Thanks.

Is this position restraint same to the one "Position Restrained MD". I see some tutorial shows there are always three step to perform a simulation: Energy minimization, Position Restrained MD and MD Simulation.

"Always" is too strong, but this is common.

Is it possible to fulfill the position restraint during Position Restrained MD? Thanks.

Yes, hence the name. How well they can be fulfilled depends on the initial and simulation conditions.

        Firstly I want to thank for your reply, yes, it should be
        position restraint.

        I don't know how to reply in the thread, actually that was my
        first post. Therefore I have to ask you here, hope it also
        work to you.


    Simply reply to the message.  The discussion needs to stay on the
    list.  The members are not private tutors.

        My question is how to perform a position restraint simulation
        with the heavy atom constrained to its initial position by a
        harmonic potential E=k(r-r0)^2,
        which changes with k equal to 0, 10, 20, ..., 90, 100, and so on?


    You can adjust the force constant in the posre.itp file.  There is
    no automated way of decreasing or increasing a restraint;
    independent simulations must be run on the different topologies.

        Thanks, and any helps will be highly appreciated.
