[gmx-users] Normal Mode Analysis

[James Starlight]

As the consequence I've done my NMA calculations without of any constraints
:)

integrator    = nm        ; Normal Mode Analysis
constraints         =  none


but I'm not sure if this could be valid because I didnt found any literature
of such NMA in Gromacs. Could someone provide me with the appropriate
cut-offs for the NMA in gromacs?

By the way before this NMA I've done 2 energy minimization calculations
first by Steepest algorithm (emtool= 1000) and then by CG ( emtool=10)
but resulting force was still not small enought (8.92766e+02). How I can
futher minimize my structurere?

Finally I've forced with the diffuculty of the analysing of my data by the
g_anaeig
E,g I want to obtain fluctuations of some atoms from my eigenvectors
g_anaeig -s fornma22.tpr -v eigenvec.trr -eig eigenval2.xvg -rmsf -first -1
1 0

I've obtained a .xvg file fith the fluctuations along 1st mode but during
opening that file by xgrace I've obtain some input error. Whats I've done
wrong ?


Thanks,
James
