Editing Evaluating different components of AMBER energy function with SANDER

After running AMBGMIN (with 'DUMPSTRUCTURES', 'SAVE 5' set in GMIN 'data' file), it is informative to examine the different components of the all-atom energy function. The AMBGMIN output contains averages over MD time steps which is not the same at the evaluation of the lowest energy state. One way of doing this is to run one step of minimisation with SANDER.

This is easily done. Three input files are needed prmtop, inpcrd, and mdin, along with the SANDER executable.

-> prmtop

  (amber topology file)

-> inpcrd

  (amber coordinates file)

-> mdin

  (SANDER input file)

An easy way to do this is create an seperate directory via 'mkdir eval'

1. compile SANDER

2. move files from GMIN output directory

cp min1.rst eval/inpcrd cp coord.prmtop eval/prmtop cp min.in eval/mdin

3. output files:

mdinfo - Energy function output only mdout - Total Amber output restrt - coordinates for restarting AMBER
