Top Holding atoms in place ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [SYNTAX CONS HARMonic] Syntax: CONS HARMonic {[ABSOlute] absolute-specs force-const-spec coordinate-spec } { BESTfit bestfit-specs force-const-spec coordinate-spec } { RELAtive bestfit-specs force-const-spec 2nd-atom-selection} { CLEAr } force-const-spec ::= { FORCE real } atom-selection [MASS] { WEIGhting } absolute-specs ::= [EXPOnent int] [XSCAle real] [YSCAle real] [ZSCAle real] bestfit-specs ::= [ NOROtation ] [ NOTRanslation ] coordinate-spec::= { [MAIN] } { COMP } { KEEP } The potential energy has a harmonic restraint term which allows one to prevent large motions of individual atoms. There are three forms for this restraint, ABSOLUTE, BESTFIT, and RELATIVE. It is possible to combine multiple restraints in one energy calculation, but no atom may participate in more than one harmonic restraint set. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ABSOLUTE positional restraints. Absolute positional restraints specify a location a cartesian space where an atom must remain proximal. This is the original positional restraint in CHARMM. The form for this potential is as follows for coordinates: EC = sum over selected atoms of k(i)* [mass(i)] * (x(i)-refx(i))**exponent where refx is a reference set of coordinates. If MASS is specified in the command line, then k is multiplied by the mass of the atom resulting in a natural frequency of oscillation for the restraint of sqrt(k) in AKMA units. An atom restrained with MASS FORCE 1.0 will oscillate at 8 cycles/picosecond if free of other interactions. For most operations involving harmonic restraints, mass weighting is recommended. There are three reasons for this. First, the results obtained will be similar regardless of what atom representation is used (extended vs. explicit) for hydrogen atoms. Second, Hydrogen atoms are allowed greater relative freedom if present. And third, The character of the normal modes of a molecule are unperturbed with mass weighting (essential if normal modes or low frequency motions are of interest). Note, there is no longer a prefactor of 0.5 on the force constant specification. This is appropriate in that exponent values other than "2" are allowed. This differs from the earlier versions of The restraint force constant can be set to any positive value (specified by the FORCE keyword followed by the desired value). The force constants may also be obtained from the weight array, in which case the FORCe keyword is not read. When using this option, a negative values may be used for some atoms, however, the total weight must be positive. The reference coordinates can be the current set at the point when restraints are specified (the default) or a set can be the comparison set (COMP keyword). When multiple CONS HARM commands are used, the KEEP option preserves the reference coordinates from the previous restraints. This is useful in cases where the force constant is to be modified, but no other changes are desired. The variables XSCAle, YSCAle, and ZSCAle are global scale factors for ABSOLUTE harmonic restraint terms. The default scale factor is 1.0 for all terms. If multiple harmonic restraint sets are used, they may have different scale factors. The RELATIVE and BESTFIT types do not allow a scale factor at present. Example: CONS HARM FORCE 1.0 MASS SELE atom * * CA END COMP This command harmonically restrains all alpha-carbons to the current positions in the comparison coordinates with a force constant of 24 Kcals/mol/A**2 (assuming a mass of 12). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BESTFIT positional restraints This restraint is similar to the absolute restraints except that the reference coordinates are (implicitly) rotated and translated so as to bestfit the selected atoms. This best fit is done in a manner that minimizes the restraint energy. Due to the nature of the best fit, this restraint term does not add any net force or torque to the system. Note 1: An exponent may not be specified (it is set to 2) Note 2: Global scale factors do not apply Note 3: At present, there is no Hessian code for this restrain Note 4: There is no energy partition (ANAL command) for this restraint Example: CONS HARM BESTFIT MASS FORCE 1.0 COMP SELE SEGID A END CONS HARM BESTFIT MASS FORCE 1.0 COMP SELE SEGID B END These commands will restrain segments A and B to the geometries they have in the current comparison coordinates. This restraint will not add a net force or torque to the system (unlike the ABSOLUTE restraint type). Segments A and B can move (rotate/translate) independently with no change in the restraint energy. See also CONS RMSD below. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RELATIVE positional restraints. The relative positional restraints are similar to the bestfit restraint except there is no reference coordinates. In this case, one part of the system is restrained to have the same shape as another part of the system. The two restraint sets are implicitly bestfit by an optimal rotation/translation (minimizing the restraint energy). Both sets of atoms Note 1: An exponent may not be specified (it is set to 2) Note 2: Global scale factors do not apply Note 3: At present, there is no Hessian code for this restrain Note 4: There is no energy partition (ANAL command) for this restraint Note 5: The atoms of the two sets are matched on-to-one in sequential order. Note 6: If the two sets do not have the same number of atoms, an error will be issued and the set lists will be truncated. Note 7: Both sets must be specified and must not use set number 1. Example: CONS HARM RELATIVE WEIGHT SELE segid a1 END SELE segid a2 END NOROT NOTRAN This command will force two replicas (A1 and A2) to have the same coordinates based on the values in the weighting array (as best fit weights). Example: CONS HARM RELATIVE MASS FORCE 10.0 SELE SEGID A END SELE SEGID B END This command will force two segments (A and B) to have the same shape, but they may have very different locations and orientations. Atoms are matched one-to-one by selected atom number. