[gmx-developers] harmonic potentials with OpenMM

[Jochen Hub]

Hi developers,

I have been trying to restrain an ion in a protein by adding a bond of 
type 6 (harmonic potential). When running with OpenMM, mdrun gives the error

"OpenMM does not support (some) of the provided interaction type(s) 
(Harmonic Pot.) "

I just talked to Peter Estman, and from the side of OpenMM there seems 
to be no obstacle why one should not have one additional harmonic 
potential between two atoms. Therefore I was wondering if you (the 
developers) are planning to support such additional harmonic bonds in 
the near future. Actually I would be *very* interested in having that.

Thanks,

Jochen
