Hi all;I am an amateur gromacs user, but i have read all the tutorials i could find on how to perform md simulations using gromacs, however i still cant find any tutorial about how to include orientation restraints in my simulations. i want to perform a simulation on a helical protein and include 4 types of RDC data from two experiments. In the manual their is an example with N-H RDC data, however i need the constant ci for other types of RDC's ( C-N, C-H, Calpha-Halpha) does anybody know how to calculate them or where can i find them? also this is an example of the itp file that contains my RDC value:[ orientation_restraints ]
; ai aj type exp. label alpha const. obs. weight
; Hz nm^3 Hz Hz^-2
;residue 2
20 21 1 1 1 3 6.083 7.72483 1.0
20 21 1 2 2 3 6.083 7.27571 1.0
;residue 4
46 47 1 1 3 3 6.083 1.864475 1.0
46 47 1 2 4 3 6.083 -14.2043 1.0
;residue 5
66 67 1 1 5 3 6.083 10.16845 1.0
66 67 1 2 6 3 6.083 -11.278 1.0
and in the topology file i added this:
; Include 1a1z protein topology
#include "1a1z.itp"
; Include Orientation restraint file
#ifdef POSRES
#include "ocNH.itp"
#endif
and then in my mdp files for the minimization, equiliberation and md i have this:
define = -DPOSRES ; restrain the protein
are these steps correct ??????thank you for your helpHanin Omar