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ GENERAL INFORMATION It is important to understand some aspects of how the restraints are set in order to get the most flexibility out of this command. When CHARMM is loaded, each atom has associated with it a harmonic force constant initially set to zero. Each call to the CONS HARM command changes the value of this constant for only those atoms specified. When this command is invoked with an atom selection (and KEPP is not specified), only the reference coordinates (XREF,YREF,ZREF) for selected atoms are modified. IMPORTANT NOTE: Each atom may participate in AT MOST one harmonic restraint term. This is a coding limitation designed to maximize compatibility with older series of force constants). This could be easily modified with a bit of work to increase the capability (at the expense of script compatibility). When multiple restraint sets are used, it is important to note that all selections should be exclusive. When they are not exclusive, then atoms will be assigned to the restraint of the most recent CONS HARM command which selected that atom. In other words, the restraint set number is an atomic property. If restraint sets are broken up, then an error message will be issued. If an entire set is replaced, then the new restraint replaces the old one (without a warning message). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OTHER COMMANDS: The harmonic restraints may no longer be read and written to files. The PRINT command still functions for harmonic restraints for information. To examine or modify the internal harmonic restrain data, the SCALar command (arrays: CONStraints,XREF,YREF, and ZREF) may be used (see scalar ). In addition, one may look at the contributions to the energy in detail using the ANALysis command, see anal . -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Top Holding dihedrals near selected values Using this form of the CONS command, one may put restraints on the dihedral angles formed by sets of any four atoms. The improper torsion potential is used to maintain said angles. The command for setting the dihedral restraints is as follows: Syntax: [SYNTAX CONS DIHEdral] CONS DIHEdral [BYNUM int int int int] [FORCe real] [MIN real] [PERIod int] [ atom-selection ] [ COMP ] [WIDTh real] [ 4X(atom-spec) ] [ MAIN ] CONS CLDH Syntactic ordering: DIHE or CLDH must follow CONS, and FORCE, MIN and PERIod must follow DIHE. where: atom-spec ::= { segid resid iupac } { resnumber iupac } DIHEdral adds a torsion angle to the list of restrained angles using the specified atoms, force constant, minimum and periodicity. If an atom selection is used, then the first 4 selected atoms (in order) will define the dihedral angle. If either MAIN or COMP is specified and [MIN real] is not, then the minimum angle value will be determined by the current dihedral angle value in the corresponding coordinate set. WIDTh is specified in degrees. If the PERIodicity is zero (improper type), then the force constant has units of kcal/mol/radian/radian, else it has units of kcal/mol. Ecdih = FORCE * max(0, abs( phi - MIN*pi/180) - WIDTH)**2 [ PERIod = 0 ] Ecdih = FORCE * (1-cos( PERIod* (phi - MIN*pi/180 )) ) [ PERIod > 0 ] CLDH clears the list of restrained dihedrals so that different angles or new restraint parameters can be specified. Other commands: The PRINT CONS command, see print print, will work for restraints. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Top Holding puckering coordinates near selected values Using this form of the CONS command, one may put restraints on the puckering coordinates formed by sets of any six atoms. Harmonic potential is used to for the restraint. The command for setting the puckering restraints is as follows: Syntax: [SYNTAX CONS PUCKering] CONS PUCKering 6-atom-spec restraint-spec [output-spec] 6-atom-spec::= { [ BYNUM 6x(int) ] } { [ atom-selection ]} { [ 6X(atom-spec) ] } restraint-spec::= [ KCONst 3x(real) ] [ VALUe 3x(real) ] [ EXPOnent 3x(real) ] output-spec:== [OUTUnit integer] [PKFRQ integer] CONS CLPC Syntactic ordering: * PUCK or CLPC must directly follow CONS (must be the next word), * atom selection or spec must directly follow PUCK (must next information after PUCK), * KCONst, VALUe and EXPOnent must follow selection or spec of atoms Arguments and options: ---------------------- Keyword Default Purpose BYNYM none Specify 6 atoms as numbered in the psf for the pucker as 6 integers atom-selection none Use atom selection to select 6 atoms 6X(atom-spec) none Use atom-specs six times to specify atoms KCONst 0.0 0.0 0.0 Force constants for restraints on Q, theta, phi VALUe 0.0 0.0 0.0 Potential minimum location for restraints on Q, theta, phi EXPOnent 0.0 0.0 0.0 Exponents on harmonic potential for Q, theta, phi Output: ------- During dynamics only, the output of the value of Q, theta, and phi for each restraint applied are written to the output unit at the specified frequency (PKFRQ) in the following ascii format step-number Q1 theta1 phi1 Q2 theta2 phi2 ...

