To set up an infinite cellulose chain, you need: 1): Set up" periodic_molecules = yes" in your mdp file. 2): Built the connection, such as bonds, angles, dihedrals and 1-4 pairs between the last residue and the first residue in your topology file. Infinite chain usually means the end of molecules is linked to itself, which is the mirror of the head groups. You need to process by your own script.
That's all. Good Luck! 2015-11-09 9:41 GMT+01:00 Pierre-André Cazade <pierre.caz...@ul.ie>: > Dear GMX users, > > I am currently simulating a system involving an infinite slab of > cellulose.
