Hi ,
I am having the same problem at the moment. My reference coordinate file
has the same coordinates as the one that is loaded. Maybe I missed it,
but what should the reference coordinate file contain? Also in my force
constant file I wrote the force constant values to column B for the
atoms that are restrained. But I have seen no change when I changed the
force constant values.
constraints on
consKCol B
consRef ./coordref.pdb
consKFile ./restrain.pdb
Thanks
Ozlem