The puckering coordinates are given by Q, theta, and phi as defined by Cremer & Pople, see: D. Cremer and J. A. Pople, JACS 97:6, page 1354, 1975. NCSU variable is set that is equal to the total number of puckering restraints. The restraining potential energy is given by Epuck = EQ + Etheta + Ephi where EQ, Etheta, and Ephi are potentials given by EQ = KCON(1)*(Q - VALU(1))**EXPO(1) Etheta = KCON(2)*(theta - VALU(2))**EXPO(2) Ephi = KCON(3)*(phi - VALU(3))**EXPO(3) CLPC clears the list of restrained puckering coordinates. Other commands: -------------- The PRINT CONS command, see print print, will work for restraints. QUICK command can be used to calculate the puckering coordinates, see print CORREL command has an ENTER option to calculat pucker Examples: --------- 1) Specifying atoms by the atom-spec method, specifies a quadratic harmonic potential on Q, theta, and phi centered on 0.6, 0.2, and 3.3, respectively, and with force constants all 10 kcal/mol/Angstrom**2.

Top Holding Internal Coordinates near selected values [SYNTAX CONS IC] Syntax: CONStraint IC [BOND real [EXPOnent integer] [UPPEr]] [ANGLe real] [DIHEdral real] [IMPRoper real] Using this form of the CONS command, one may put restraints on any internal coordinate. For this energy term, the IC table is used. At each energy call, the reference (zero-force) value of each IC is set to the value currently in the IC table. All nonzero bond entries are restrained with the bond constant, using the optional EXPOnent (default 2) in the potential K*(S-S0)**EXPOnent. Second derivatives are currently supported only with EXPOnent=2. The angle, dihedral, and improper terms are only harmonic. The DIHEdral term only applies to IC's of normal type, and the IMPRoper term only applies to the improper IC type (those with a "*") If UPPEr is specified the reference bond length is taken as an upper limit and the restraint potential is applied only if S>S0; this is intended for use with distance restraints from NMR NOE data. All nonzero angle entries are restrained with the angle constant. All dihedrals are restrained with the dihedral constant using the improper dihedral energy potential. If any IC entry contains an undefined atom (zeroes), then the associated bonds,angles, and dihedral will not be restrained. The force constant has units of kcal/mol/radian/radian for both angle and dihedral restraints. The bond force constant has units of kcal/mol/angstrom**EXPOnent. This restraint term is very flexible in that the user may chose which bonds... to restrain by editing an IC table. The major drawback is that all bonds must have the same force constant. The same is true for angles and dihedrals. By listing some IC's several times, the effective force constant is increased. Also, if only angle restraints are desired, then the bond and dihedral constants can be set to zero eliminating their contribution.
Top The Quartic Droplet Potential [SYNTAX CONS DROPlet] Syntax: CONStraint DROPlet [FORCe real] [EXPOnent integer] [NOMAss] This restraint term is designed to put the entire molecule in a cage. Is is based on the center of mass (or center of geometry if NOMAss is specified) so that no net force or torque is introduced by this restraint term. The potential function is; Edroplet= FORC* sum over atoms (( r-rcm )**EXPO )*mass(i)) File:Cons, Node: Fixed Atom, Up:Top, Next: Center of Mass, Previous: Quartic Droplet How to fix atoms rigidly in place [SYNTAX CONS FIX] Syntax: CONS FIX atom-selection-spec { [PURG] } { [BOND] [THET] [PHI] [IMPH] } This command will fix all selected atoms and unfix all non-selected atoms. For example, the command; CONS FIX SELE NONE END will remove all fixing of atoms (except for lonepairs). This command fixes atoms in place by setting flags in an array (IMOVE) which tells the minimization and dynamics alogrithms which atoms are free to move. If atoms are fixed, it is possible to save computer time by not calculating energy terms which involve only fixed atoms. The nonbond and hydrogen bond algorithms in CHARMM check IMOVE and delete pairs of atoms that are fixed in place from the nbond and hbond lists respectively. In addition the PURG or individual energy term options specified with the CONS FIX command allow all or some of the internal coordinate energies associated with fixed atoms to be deleted. Interactions between fixed and moving atoms are maintained. *** NOTE *** because some energy terms are deleted from fixed systems, the total energy calculated with fixed atoms will be different from the total energy of the same system with all atoms free. The