As a highly optimized parallel MD tool, compiled Desmond is around 20-30% faster than the pre-compiled version which is distrubuted in Schrodinger software. here are some steps for how to compile Desmond from source code. 1. download source code from http://www.deshawresearch.com/resources_desmond. ...
It would be necessary to restrain bond length or dihedral angle when optimizing geometry of ligand to avoid intra-molecular hydrogen bonds and transition state type structures. here is some description of restrain in Gaussian. from http://www.gaussian.com/g_tech/g_ur/k_opt.htm Opt DESCRIPT ...
---------------Restrain atoms --------------- restrain = { atom = "asl:(chain.name A) AND (atom.ptype CA)" force_constant = 10.0 } constraining protein CA or backbone is of great use when MD is producing based on homology models. ---------------Extract trajectory ----- ...
Installation: A) Install MPI. B) Make sure that the mpi compilers (mpicc?) are in the path visible to SCons; if they don't install to the standard place that the normal user can see, then you can try going into rosetta_source/tools/build and copying th ...
