This is a little tricky. What you will need to do is make your system as
normal. And then move the CA atoms into the shape of the reference
structure .
This will look something like
mol new ionised.psf
mol addfile ionised.pdb
set selall [atomselct 0 "all"]
$selall set beta 0
set sel1 [atomselect 0 "structure selection make sure its CAs for
simplicity"]
$sel1 set beta 1
mol new reference.psf
mol addfile reference.pdb
set sel2 [atomselect 1 "the corresponding residues you want to align"]
set M [measure fit $sel2 $sel1]
$sel2 move $M
#this will align through rigid body motion the two molecules
#Then you need to loop over the CAs in the ionised (system you want to
simulate ) structure and move them each of them to the corresponding CA of
the reference structure. This syntax may not be exactly right. I've assumed
the previous selection is CAs only
set reslist1 [ $sel1 get residue]
set reslist2 [$sel2 get residue]
set listlength [llength $reslist2]
for {set i 0} {$i < $listlength} {incr i} {
set curres1 [lindex $reslist1 $I ]
set curres2 [lindex $reslist2 $i]
set tempsel1 [atomselect 0 "CA and residue $curres1]
set tempsel2 [atomselect 1 "CA and residue $curres2]
set xcoors [$curres2 get x]
set ycoors [$curres2 get y]
set zcoors [$curres2 get z]
$curres1 moveto [$xcoors, $ycoors, $zcoors]
}
$selall writepdb atoms.pdb #this is your reference positions file
#this will move all CAs onto the reference structure. If you open the file
it will look weird and scary but so long as you tell colvars to look at the
beta column the simulation will do what you want. There may be syntax
errors. Let me know if this doesn't work.
Good luck!