forces on the moveable atoms will however be identical. The purpose of this feature is to remove the computational cost of energy terms that do not change for simulations where a large fraction of the atoms are fixed. It is not recommended for any other purpose. The way CHARMM keeps track of fixed atoms is by the IMOVE array in the PSF. The IMOVE array is 0 if the atom is free to move, and has the value 1 if it is fixed. A value of -1 indicates that this atom is a lonepair. ***** WARNING ***** The purge options modify the PSF. The effects of this command cannot be undone by the subsequent releasing of atoms. ***** WARNING ***** The fixing of atoms does not work for constant pressure simulations. File:Cons, Node: Center of Mass, Up:Top, Next: SHAKE, Previous: Fixed Atom Constrain centers of mass for selected atoms [SYNTAX CONS HMCM] Syntax: CONS HMCM FORCe real RDISt real [WEIGhting or MASS] reference-spec atom-selection where: reference-spec ::= [REFX real] [REFY real] [REFZ real] at least one must be specified. This command will harmonically restrain centers of mass from the selected atoms to the absolute reference point specified with REFX, REFY and REFZ, or to a line specifying REFX, REFY or REFZ, or to a plane specifying any two of REFX, REFY, and REFZ. The force constant of the harmonic potential is set with the FORCe keyword. A reference distance can be given with RDISt (default: ZERO). Mass weighting is switched off by default but can be selected by using the WEIG key. The primary use of this command is during the reconstruction of all-atom representations from low resolution models with virtual particles at side chain centers. Example 1: CONS HMCM FORCE 50.0 WEIG REFX 10.4 REFY 12.1 REFZ 1.3 - SELECT RESID 21 .AND. .NOT. - ( TYPE H* .OR. TYPE N .OR. TYPE C .OR. TYPE O ) - END This will create a harmonic restraint with a force constant of 50 kcal/mol that holds the side chain center of mass at residue 21 of a protein near (10.4, 12.1, 1.3). Example 2: cons hmcm force 100.0 mass refx 10.0 - select segid ligand end This will create a harmonic restraint with a force constant of 100 kcal/mol that keeps the center of mass of segment "ligand" on a line with x value 10.0 but no restraints on the y or z values.
Top Fixing bond lengths or angles during dynamics. SHAKE is a method of fixing bond lengths and, optionally, bond angles during dynamics, minimization (not ABNR and Newton-Raphson methods), coordinate modification (COOR SHAKe command), and vibrational analysis (explore command). The method was brought to CHARMM by Wilfred Van Gunsteren (WFVG), and is referenced in J. Comp. Phys. 23:327 (1977). When hydrogens are present in a structure, it will allow a two-fold increase in the dynamics step size if SHAKE is used on the bonds. To use SHAKE, one specifies the SHAKE command before any SHAKE constraints usage. The SHAKE command has the following syntax: [SYNTAX SHAKe constraints] SHAKE { OFF } { shake-opt fast-opt 2x(atom-selection) [NOREset] } shake-opt:== [BONH] { [MAIN] } [TOL real] [MXITer integer] [BOND] { COMP } [ANGH] { PARAmeters } [SHKScale real] [ANGL] fast-opt:== { [ FAST [ WATEr water-resn ] ] } { NOFAst } BONH specifies that all bonds involving hydrogens are to be fixed. BOND specifies all bonds. ANGH specifies that all angles involving hydrogen must be fixed. ANGL specifies that all angles must be shaken. BOND is implied if any angles are fixed, otherwise, only the 1-3 distances would be fixed. Coordinates must be read in before the SHAKE command is issued, unless the PARAmeter option is specified. SHAKE constraints are applied only for atom pairs where one atom is in the first atom selection and one atom in the second atom selection. The default atom selection is ALL for both sets. TOL specifies the allowed relative deviations from the reference values (default: 10**-10). MXITer is the maximum number of iterations SHAKE tries before giving up (default: 500). When the SHAKE command is used, it will check that there are degrees of freedom available for all atoms to satisfy all their constraints. Angles cannot be fixed with SHAKE if one has explicit hydrogen arginines in the structure as the CZ carbon has too many constraints. This is a general problem for any structure which has too many branches close together. SHAKE is not recommended for fixing angles. The algorithm converges very slowly in the case where one has three angles centered on a tetravalent atom and the constraints are satisfiable only using out of plane motions. The use of SHAKE modifies the output of the dynamics command. The number