Dear Amber users and developers,
I’ve run QM/MM simulations of a protein with its ligand.
While visualising the obtained trajectories, I’ve noticed that a given residue (179) engages in different interactions in the initial structure and during the production phase. To depict this structural rearrangements, I wanted to use the nativecontacts command from CPPTRAJ in a manner that it would calculate the by residue native contacts present in the initial structure, given as a reference, and then show that these native contacts are lost and others are formed (non native contacts become native contacts) using the following input file:
#Load topology and trajectories
parm ../native2.parm
trajin ../nat2-0_0_19.nc
reference ../../../2/Neutralized/nat2_md-qm_0.pdb parm ../native2.parm
#Native contacts analysis
nativecontacts :179&!.CA,C,O,N,H \
byresidue resoffset 4 out nat2-0_NC-179.nb \
noimage distance 8.0 reference \
writecontacts nat2-0_NC-179.out \
resout nat2-0_NC-179.resout \
series seriesout nat2-0_NC-179.nc_vs_t \
map mapout nat2-0_NC-179 \
Nevertheless I get empty files.. As it is the first time I’m using this command, I suspect there are some errors in it, please help me correct it in order to get the information I wish (native contacts vs time, non native contacts vs time, strength of contacts made, lasting native contacts..).
Thank you in advance,
Ruth
