Dear users,


Although I put the position restraints on backbone, I get RMSD around 0.2 nm. 
Is it usual?

No, 0.2 nm is very high. With position restraints, offhand I would think around 0.05 nm or less would be indicative of proper restraints.

This deviation is just for a minimization step only. I' m on doubt about 
keeping the backbone in a fix secondary structure.
I' d prefer to restraint the backbone completely. Is it possible?


Yes, using genrestr to create a suitable posre.itp file that includes only backbone atoms.

Thanks in advance.



Restraints allow, by definition, for slight deviations.

Dear gmx users,

I want to use restraints on backbone of my protein to keep its secondary
  structure during minimization and equilibration steps. To do so, I
generated backbone-restrain.itp and then included it to top file. Next,
added define = -DPOSRES to minim.mdp file.
After minimization, when I check the minimization output file, I saw
that the backbone of input and output files are not exactly the same.
Is there any step which I have not done to set the restraints correctly?


Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,
Shima
