Could you please try replacing the RAMA term with the newer torsionDB term. Setup in your script should be: from torsionDBPotTools import create_TorsionDBPot torsionDBPot = create_TorsionDBPot('tDB') potList.append( torsionDBPot ) rampedParams.append( MultRamp(.002,2,"torsionDBPot.setScale(VALUE)") ) Hopefully, this will solve the problem... best regards-- Charles _______________________________________________ Xplor-nih mailing list Xplor-nih@cake.cit.nih.gov http://cake.cit.nih.gov/mailman/listinfo/xplor-nih
