Dear All,
In my simulation I want to fix the S=O bond length of SO2, but the angle has to be kept flexible. So I search for the distance restraints in gromacs mailing list and accordingly I have incorporated the distant_restraints block in the topology file. After a short equilibration, when I am seeing the movie of the trajectory, the bond length is changing. So what is the right way to keep the distance fixed and the angle flexible ? Part of the topology file is as follows ; Include forcefield parameters #include "./amber94ff/forcefield.itp" [ moleculetype ] ; Name nrexcl Other_chain_A 3 [ atoms ] ; nr type resnr residue atom cgnr charge mass typeB chargeB massB ; residue 502 SR rtp CR q 0.0 1 S 502 SR S 1 0.6512 32.07 ; qtot 0.6512 2 O 502 SR O1 2 -0.3256 16 ; qtot 0.3256 3 O 502 SR O2 3 -0.3256 16 ; qtot 0 [ bonds ] ; ai aj funct c0 c1 c2 c3 1 2 1 1 3 1 [ distance_restraints ] ; ai aj type index type' low up1 up2 fac 1 2 1 0 1 1.149 1.490 1.490 1.0 1 3 1 0 1 1.149 1.490 1.490 1.0 [ angles ] ; ai aj ak funct c0 c1 c2 c3 2 1 3 1 ; Include Position restraint file #ifdef POSRES #include "posre.itp" #endif ; Include water topology #include "./amber94.ff/spc.itp" #ifdef POSRES_WATER ; Position restraint for each water oxygen [ position_restraints ] ; i funct fcx fcy fcz 1 1 1000 1000 1000 #endif ; Include topology for ions #include "./amber94.ff/ions.itp" [ system ] ; Name Protein in water [ molecules ] ; Compound #mols Other_chain_A 1 SOL 622 -- Tarak Karmakar Molecular Simulation Lab.
