[gmx-users] monitoring position restraint energy

[David L. Bostick]

Hi David,

Thanks for the help.  I think that's the best bet.  So far I have been
using g_traj for the coordinates.  I just think it would be nice to have
direct access to the energy.  I used the pull code to generate starting
structures, but in the end, I have a very complex reaction coordinate for
Chloride.  The pull code only helps to calculate the PMF along a reaction
coordinate between two groups.  When there is some arbitrary reaction
coordinate it seems that generating starting structures is best.  It will
also allow me to sample the coordinate points for a longer period of time
for better statistics...  

Once again.. thanks,
David
