Re: Minimization with CHARMM

Hi Ted,

Here is an input script that beginners may find helpful. It contains a
lot of options which you may not need, but gives a feel for how the NAMD
commands should be implemented. Note that sections preceded by 'if{0}{'
will not be interpreted as part of the script, while 'if{1}{' sections
will. This way you can use a single script for many simulations, turning
on/off options as you need them.

Are you minimizing for long enough? Check the post I just made to Gerald.
