dihedral_style helix command :h3
[Syntax:]
dihedral_style helix :pre
[Examples:]
dihedral_style helix
dihedral_coeff 1 80.0 100.0 40.0 :pre
[Description:]
The {helix} dihedral style uses the potential
:c,image(Eqs/dihedral_helix.jpg)
This coarse-grain dihedral potential is described in "(Guo)"_#Guo.
For dihedral angles in the helical region, the energy function is
represented by a standard potential consisting of three minima, one
corresponding to the trans (t) state and the other to gauche states
(g+ and g-). The paper describes how the A,B,C parameters are chosen
so as to balance secondary (largely driven by local interactions) and
tertiary structure (driven by long-range interactions).
The following coefficients must be defined for each dihedral type via the
"dihedral_coeff"_dihedral_coeff.html command as in the example above, or in
the data file or restart files read by the "read_data"_read_data.html
or "read_restart"_read_restart.html commands:
A (energy)
B (energy)
C (energy) :ul
[Restrictions:]
Dihedral styles can only be set for atom styles that allow dihedrals to be
defined.
This dihedral style is part of the "molecular" package. It is only
enabled if LAMMPS was built with that package. See the "Making
LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#2_2 section for more info.
