Alternatively, making the initial path with PATHSAMPLE itself

Jump to navigation Jump to search

To run PATHSAMPLE with AMBER9, you need to have the following files in a directory together:

  • coords.prmtop - from setup (symmetrised)
  • coords.inpcrd - from setup (can be any structure, it is not used!)
  • min.in - as usual for the other OPTIM/GMIN runs
  • perm.allow - from setup
  • odata.start:

The DIJINITSTART keyword is the one that sets off OPTIM local minimizations for min1.1 and min2.2, takes those minima as the two end points, then tries iteratively to make a connected path between them by setting up and running some OPTIM connection-making jobs between likely pairs of minima. It analyses the output from those jobs and adds all the min-TS-min triples found to the growing database. The run will stop when you have made a fully connected discrete path between the end points.

The COPYOPTIM keyword is useful for debugging to see how well the connection-making attempts are doing. Have a look at the OPTIM.connect.* files, as described in Finding an initial path with OPTIM and starting up PATHSAMPLE. It is not a keyword that you want to leave in pathdata when doing the later sampling part of the calculations though as you'll get loads of random files cluttering up your working directory!!!

Also, make sure you set the full path of your A9OPTIM executable correctly on the EXEC line.
