[gmx-users] Elastic network model

[Tsjerk Wassenaar]

Hi Mohan,

Elastic network modeling consists of building a Hessian matrix based
on the distances. That matrix is then diagonalized and the modes are
further investigated. You could write a script to generate a .top file
with a [ bonds ] section, capturing the elastic bonds, and then use
Gromacs to generate the Hessian using the nm integrator. But that
seems more trouble than it's worth. If you think of building such a
model and then simulate it using an md integrator, be warned that
these models are very incomplete and are intended to only capture the
tangents around the starting structure.

Hope it helps,

Tsjerk
