R: Re: [gmx-users] Rotation Constraints - PMF + rerun

[battistia at libero.it]

Dear Carsten,

Thank you very much for your very useful help!
I'm making some tries to test the orire options that probably will solve my 
problem.

In order to do not waste resource, I thought using the rerun option of mdrun I 
can use the trajectories generated before, where my mistake was to allow the 
rotation of my structure. 
So I generated a new topol.tpr file changing the orire options in the mdp and 
I made:

1. mdrun -rerun ../traj.xtc -s topol.tpr -o trj.trr
2. trjcat -f traj.trr -o trajout.xtc

but in the trajout.xtc there is only one point as I can check for example 
with: 
3. g_gyrate -f trajout.xtc -s topol.tpr -n index.ndx


Could you confirm me that it is not possible follow this idea?
In fact I suppose that this method it is not applicable;  but  it is necessary 
to generate a new trajectory, because the angular restraints modify completely 
the trajectory.

Or, just to be sure,  did I not made the things in the right way? 

Thank you very much!

Anna

A number of separate "s" in turn generate a complex structure A, that is