appearing to the right of the step number is the number of iterations SHAKE required to satisfy all the constraints. This number should generally be small. When ST2's are present, SHAKE constraints are automatically applied for the O-H bonds and H-O-H angles. There is a PARAmeter option for the SHAKe command. This option causes the shake bond distances to be found from the parameter table rather than from the current set of coordinates. This option is NOT compatible with the use on angle SHAKE constraints, and it will give an error if this is tried. With these commands, the bond energy may be zeroed without any minimization with the command sequence; SHAKE BOND PARA COOR SHAKE [MASS] [SYNTAX SHAKe FAST constraints] SHAKe FAST [WATEr water-resn] [OLDWatershake] [ MXITer <iterations> TOL <tolerance> ] [PARAmeter] [COMP] This command specifies the use of the new vector/parallel and analagous scalar fast SHAKE constraint routines (implemented Aug 2000). Certain assumptions are made when this command is issued: The only bonds involved are between heavy atoms and hydrogens, except for water molecules specified by the WATEr water-resn sub-command. This selection is used to indicate the water molecules that have an H-H bond. It is assumed that the selection will include all atoms in the water molecule and that said molecule contains exactly two X-H bonds and one H-H bond where X is any heavy atom. Testing for "hydrogen-ness" is done via the CHARMM hydrog() function which makes it's choice based on atomic mass. By default, water molecules selected with the WATEr sub-command will be constrained via the use of a special water-SHAKE routine which uses the direct inversion method. This algorithm is from 25 to 30 % faster than the normal iterative, scalar SHAKE routine. For the rest of the heavy atom -hydrogen bonds, a vector/parallel version of the original SHAKE routine is used. This is about 5X the scalar SHAKE. If the optional keyword OLDWatershake is used, the vector/parallel (not the watershake) routines are used. The rest of the keywords are the same as in the original SHAKE command. Note: that FAST has to be the second word in command line.
Top [SYNTAX NOE constraints] NOE Invoke the module RESEt Reset all NOE restraint lists. This command clears all existing NOE restraints. Resets scale factor to 1.0 PNOE Turn on the restraint between a given atom specified by ASSIgn and a point specified by CNOX, CNOY and CNOZ intead of a restraint between two atoms. The use of this restraint is desirable for docking, and loop refinements. CAVE: PNOE itself is NOT a command -- the PNOE feature is invoked implicitely by the presence of the CNOX, CNOY, CNOZ point specification.

Where multiple atoms are selected, R = [ average( Rij**(1/REXP) ) ]**REXP where (i) runs over the first atom selection and (j) runs over the second atom selection. The default REXP value is 1.0 (a simple average). An REXP value of 3.0 may be optimal for NOE averaging. If SUMR keyword is present, R is computed as following, R = [ Sum_ij ( Rij**(1/REXP) ) ]**REXP In this case, REXP=-1/6 might be typically used. If the key work MINDIST is specified, then the NOE constraint will be active only between the pair of atoms from the two selected set of atoms that happend to be the nearest at all time during the dynamics (useful to resolve ambiguous distance restraints). / 0.5*KMIN*(RAVE-RMIN)**2 R<RMIN / / 0.0 RMIN<R<RMAX E(R)= \ 0.5*KMAX*(RAVE-RMAX)**2 RMAX<RAVE<RLIM \ \ FMAX*(RAVE-(RLIM+RMAX)/2) RAVE>RLIM If RSWItch is specified, a soft-square NOE potential will be used, where the square-well function is used for distances within a specified "switching" region (specified by the RSWItch keyword), whereas outside this region a "soft" asymptote is used: / 0.5*KMIN*(RAVE-RMIN)**2 R<=RMIN E(NOE)= 0.0 RMIN<R< RMAX \ 0.5*KMAX*(RAVE-RMAX)**2 RMAX<R<=RMAX+RSWITCH \ A+B/(RAVE-RMAX)**SEXP+FMAX*(RAVE-RMAX) R> RMAX+RSWITCH where, A,B are determined such that both E and force are continuous. FMAX defines the final asymptote slope (default 1.0) RSWI defines the switching start point (default 1.0) SEXP exponent of the soft asymptote (default 1.0) and RAVE=R TCON=0 RAVE=RRAVE**(-1/3) TCON>0 RRAVE=RRAVE*(1-DELTA/TCON)+R**(-3)*DELTA/TCON for initial conditions, RRAVE=RMAX**(-3) DELTA is the integration time step.

PRINT [ANAL [CUT real]] Same as the WRITe command except to the output file and slightly more user friendly form. A positive CUT value will list only those that have a distance that exceeds RMAX by more than DCUT. SCALe [real] Set the scale factor for the NOE energy and forces.

