you need to run genpr to generate a restrained position file posresfile.itp with a determined force constant value fc and include the name file in *.mdp file using define label, for example, run
genpr -f my_molecule.pdb -o posresfile.itp -fc 20 edit *.mdp to include cpp = /usr/bin/cpp . . . define= -DPOSRESFILE On Nov 20, 2007 7:30 AM, Peggy Yao <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > How to specify the .mdp file in order to run position restrained > simulation?
