![]() ![]() We create a selection with all the atoms in the system, by typing in the TkCon window:ģ. The molecule looks terrible! That is because VMD is reading the velocities as if they were coordinates, but how it looks doesn't matter: we just need VMD to make a file containing the masses and velocities for every atom.Ģ. In the Determine file type: pull-down menu, choose NAMD Binary Coordinates, and load again. Browse for the restart velocity file (in our case, it was 2v0w_hydr_wb_i_eq.restart.vel), the type of file need this time to be selected. Here we will confirm that the kinetic energy distribution of the atoms in a system corresponds to the Maxwell distribution for a given temperature.ġ. This analysis will check whether the minimization, the heating and the equilibration took place correctly and whether the protein did not explode. The following section is a kind of tutorial, which describes step by step how to obtain our different results. We stored all our scripts, which were highly modified compared to the original ones, in order to fit our needs. The distance collective variable will measure the COM distance. Namd can run different kind of simulations, from minimization to MD simulations. To add to Davides answer: I would recommend using the collective variables plugin of VMD. ![]() Complete process is on a separate page How to launch a simulation. rtf generated in the previous sections and we explain how to launch NAMD on both clusters we have access to. This is a kind of summary of the tutorial. Steps to generate all the input files are explained in detail on this page: pdb in addition to parameter and topology files to go through. In this section, we explain all the steps to create needed files for NAMD, except the. Information needed Generating input files It is based on Charm++ parallel programming model, and uses VMD for simulation setup and trajectory analysis. NAMD is a molecular dynamics code designed for simulation of large biomolecular systems. You can have more information on their webpage. It provides a wide range of molecular representations, and includes tools for working with volumetric data, sequence data, and arbitrary graphics objects. VMD is a molecular visualization program for displaying, animating, and analyzing biomolecular systems using 3-D graphics and built-in scripting. ![]()
