Hi All,
I am trying to confine a large amount of water molecules within an annulus
of a protein which is in a vacuum.
The water molecules escape along the z-directions.
I have tried to accomplish this by defining harmonic walls using the
collective variables modules.
My first attempt involved defining all waters as a single collective
variable:
colvarsTrajFrequency 100
colvar {
name water
lowerboundary -39.0
upperboundary 48.0
lowerWallConstant 5.0
lowerWall -38.0
upperWall 47.0
upperWallConstant 5.0
distanceZ {
main { atomNumbersRange 179209-224829 }
ref { atomNumbersRange 224830-316341 }
axis { (0.0 , 0.0 , 1.0) }
}
}
The waters still escaped.
My second attempt involved selecting each of the ~15,000 waters as an
individual collective variable; however, this will take a long time to
initialize the simulation.
What is smarter way to go about this? Thanks!
