not really... You need to pull the CENTER of mass of lots of atoms,
which is not the same, right ?

I believe the error you got in your second attempt was related to the
maximum number of atoms you can have in a given group.

Look at page 27 of the AMBER 20 manual.

You can have MAXIMUM 200 atoms in a group, and it is possible you have more.


So, there are two options:


1. Change the value of I think the variable MAXGRP in the actual code,
and recompile. If you never changed the code/recompiled, I would not
recommend this.

2. Reduce the number of atoms in your group mask. I am betting you can
look at the atoms you choose and reduced it by half. For example, if you
list all CA atoms in your molecule, list instead every OTHER CA atom.


More general comments.


Your input (and I do think you want to use jar, NOT nmropt)

which is WAY too fast


&rst

iat=2709,1365,

r2=72.67,

r2a=0.0,

rk2=7.2,

&end


Your input (and I do think you want to use jar, NOT nmropt)

is trying to go from 72 A to zero A in 20K steps, which is WAY to fast.


Moreover, you truly do not wan to go to zero ! You want to go to the
minimal distance possible between your two groups of atoms.
