[gmx-users] The molecular structure

2008-08-26 Thread Chih-Ying Lin
Hi

the molecular structure : bond length, bond angle, dihedral angle 

the bond length, bond angle are easily determined..
but the dihedral angle are hard to control...

with one set of the force field parameter, I could not get the exact
structure of the molecule (not all of the dihedral  angles are the
same , but bond length and bond angle are the same)

will it affect my rest of simulation severely?

Thanks
Lin

Are you looking to control (i.e., restrain/constrain) these parameters, or 
measure them?

I should think not!  All bonds are not created equal.  Maybe I'm just missing 
your meaning.  Are you missing a parameter for your molecule?  If so, you'll 
have to derive it, or at least use a comparable parameter.  Are you trying to 
make a measurement?  If so, you haven't provided enough information to get a 
very helpful reply.

Depends on how you answer the above :)
