[gmx-users] com motion

[Mustafa Toprakçý]

Hi Anton,
I almost understood the situation. As you say the binding cavity in my
complex is very narrow. So it needs longer time first. Then I have to
tether the protein not freeze. Increasing the temperature is not much
affective bacause it goes to internal motion. Because there is no 
temperature coupling for comm group option in the code. 
 And I sould define protein as comm_group, this way ligand comm motion
will be free.

Thanks,
Mustafa
