[gmx-users] Making Disulfide Bonds

.. and the main question- what should be in mdp file of such restrained
minimisation ?

Today I've done vry properly minimisation of such system in vacuum with the
CG minimisator and applied disres ( above example ) with big force constant
( disres options have been defined in the minim.mdp file ). As the result I
have not noticed any perturbation in the distance between two S-S atoms the
distance between wich I've constrained.
