Hi everyone,
I have some troubles to freeze some atoms during an MD calculation. The
system contains a protein and a water periodic box. In this calculation, i
want to freeze the protein residues and let the water residues to
redistribute.
I it try using the next input:
Solvent Equilibration
 &cntrl
  imin=0, ntx=5, irest=1,
  ntb=2,cut=8.0,
  ntp=1,
  taup=2,
  ntc=2,
  ntf=2,
  iwrap=1,
  barostat=1,
  ntt=1, temp0=300.0, gamma_ln=0.0,
  nstlim=2500, dt=0.002,
  ntpr=100,ntxo=1,ntwr=100,ntwx=100,ntr=1,ig=19,
  nmropt=1,
 /
&wt type='TEMP0', istep1=0, istep2=2500,value1=300.0, value2=300.0
/
&wt type='END'/
Protein fixed
10.0
RES 1 464
END
END
Increasing the value of the force constant I achieve to reduce the RMSD of
the system without making it 0.
I've also tried to do the same using the ibelly=1 parameter, but the
freezing is not successful.
Solvent Equilibration NPT 5 ps
 &cntrl
  imin=0, ntx=5, irest=1,
  ntb=2,cut=8.0,
  ntp=1,
  taup=2,
  ntc=2,
  ntf=2,
  iwrap=1,
  barostat=1,
  ntt=1, temp0=300.0, gamma_ln=0.0,
  nstlim=2500, dt=0.002,
  ntpr=100,ntxo=1,ntwr=100,ntwx=100,ntr=0,ig=19,
  ibelly=1,
  bellymask = ":WAT",
  nmropt=1,
 /
&wt type='TEMP0', istep1=0, istep2=2500,value1=300.0, value2=300.0
/
&wt type='END'
/
I really appreciate any suggestion.
Thanks in advance.