Partial charges are then taken from the PSF and used to calculate the force. If WEIGht is specified the forces are multiplied by the wmain array. The invocation of a non-zero SWITch value will result in a linearly time-varying force. This command must be used in conjunction with a dynamics routine (using leap-frog integrator). The force is switched linearly between SFORce <pN> (starting force) and FORCe <pN> (end force) over the course of the simulation. TORQue <pN/A> either uses the axis defined by a prior COOR AXIS command (or any COOR command which sets the corman axis) or an axis has to be specified with the *DIR and *ORI keywords. Torque code fromi J Wereszczynski & I Andricioae: PNAS (2006)103:16200 Each invocation of this command adds a set of forces to the previously defined set. PULL OFF turns off all these forces. PULL LIST produces a listing. NB! Forces defined by PULL will move atoms in the specified direction, which is opposite to that listed by the forces from the COOR FORCE command.
Top The RMSD restraint is useful to manipulate and control macromolecular conformations. The restraint is related to the CONS HARM BestFit, which sets up harmonic restraints with respect of a reference structure. However, because all the reference data structure is stored in XREF, YREF, ZREF, this command allows only a single bestfit restraint. In addition, it allows only a restraint to zero value of RMSD. It is useful to allow multiple such bestfit RMSD restraint to progress from one conformation to a second conformation of a molecular system. The new command CONS RMSD allows such multiple bestfit restraint. In fact, that is principally the advantage over the BESTfit method (only the data structure is changed, the energy subroutines themselves are the same). The method can also be used to performed targetted trajectories. The form of the new restraint energy is: E = Sum_i KFORCE_i * [RMSD - OFFSET_i]**2 Where RMSD is the (possibly mass-weighted) root-mean-square-deviation (RMSD) of the current coordinates with respect to a reference structure, KFORCE_i is a force constant, and OFFSET_i is a constant value setting a relative distance with respect to the RMSD of the structure. The restraint energy is equivalent the normal BestFit energy. The forces have been checked with the TEST FIRST command. All the data structure is stored dynamically on the HEAP and thus, no extra permanent (static) storage is introduced. The size of initial HEAP storage is set by the MAXRmsd integer the first time that the command is issued (by default this is set to the number of atoms if nothing is specified). By specifying the RELATIVE keyword, it is possible to impose a 1-D constraint to simultaneously constrain a given structure with respect to two end-point structures. This is achieved by constraining the difference (RMSD2 - RMSD1) instead of just the RMSD1 or RMSD2 values individually, where RMSD1 and RMSD2 are the RMSD values of given structure from endpoint structure 1 and 2 respectively. This allow full freedom of movements orthogonal to the relative axis. For the relative RMSD constraint, the form of the new restraint energy is: E = Sum_i KFORCE_i * [(RMSD2-RMSD1) - OFFSET_i]**2 Additionally to the RMSD RELAtive option, a HPLAne keyword can be specified, which switch to the formula: E_hp = Sum_i KFORCE_i * [(RMSD2**2-RMSD1**2) - OFFSET_i]**2 and creates a constraints within hyperplanes rather than hyper-hyperbolas. As a consequence iso-potential surfaces are equidistant and should not introduce a bias towards conformations away from the ref1 - ref2 axis. Note that this formula looks quartic, but is in fact quadratic due to elimination of quadratic terms in the inner parenthesis. The NORM keyword divides RMSD1, RMSD2 and OFFSET by 2.dist(Ref1-Ref2)=2.R_1,2 so that E_hp is effectively: E_hp = Sum_i KFORCE_i * [ (R-R_m).N - OFFSET_i/(2.R_1,2)]**2 where R is the current position, R_m=(Ref2+Ref1)/2 is the midpoint between Ref1 and Ref2, and N=(Ref2-Ref1)/|Ref2-Ref1|, the normalized vector between Ref1 and Ref2. The syntax is very similar to all current restraints in CHARMM: CONS RMSD { RELAtive [HPLAne [NORM]] } {MAXN integer} {NPRT} orient-specs - force-const-spec coordinate-spec atom-selection CONS RMSD SHOW CONS RMSD CLEAR orient-specs ::= [ NOROtation ] [ NOTRanslation ] force-const-spec ::= { FORCE real } [MASS] {OFFSet real} { BOFFset real} coordinate-spec::= { [MAIN] } { COMP } CONS CLEAR removes all multiple