How long the MD simulation should be? The problem is that I run multiple simulation (a hundred at a time) and the MD are really time consuming. I should probably can't do it, if the time you propose is too long, I probably forget it.<br clear="all">

Here is what I have done:<br>
<br>
First, I created the .gro file with the command line: <br>
pdb2gmx -f test.pdb -o test.gro -p test.top -ignh -missing<br>
<br>
<br>
Then, I added at the end of my test.top file the following lines (I double checked the atom numbers):<br>
<br>
[ distance_restraints ]<br>
; ai aj type index type' low up1 up2 fac<br>
37 140 1 0 1 0.19 0.21 0.22 1<br>
<br>
then, I done: <br>
editconf -f test.gro -o test-box.gro -d 2.0 -c -bt cubic<br>
<br>
grompp -c test-box.gro -p test.top -o test-min.tpr -f test-em.mdp<br>
<br>
mdrun -s test-min.tpr -c test-min.gro -deffnm test-min -v -nice 0<br>
<br>
<br>
and finally get my new pdb file with:<br>
<br>
editconf -f test-min.gro -o test-min.pdb<br>
<br>
But it didn't seemed it had make the two sufur atom closer than if I didn't add the distance_restrain in the top file.<br>
<br>
Did I do something wrong?<br>

Simple energy minimization is unlikely to give rise to the structural changes you need to bring these atoms close together. Running a short MD simulation may work, though if the atoms are very far apart and you force them together quickly, you may have stability issues.<div class="HOEnZb">
