Hi all,
I'm sorry for the dumb question but I need to put harmonic restraints on my peptide and I cannot find the right command. So, looking on the how tos link in the gromacs website I understand that I need to add to my topology file a posre.itp file with the section [ distance_restraints ] specified with type 6. However I cannot find the command to generate this .itp . On the contrary, for positions restraints there is the genpr command that does it, so I'm looking for the equivalent for the distance restrains. Can anyone help? Btw, I'm using GROMACS 3.3.1,

Unfortunately version 3.3.1 cannot do this automatically for you. You have to write the directive by hand using the manual as guidance. Newer Gromacs versions have options within genrestr (the updated version of genpr) that can write distance restraint matrices for selected groups.

Note that the [distance_restraints] directive need not be contained within posre.itp; it can be anywhere within the [moleculetype] to which it applies.
