Hi,

I'm a complete novice when it comes to using any kind of command prompt based programmes and hadn't even heard of Linux until my supervisor wanted me to use gromacs ... so needless to say I'm running into a few problems!!

I've managed to perform all the generic energy minimisations etc on my protein (basically I can do everything that has been spoon fed to me on the tutorial), but now I want to begin simulating AFM pulling experiments. I've printed (and bound!) the entire manual but I'm still coming up against problems with understanding how I go about running the AFM simulations.


Does anyone have a basic syntax they have used to perform a similar simulation so I can work from there and figure out what I need to put where?

Also, do I need to create any specific input files for these simulations?

Thanks so much for your help with this...

There is a steered MD component to the umbrella sampling tutorial:

http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Tutorials#Pull_Code_and_Umbrella_Sampling

Though it is an excellent reference, the manual will not teach you everything you need to know. The mailing list archive (although currently glitching) and Google are your friends, as well. There are hundreds of threads in the archive about pull code success and failure, at least some of which should be informative :)


Thanks loads!! I'll give it a try! Natalie xxx
