Definition

The simple base pair parameters for the A:B base pair fully compatible with the 3DNA definition.

IMPORTANT: It is critical that the A and B bases are not separated during simulation due to imaging of DNA chains into the simulation box. Use ether topjoinmol from CATs to merge both chains into a single molecule or use the correct value of iwrap in sander or pmemd.

Specification

Section name: NASBPP

Key	Type	Default	Description
name	string		unique CV name
group_a	mask		atoms for the base A ring
reference_a	string		name of the file with the reference structure in the XYZ format, the structure must have the same number of atoms as the group group_a
group_b	mask		atoms for the base B ring
reference_b	string		name of the file with the reference structure in the XYZ format, the structure must have the same number of atoms as the group group_b
group_c	mask		atom defining origin of y-axis
group_d	mask		atom defining end of y-axis
parameter	string		type of parameter (one of): shear, stretch, stagger, buckle, propeller, opening
skip_mass_test	logical	.false.	if .true. it does not control atom masses between the system and loaded reference structures
