Re: one question about gtp flipping in namd simulation

It's not clear from your message "how" it flipped. We need much more
information. A dihedral rotated? Which dihedral? By how much? The whole
GTP rotated about its center of mass? How far? And...the environment of
the GTP is not described, which likely (assuming correct GTP parameters)
plays a crucial element in the explanation of the "flip."

Best,
Chris
