6 gmx-morph - Interpolate linearly between conformations

9 gmx morph [-f1 [<.gro/.g96/...>]] [-f2 [<.gro/.g96/...>]] [-n [<.ndx>]]
10 [-o [<.xtc/.trr/...>]] [-or [<.xvg>]] [-[no]w]
11 [-xvg <enum>] [-ninterm <int>] [-first <real>]
12 [-last <real>] [-[no]fit]
13
15 gmx morph does a linear interpolation of conformations in order to cre‐
16 ate intermediates. Of course these are completely unphysical, but that
17 you may try to justify yourself. Output is in the form of a generic
18 trajectory. The number of intermediates can be controlled with the
19 -ninterm flag. The first and last flag correspond to the way of inter‐
20 polating: 0 corresponds to input structure 1 while 1 corresponds to
21 input structure 2. If you specify -first < 0 or -last > 1 extrapola‐
22 tion will be on the path from input structure x_1 to x_2. In general,
23 the coordinates of the intermediate x(i) out of N total intermediates
24 correspond to:
25
26 x(i) = x_1 + (first+(i/(N-1))*(last-first))*(x_2-x_1)
27
28 Finally the RMSD with respect to both input structures can be computed
29 if explicitly selected (-or option). In that case, an index file may be
30 read to select the group from which the RMS is computed.
31
33 Options to specify input files:
34
35 -f1 [<.gro/.g96/…>] (conf1.gro)
36 Structure file: gro g96 pdb brk ent esp tpr
37
38 -f2 [<.gro/.g96/…>] (conf2.gro)
39 Structure file: gro g96 pdb brk ent esp tpr
40
41 -n [<.ndx>] (index.ndx) (Optional)
42 Index file
43
44 Options to specify output files:
45
46 -o [<.xtc/.trr/…>] (interm.xtc)
47 Trajectory: xtc trr cpt gro g96 pdb tng
48
49 -or [<.xvg>] (rms-interm.xvg) (Optional)
50 xvgr/xmgr file
51
52 Other options:
53
54 -[no]w (no)
55 View output .xvg, .xpm, .eps and .pdb files
56
57 -xvg <enum> (xmgrace)
58 xvg plot formatting: xmgrace, xmgr, none
59
60 -ninterm <int> (11)
61 Number of intermediates
62
63 -first <real> (0)
64 Corresponds to first generated structure (0 is input x_1, see
65 above)
66
67 -last <real> (1)
68 Corresponds to last generated structure (1 is input x_2, see
69 above)
70
71 -[no]fit (yes)
72 Do a least squares fit of the second to the first structure
73 before interpolating
