[gmx-developers] regd do_fnbf() non bonded interaction

[Jason DeJoannis]

Hi Anjan,

 See my postings from a couple months ago. I modified do_force() to
include such a mutation. But so far complex (i.e. polyatomic) mutations
are beyond me. Here is a sample monte carlo mutation:

bool do_atom_mutation(int *seed, int i, int tj, 
             t_topology *top, t_mdatoms *mdatoms,
             rvec x[], t_forcerec *fr, real beta, 
             t_atomtypes *atypes)
{
 /* I've omitted the calculation of the acceptance probability mut_acc */

  if (rando(seed) < mut_acc) {  /* accept the mutation */
    mass_change = atypes->mass[tj] - top->atoms.atom[i].m;
    top->atoms.atom[i].type = tj;
    top->atoms.atom[i].m    = atypes->mass[tj];
    top->atoms.atom[i].q    = atypes->charge[tj];
    mdatoms->typeA[i]       = tj;
    mdatoms->massA[i]       = atypes->mass[tj];
    mdatoms->chargeA[i]     = atypes->charge[tj];
    mdatoms->tmass         += mass_change;
    mdatoms->invmass[i]     = 1.0/atypes->mass[tj];
    mdatoms->massT[i]       = atypes->mass[tj];
    top->atoms.atomname[i]  = atypes->atomname[tj];
    top->atoms.resname[i]   = atypes->resname[tj];
    return(TRUE);
  }
  else
    return(FALSE);
}

  Any suggestions for polyatomic mutation, eg: H2O->NH3  ??
