Hi,

I wish to force my system to maintained an Hbond during a simulation. In order to do so I am using a distance restraint protocol, with the following parameters:

In the topology file/:

/[ distance_restraints ]
; ai     aj type index type' low up1 up2 fac
  2786 3262 1    0     2     0.295 0.305 0.315 1.0 ;

and in the run input file:

; DISTANCE RESTRAINTS
disre               =  simple
disre_weighting     =  equal
disre_fc            =  20
disre_mixed         =  yes
disre_tau           =  10
nstdisreout         =  1000

The atoms numbering was taken from the topology file ( /268LYSH NZ 2786 3.939 7.037 5.060 0.2307 -0.0416 -0.3125/ and /320GLU OE1 3262 3.872 6.806 4.875 -0.2077 -0.0055 -0.1229/ ) and is based the crystal structure (for atoms and distance). When I looked into the tpr file, the same atoms are numbered differently.

My questions are:
1. should I use the numbering as given in the topology file?
2. Am I using it correctly? Should I use a force bigger then 20kJ?

All the best,
Itamar

PS I am using GROMACS VERSION 4.0.7 in double precisin on a Linux cluster.
