Hi NAMD users and developers,
I'd like to "twist" a molecule by applying a torque along an axis. I am
looking at "rotating constraints" in the user guide. But a simple
rotation is not what I want. Somehow I would want to "fix" a few distant
atoms away from the pivot point so that the molecules can be twisted
eventually (ex: like winding up a helical structure). If so, would you
recommend including "harmonic constraints" or simply assigning a few
"fixed" atoms to the reference pdb file in order to accomplish that?
Please advise and thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
