CCL: using TINKER



Dear Jonas,

I'm using the TINKER package for windows (running with FFE) and linux (running with shell script), and during the last 5 months I have been looking for a mailing list too. Now my calculations are running fine, but writing the .xyz and .key files (and making it all work) was a tedious job. Mostly, I'm using TINKER for molecular dynamics simulations, but I guess, that some of the "problems" I have encountered is universal for TINKER. If you have a specific question, let me know - maybe I can help you out.

Greetings,
Jakob

Dear Jonas,

For linux...

To me the greatest trick resides in defining correctly the PATH variable
in the shell that you are using.
(I mean, in my case, PATH=/opt/MolecularStructure/tinker/bin:$PATH)

Also, as I work is generating the coordinates files with MOLDEN, and 
assigning carefully the parameters with the 'FF' in the control window,
see MOLDEN web page, and saving them as TINKER xyz.

Hope that it helps (at least a little bit).

Dear all,

is anybody using TINKER by any chance? I have been trying to run jobs using FFE but found it impossible. Manual is to concise and I can;t run any jobs as I find pdbxyz, nucleic and protein commands only, whereas in the manual it clearly shows Optimize, no idea how to get there.

is there any mailing list or board for Tinker?

thanks

Jonas
