``PARM' parameter/topology file specification

The following section provides a good overview of the general topology fileformat. A more complete prmtop specification, complete withchamber-style sections and expanded explanations of some sections andhow they are used to calculate forces in Amber programs, is available inPDF-form by clicking here. (This document is takenfrom the appendix of Jason Swails’ doctoral dissertation.) This file isgenerated by the LEaP programs, either sleap or tleap/xleap.

A file with.md or.MARKDOWN extension is a Markdown doc. It’s nothing but a plain text file that uses the Markdown language to describe how to convert a text document to HTML. It takes all the. What is TODO.md? The TODO.md format is based on GFM - GitHub Flavored Markdown - Task Lists. TODO.md is a file that contains tasks organized in multiple sections. Tasks in TODO.md can be visualized using Kanban Board where sections become columns on the board. The Comptroller's Office is dedicated to making the process of filing and paying taxes, simple, safe and efficient. You may have questions before, during, or after you file your return. We're here to help. This section supplies the latest information for business taxpayers. The state income tax filing deadline has been extended until July 15, 2021.

NOTE: the atom numbers in the following arrays that describe bonds,angles, and dihedrals are coordinate array indexes for runtime speed. The trueatom number equals the absolute value of the number divided by three, plus one.In the case of the dihedrals, if the fourth atom is negative, this implies thatthe dihedral is an improper. If the third atom is negative, this implies thatthe end group interations are to be ignored. End group interactions areignored, for example, in dihedrals of various ring systems (to prevent doublecounting of 1-4 interactions) and in multiterm dihedrals.

The following are only present if IFBOX .gt. 0

The following are only present if IFCAP .gt. 0

The following is only present if IFPERT .gt. 0 Note thatthe initial state, or equivalently the prep/link/edit state, isrepresented by lambda=1 and the perturbed state, or final statespecified in parm, is the lambda=0 state. This information is only used forGIBBS and is unused in either SANDER or PMEMD.

Format

AMBER coordinate/restart file specification

The 'coord' version of this file is generated by the PARM orLEaP programs. The 'restrt' version is the result of energyminimization or molecular dynamics in SANDER orGIBBS and may contain velocity and periodic box information.

IF dynamics

IF constant pressure (in 4.1, also constant volume)

Note: in AMBER 4.1 if the EWALD option is turned on, the box angles willalso be written out in the same format.

AMBER trajectory (coordinate or velocity) file specification

This file is optionally written during dynamics in SANDER orGIBBS.

The following snapshot is written every NTWX steps in thetrajectory (specified in the control input file):

AMBER Trajectory NetCDF Convention

Beginning with AMBER 9, a binary file format for trajectory data based onNetCDF issupported by sander, pmemd and ptraj. This format is supported byVMD beginning with version1.8.4.

How To Read Md Files

The AMBER Trajectory NetCDF Convention,describes the layout of dimensions, variables and attributes within the file. It is also available as a PDF.
