Hi Karteek,
NAMD only applies rigid bonds to hydrogen atoms. It decides what is
hydrogen based on mass. If you want to rigidify other bonds, you can
either reduce the atom's mass to something greater than 1.0 and less
than 3.5 or alter the code that decides whether the atom is hydrogen
or not. See the line "} else if (atoms[atom_number-1].mass <=3.5) {"
in Molecule.C. You can change it to something like the following for
to get atoms named "X..." to be identified as hydrogen:
} else if ( atoms[atom_number-1].mass <=3.5 ||
atomNames[atom_number-1].atomname[0] == 'X' )
I've only done this for atoms with a single bond. I'm not sure it
works for other geometries.
Regards,
Jeff
