So you'll need to calculate accurate force constants of molecular vibrations of 
meaningful conformations.

MD might be good for getting to sample a useful set of conformations, but  QM 
on the resulting conformations will give you better estimates of force 
constants. It sounds like you need to spend some time reading up on this stuff.

Hi Justin,

Thanks for your reply! And sorry for the vague question due to my little
knowledge on the spectroscopy.

What I want to reproduce is wavenumber of C-H vibrations in alkyl
chains. In NMR experiments, such wavenumber is measured to be 2000-3000
cm-1, namely in the middle region of infra red. I wonder whether I can
reproduce it or not?

I hope this is bit of clearer! Thanks a lot!

regards,
Baofu Qiao

Your question is too vague to get much useful advice.  The term "spectroscopy" 
can refer to a large number of techniques.  I am unaware of any tutorial related 
to any spectroscopic technique, however, but you might get some useful advice if 
you ask a more specific question (i.e., what you're actually trying to do).

[gmx-users] question about Gromacs and Spectroscopy

2010-06-30 Thread Baofu Qiao
Hi all,

I want to reproduce some experimental data on Spectroscopy using
Gromacs. I want to know is it possible? If yes, how to do that? Is there
any tutorial related to that?

Any help is appreciate!
