Hi, all,

I am looking for a way in gromacs or manually to make all the angles, etc. ideal. Perhaps, there is a way to energy minimize a specific subset of residues or a single residue. Your advice would be greatly appreciated.


Couldn't you just specify very strong force constants for all the bonds, angles, etc? Even in the absence of increased force constants, an in vacuo minimization should produce pretty good geometry, should it not? Using constraints should help as well, even perhaps "constraints = all-angles."

To minimize only a subset, you could perhaps freeze the other atoms, but that can be tricky depending on the rest of the .mdp settings. Perhaps a strong position restraint on anything you don't want to move? You can use genrestr with a custom index group to specify the atoms to be restrained.
