Dear gmx-users,

I would like to minimize the potential energy of the active site of an enzyme. Because I do not have too much computer power to perform a full enzyme calculation, I need to create three different zones in which the calculation will take place. The first one is the outer boundary of the enzyme that will remain frozen during the calculation.

Look for "freeze groups" in the manual. They work with MD and I'm guessing they also work with EM.

The second one is a transition region between the active site region and the outer boundary, whose atoms will receive a parabolic potential in order to move just a little bit.

Use position restraints.

The last one is the active site itself which will be freely minimized. I would like to know how do I implement it in practice. Does anyone has a Gromacs script for this task? The other question is how do I freeze only the C-alpha chain?

Apply a freeze group only to the C-alpha atoms. You'll need to use make_ndx to make the group and give that index file to grompp as well as the usual stuff.

If you're as new to GROMACS as you sound like you might be, you should do some tutorial material and read the first few chapters of the manual thoroughly. Doing the above would not be a good way to get your first exposure to using GROMACS.
