NAME

6       gmx-genrestr  - Generate position restraints or distance restraints for
7       index groups

SYNOPSIS

10          gmx genrestr [-f [<.gro/.g96/...>]] [-n [<.ndx>]] [-o [<.itp>]]
11                       [-of [<.ndx>]] [-fc <vector>] [-freeze <real>]
12                       [-[no]disre] [-disre_dist <real>] [-disre_frac <real>]
13                       [-disre_up2 <real>] [-cutoff <real>] [-[no]constr]

DESCRIPTION

16       gmx genrestr produces an #include file for a topology containing a list
17       of  atom numbers and three force constants for the x-, y-, and z-direc‐
18       tion based on the contents of the -f file.  A  single  isotropic  force
19       constant may be given on the command line instead of three components.
20
21       WARNING:  Position restraints are interactions within molecules, there‐
22       fore they must be included within the correct [ moleculetype ] block in
23       the topology. The atom indices within the [ position_restraints ] block
24       must be within the range of the atom indices for  that  molecule  type.
25       Since the atom numbers in every moleculetype in the topology start at 1
26       and the numbers in the input file for gmx genrestr number consecutively
27       from 1, gmx genrestr will only produce a useful file for the first mol‐
28       ecule. You may wish to edit the resulting  index  file  to  remove  the
29       lines  for  later atoms, or construct a suitable index group to provide
30       as input to gmx genrestr.
31
32       The -of option produces an index file that can  be  used  for  freezing
33       atoms. In this case, the input file must be a .pdb file.
34
35       With  the -disre option, half a matrix of distance restraints is gener‐
36       ated instead of position restraints. With this matrix, that  one  typi‐
37       cally  would  apply  to Calpha atoms in a protein, one can maintain the
38       overall conformation of a protein without tieing it to a specific posi‐
39       tion (as with position restraints).

OPTIONS

42       Options to specify input files:
43
44       -f [<.gro/.g96/…>] (conf.gro)
45              Structure file: gro g96 pdb brk ent esp tpr
46
47       -n [<.ndx>] (index.ndx) (Optional)
48              Index file
49
50       Options to specify output files:
51
52       -o [<.itp>] (posre.itp)
53              Include file for topology
54
55       -of [<.ndx>] (freeze.ndx) (Optional)
56              Index file
57
58       Other options:
59
60       -fc <vector> (1000 1000 1000)
61              Force constants (kJ/mol nm^2)
62
63       -freeze <real> (0)
64              If  the  -of  option  or this one is given an index file will be
65              written containing atom numbers of all atoms that have a  B-fac‐
66              tor less than the level given here
67
68       -[no]disre (no)
69              Generate a distance restraint matrix for all the atoms in index
70
71       -disre_dist <real> (0.1)
72              Distance  range  around  the actual distance for generating dis‐
73              tance restraints
74
75       -disre_frac <real> (0)
76              Fraction of distance to be used as interval rather than a  fixed
77              distance.  If the fraction of the distance that you specify here
78              is less than the distance given in the previous option, that one
79              is used instead.
80
81       -disre_up2 <real> (1)
82              Distance  between  upper  bound for distance restraints, and the
83              distance at which the force becomes constant (see manual)
84
85       -cutoff <real> (-1)
86              Only generate distance restraints for atoms pairs within  cutoff
87              (nm)
88
89       -[no]constr (no)
90              Generate  a  constraint  matrix rather than distance restraints.
91              Constraints of type 2 will be generated that do generate  exclu‐
92              sions.