RMSD restraints CONS RMSD SHOW prints all current RMSD restraints with all parameters. The specific terms are: RELAtive - Employ relative RMSD restraint using two reference structures as defined above HPLAne - With RELAtive, use hyperplane formula (see above). NORM - With RELAtive HPLAne normalize the formula (see above). NPRT - This suppresses the printout of the RMSD to URMSD unit in a dynamics simulation. The default is to print all RMSD. MAXN - Maximum number of RMSD restraints (replaces MAXRMSD used in previous versions) default setting = 10 COMP - Use comparison cordinate set as reference (default uses main). FORCE <real> - Force constant for RMSD term in kcal/mol/A^2 OFFSet <real> - RMSD value in A^ at which the structure is restrained BOFFset <real> - This offset only applies the harmonic RMSD restraint, when RMSD is above BOFFset. This is useful in specifying a flat-bottom RMSD potential around the reference structure. If a negative value is used, this uses the restraint only if the RMSD is below |BOFFset|, This is useful for applying a purely repulsive RMSD restraint. IMPORTANT NOTES: 1. The MAXRMSD variable specifying total number of restrained atoms used before has been replaced by the variable MAXN specifying the number of RMSD restraints. This allows dynamic allocation of memory for storing reference structures during atom selection for the RMSD restraint, which reduces memory usage significantly 2. The c32 release contained additions including the ZETA potential and the ability to fit one set of atoms using RMSD and apply the forces to another set of atoms. These are not included in the present version due to their inability to pass TEST FIRST 3. RMSD restraints can be used with DYNAmics command. DYNAmics ... [ RMSD URMSD integer ] This will cause the RMSD values for each of the RMSD restraints to be written to the unit specified by URMSD, unless the NPRT option is pecified when the RMSD restraint is defined. -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Top The EMAP restraint is useful to maintain a selection of atom to given shapes. The restraint is related to the EMAP functions that use map objects for energy calculation and simulation. A restraint map is either generated from a selection of atoms, or an existing map object defined with EMAP, or readin from an external file. An EMAP restraint is non-invasive or non-restricted and permit restrained atoms to be far away from their restrained positions. Therefore, EMAP restraints can be used to bias certain conformations or to induce a simulation system to change to desired conformations, which we term as "targeted conformational search" (see reference: Wu, X., Subramaniam, S., Case, D.A., Wu, K. W., Brooks, B.R., "Targeted conformational search with map-restrained self-guided Langevin dynamics: application to flexible fitting into electron microscopic density maps", J Struct. Biol., 183, 429-440 (2013)). The form of the EMAP restraint energy is: E = KEMAP * Sum_i [AMASS_i * MAP_Norm_at_i] Where KEMAP is the restraint constant, kcal/g, AMASS_i is atomic mass of atom i, g/mol. MAP_Norm_i is the normalized vaule of the restraint map at atom i, which is interpolated with b-spline. The atom-selection defines the atoms to be restrained. The map definition defines the restraint map. The map can be either generated from the coordinates of the selected atoms, either in the main or the comparison set, or using existing map objects, or read in from a map file. The restraint map object is fixed in space by default. A keyword, MOVE, will make the restraint map movable during simulation. The syntax is : CONS EMAP FORCe real {atom-selection map-definition [MOVE]} CONS EMAP SHOW CONS EMAP [RESEt|CLEAR] map-definition ::= {MAPId string } {FILEname string } {[DX real][DY real][DZ real][RESO real][COMP]} CONS EMAP CLEAR removes all EMAP restraints defined with CONS EMAP CONS EMAP SHOW prints all current EMAP restraints with all parameters, including those defined with EMAP CONS (See emap.doc). The specific terms are: FORCE <real> - Force constant for EMAP restraint in kcal/g DX,DY,DZ <real> - grid size of generated map in x, y, and z directions, Default: 3 angstroms. RESOlution <real> - Resolution of the generated map. Default: 3 angstroms. RIGId <string> Rigid ID define with EMAP commands. Using MAPId <string> MAP ID define with EMAP commands. Using a map object FILEname <string> A map filename in either .map, .ccp4, or .mrc format.

