Hi,
I'm a new user and am interested in using NAMD for minimization purposes.
I've downloaded the CHARMM potentials, and tried the following
minimization script, but it does not
seem to minimize my structures very well (when minimizing test native
PDB files, I get structures that are 5-6 angstroms off).
I was wondering if anyone could provide me with a 'standard' minimization
script that I could start off with, or give me suggestions on how to
improve mine?  Thanks!
