Re: [AMBER] mdgx configuration sampling

The "Configs >> Processed 0 restraint operations" output means that it
didn't recognize your restraint command. Very likely the apostrophes in
the atom names are the problem--it is thinking that there is a quotation in
there perhaps. First, make sure that there is a space between ":2.C5'
<space> min" and let me have a look at the code for processing keywords
with apostrophes. I know I've programmed it to be able to detect them in
some fashion but I also need to reserve double and single quotations to
demarcate phrases (like ambmasks) that should all be taken as one input.
Try putting additional, double quotations around each of the ambmasks like
this:

GridSample ":2.P" ":2.O6'" ":2.C6'" ":2.C5'" min -180 max 180 Krst 64

I'll have a look in the code to see if there's some other convention you
can use.
