Hello, I´m using grimaces 2016 to pull a dihedral angle. With the angle I can force the flipping in and out of a single bulge in a RNA system. I tried with different k. I do a simulation of 180 ns with a rate of 1 degree each ns. I always put the reference at 0 degree I have obtained different results: Sometime when I see the file pullx.xvg it says that my COM is changing but in reality it dose not. When I see the trajectory with VMD I can see that the bulge is not moving.
Some other time instead (changing randomly k), the bulge moves, but it dose a rotation of 180 degrees with few steps and for the rest of the simulations stay steady. Some other time it continues 'to be pulled’ and break the structure. Any suggestion? This is the part for the pulling: pull-coord1-geometry = dihedral pull-coord1-groups = 1 2 3 4 5 6 pull-group1-pbcatom = 0 pull_group1_name = phospate_6 pull_group2_name = phospate_8 pull_group3_name = phospate_8 pull_group4_name = U7 pull_group5_name = U7 pull_group6_name = bulge pull_coord1_rate = 1 pull_coord1_k = 100. (I modify this) pull-coord1-start = yes pull-coord1-init = -59.903 Thanks for the help!
