Definition
The simple base pair opening for the A:B base pair. This is an earlier implementation providing only opening, full set of simple base pair parameters is availble via CV:NASBPP.
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: NASBO
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 | |
skip_mass_test | logical | .false. | if .true. it does not control atom masses between the system and loaded reference structures |
Keys in bold are mandatory.
