class BioSimSpace.Protocol.Steering(collective_variable, schedule, restraints, verse='both', timestep=2.0000 fs, runtime=1.0000 ns, temperature=300.0000 K, pressure=1.0000 atm, report_interval=1000, restart_interval=1000, colvar_file=None)

A class for storing steered molecular dynamics protocols.

__init__(collective_variable, schedule, restraints, verse='both', timestep=2.0000 fs, runtime=1.0000 ns, temperature=300.0000 K, pressure=1.0000 atm, report_interval=1000, restart_interval=1000, colvar_file=None)

Constructor.

Parameters
  • collective_variable (CollectiveVariable, [CollectiveVariable]) – The collective variable (or variables) used to perform the steering.

  • schedule ([Time]) – The time schedule for the steering.

  • restraints ([Restraint] [(Restraint)]]) – The position of the restraint on each collective variable for each stage of the schedule.

  • verse (str) – Whether the restraint is acting for values of the collective variable “larger” or “smaller” than the restraint, or acting on “both” sides (default).

  • timestep (Time) – The integration timestep.

  • runtime (Time) – The running time.

  • temperature (Temperature) – The temperature.

  • pressure (Pressure) – The pressure. Pass pressure=None to use the NVT ensemble.

  • restart_interval (int) – The frequency at which restart configurations and trajectory frames are saved. (In integration steps.)

  • colvar_file (str) – The path to a COLVAR file from a previous simulation. The information in the file must be consistent with the ‘collective_variable’ argument.