Top [SYNTAX CONS PATH] Syntax: CONS PATH spline-pts [COMP] [TEST unit] FORCe real TZERo real atom-selection : : : FORCe real TZERo real atom-selection CONS PATH CLEAR CONS PATH POST where: spline-pts ::= { SPLUnit unit } { SPLIne atom-selection } This command will harmonically restrain the projections of centers of mass onto an arbitrary three-dimensional path. The path is specified with cubic splines. Essentially, this is achieved by first projecting each center of mass (COM) onto a cubic spline interpolated path to establish an initial projection position (TINI). Then a restraint is applied to the COM with respect to its TINI. For N spline points, 1.0 <= TINI <= N where, for example, if TINI = 3.48 then the COM is projected onto the spline piece between spline point 3 and spline point 4 while the digits to the right of the decimal place corresponds to the cubic spline parameter that gives the X, Y, Z coordinates that lie on spline piece 3. The initial reference coordinates (used for determining TINI) can be the current set (default) or a comparison set (COMP keyword). The spline-pts are selected either from an atom selection if SPLIne is given or read from a previously opened unit given with the SPLUnit keyword. By default, the spline-pts are taken from the main set. If the COMP key is specified in the absence of the SPLUnit keyword then the spline-pts are taken from the COMP set. However, if both the COMP and SPLUnit keys are used then the spline-pts are taken from the coordinates that are read from the external file. Thus, it is possible to define the initial coordinates separately from the spline points by using the COMP key along with SPLUnit. The reference point (relative to TINI) is specified by TZERo and is recommended to have a value that is near TINI (usually, within 1.0 of TINI). A negative TZERo value specifies a reference point to the "left" of TINI while a positive TZERo value speficies a reference point to the "right" of TINI. The restraint force constant can be set to any positive value (specified by the FORCE keyword followed by the desired value). Multiple centers of mass can be defined for a given path by repeating the FORCe, TZERo, and atom-selection. The functional form of the restraint potential is: 2 U(T) = FORCE * [ (T - TINI) - TZERO ] where T is the instantaneous projection onto the spline of a given center of mass. The spline interpolation (derived from user defined spline points) and COM projections can be visualized by specifying the TEST key followed immediately by a user defined output unit. The output data structure is shown in Example 4 below. Using CONS PATH POST will output infornation to OUTU. This is convenient when used in conjunction with analyzeCHARMM.pl (MMTSB Toolset). The output takes on the form: PATH = 1 COM = 1 TINIT = 1.36523799 TZERO = -0.10000000 ABSTZERO = 1.26523799 TPRIME = 1.26773721 Each COM is written while specifying which path the COM corresponds with, the COM number, the initial T-value from the first simulation window, the relative TZERO (relative to the initial T-value), the absolute TZERO, and TPRIME (the COM projection onto the path). The primary use of this command is to restrain the movement of a specific center of mass parallel to a user defined path. For instance, DNA can be restrained to translocate along its phosphate backbone while resembling a screwing motion. Example 1: CONS PATH SPLINE SELECT TYPE P .AND. SEGID N01F END - FORCE 5 TZERO 0.35 SELECT SEGID N01F .AND. RESID 18 END - FORCE 5 TZERO 0.35 SELECT SEGID N01F .AND. RESID 19 END - FORCE 5 TZERO 0.35 SELECT SEGID N01F .AND. RESID 20 END This will use the phosphorous atoms to generate a cubic spline. Then it will create a harmonic restraint with a force constant of 5 kcal/mol that holds the centers of mass at residues 18, 19, and 20 to its corresponding TINI+0.35 position. Example 2: CONS PATH COMP SPLINE SELECT TYPE P .AND. SEGID N01F END - FORCE 2 TZERO 0.27 SELECT SEGID N01E .AND. RESID 5 END - FORCE 2 TZERO 0.27 SELECT SEGID N01E .AND. RESID 6 END - FORCE 2 TZERO 0.27 SELECT SEGID N01E .AND. RESID 7 END This will use the phosphorous atoms to generate a cubic spline. Then it will create a harmonic restraint with a force constant of 2 kcal/mol that holds the centers of mass at residues 5, 6, and 7 to its corresponding TINI+0.27 position. However, TINI is determined from the comparison set and not the default main set. Note that COM at residues 5-7 from segid N01E are restrained with respect to the phosphorus atoms of segid N01F (and not segid N01E). Example 3: OPEN UNIT 77 READ FORM NAME "SPLINE.PTS" CONS PATH COMP SPLUNIT 77 - FORCE 10 TZERO -0.5 SELECT SEGID N01E .AND. RESID 8 END - FORCE 10 TZERO -0.5 SELECT SEGID N01E .AND. RESID 9 END - FORCE 10 TZERO -0.5 SELECT SEGID N01E .AND. RESID 10 END This will use the coordinates contained in the file "SPLINE.PTS" (and not from the comparison set) to generate a cubic spline. The name of the file containing the spline points is irrelevant but the format must be arranged as follows: -48.847 75.201 8.114 -68.551 73.231 9.000 -55.690 77.369 8.591 48.049 74.225 10.388 Then it will create a harmonic restraint with a force constant of 10 kcal/mol that holds the centers of mass at residues 8, 9, and 10 to its corresponding TINI+(-0.5) position. However, TINI is determined from the comparison set and not the default main set. Example 4: OPEN UNIT 88 WRITE FORM NAME "VISUALIZE.PDB" CONS PATH TEST 88 SPLINE SELECT TYPE P .AND. SEGID N01F END - FORCE 1 TZERO -0.19 SELECT SEGID N01F .AND. RESID 14 END - FORCE 1 TZERO -0.19 SELECT SEGID N01F .AND. RESID 12 END - FORCE 1 TZERO -0.19 SELECT SEGID N01F .AND. RESID 13 END This will use the phosphorous atoms to generate a cubic spline. Then it will create a harmonic restraint with a force constant of 1.0 kcal/mol that holds the centers of mass at residues 14, 12, and 13 to its corresponding TINI+(-0.19) position.
