[gmx-users] intermolecular distance restraint

[Jochen Hub]

Hi Warren,

if you want to use distance restraints, the two proteins must be in the
same gromacs "molecule". AFAIK, it is impossible to use distance
restraints between atoms of different molecules. Altermatively, you may
want to consider bonds of type 6 (not subject to lincs).

pdb2gmx -merge is useful to create the topology of a "molecule" that
actually contains 2 proteins.

If the two proteins must be in different gromacs "molecules", you would
have to use the pull code.

Best,
Jochen
