Re: Calculate energy of a residue using NAMD energy

Are you running this with VMD?

The Tcl environments for VMD and NAMD are different - if using NAMD my
guess is that none of those "package require" commands are working
correctly.

It requires some modest scripting, but I believe you can do what you want
in NAMD using the pairInteraction keyword (user guide p. 222) along with
the coorFile (which probably deserves more bold documentation, user guide
p. 18).
