Dear NAMD and VMD users,
I'm trying to build topology file for sorbitol. I have used glycerol
topology file in order to do it. I'm using psfgen with this topology
file in order to create pdb and psf. The problem is that the molecule
created with this topology file is not sorbitol but its isomer. I have
tried to change the Internal coordinate definitions in topology file but
it looks like psfgen ignores this lines at all and creates the molecule
based on its own default parameters. The files i'm using are attached. I
hope somebody can help me with it.
Thank you in advance
Regina
The attached files:
sorbitol_alone.pdb - input file to psfgen in oder to create sorbitol
using only one coordinate (guesscoord can do it)
one_sorbitol.psf/pdb - output files from psfgen
topology file - sorbitol definitions at the end of file
