Re: Need help to generate ubq-get-energy.conf

Dear Eric,
I got a little bit confused because this is not mentioned in the tutorial.
According to the tutorial I thought it was only enough to generate the
protein dcd file. Now you are telling me that I also have to generate a
protein psf and pdb file. This means that I have to write a conf file for a
simulation in vacuum am I right? Would that give me the correct protein
energies which fit the one I obtained in windows via namd's namdenergy
visual plugin.
Because in that case I wont have for full-system periodic electrostatics
which means that PME's are not included in my results. Hence the result will
be the same with MDenergy. If I am wrong please feel free to correct me.
But when I use vmd's mdenergy extension in windows I think these are
included.
I have 1500 trajectories so I need to evaluate energies using a script that
is why I am not doing calculations in windows.
I tought that by doing the way I did, it would include PME and periodic BC
and give me the energy of the protein (This is I think what vmd does in
windows)
So actually I could reformulate my problem such that the energies for the
protein I obtained via linux tutorial and windows tutorial are different.
Does anybody have a example ubq-get-energy.conf file (It is not included in
the tutorial files)
Best,
Mert
