Hi:
I have a carbon nanotube (CNT) and several carbonly groups (C=O). Meanwhile the carbonly carbon atoms are part of the CNT. That is to say an oxygen atom is attached to one carbon atom of the CNT to form a carbonyl group. All the carbon atoms are supposed to be fixed, while carbonyl carbon and oxygen atoms are supposed to have bond interactions. I can freeze the rest carbon atoms of the CNT, but how to deal with the carbonly atoms?

By "fixed," do you mean their positions should be invariant (i.e. freeze groups) or that their bond lengths should be constrained? If the former, then you should be able to make use of index groups to define an appropriate freezegrp in the .mdp file. If the latter, use "constraints = none" in the .mdp file, and write a [constraints] directive for the bonds you do wish to be constrained.

Any suggestions are appreciated!
Thank you in advance!
