Dear sir
I want to apply harmonic restraint to the entire structure by 2.4
kcal/mol/A and will perform energy minimization by steepest descent
method followed by 100 ps simulation for DNA-drug complex.I need to
reduce the harmonic restaint slowly to zero by decreasing the force
constant value. But I don't know where to decrease the force constant
value. Where i will reduce the value in .mdp file? How can I apply
harmonic restraint in whole structure?
There is no automated way to decrease the force constant of a restraint. The
best option is to decrease it manually by using .mdp files that specify a short
number of steps and conditionals in the topology (i.e. #ifdef statements
triggered by the "define" keyword in the .mdp file).
