[gmx-users] how to write .top file for a rigid molecule

[Arthur Roberts]

Dear Jinyao,

If you are talking about making the ring rigid and side group rigid, I  
would suggest adding a bunch of improper dihedrals to keep the  
molecule rigid.  I found without adding the improper dihedrals that  
molecules that I would expect to be rigid were uncharacteristically  
conformationally flexible.  I hope that helps.

Best wishes,
