Hi,
   I have a pair of polypeptides which are generated as ideal helix. I want to 
carry out their assembly/dis-assembly simulation by maintaining the helicity of 
them.
I wonder which of the methods for retaining helicity is better :
1. use a harmonic restraints using [bonds] directive using type 6  among the 
backbone amide Hbond between i and i+4th residue.
2. Use dihedral restraint to maintain phi and Psi.
Any help will be appreciated.

Either should work. Method 2 may be slightly more direct and less error-prone since the restraints can be easily written using genrestr.
