Re: [gmx-users] RMS deviation after position restraint dynamics

2009-05-18 Thread Joshua Adelman
A restraint is not a constraint, and assuming that you are simulating  
your system at a finite temperature, you should expect to see some  
fluctuations in a given atom's position.

Dear All,
I am running position restraint dynamics to restrain the atom

(Although the deviation is very little).

Could you please explain why is the deviation?
Thank You,

You should read in the manual about how position restraints are implemented.

If you wanted zero RMS deviation in one of your observables, perhaps you 
should re-think why you are running *dynamics*. :-)

[gmx-users] RMS deviation after position restraint dynamics
