S2CM
This is part of the s2cm module
It is only available if you configure PLUMED with ./configure –enable-modules=s2cm . Furthermore, this feature is still being developed so take care when using it and report any problems on the mailing list.

S2 contact model CV.

This CV was used in [82], based on NH order parameter from [117] and methyl order parameter from [76]. Input parameters can be found in the relevant papers.

Description of components

By default the value of the calculated quantity can be referenced elsewhere in the input file by using the label of the action. Alternatively this Action can be used to calculate the following quantities by employing the keywords listed below. These quantities can be referenced elsewhere in the input by using this Action's label followed by a dot and the name of the quantity required from the list below.

Quantity Description
.#!value the value of the CV
The atoms involved can be specified using
METHYL_ATOM the methyl carbon atom of the residue (i). For more information on how to specify lists of atoms see Groups and Virtual Atoms
NH_ATOMS the hydrogen atom of the NH group of the residue (i) and carbonyl oxygen of the preceding residue (i-1). For more information on how to specify lists of atoms see Groups and Virtual Atoms
HEAVY_ATOMS the heavy atoms to be included in the calculation. For more information on how to specify lists of atoms see Groups and Virtual Atoms
Compulsory keywords
R_EFF the effective distance, r_eff in the equation, given in nm.
PREFACTOR_A the prefactor, a in the equation
EXPONENT_B the exponent, b in the equation
OFFSET_C the offset, c in the equation
N_I n_i in the equation
Options
NUMERICAL_DERIVATIVES ( default=off ) calculate the derivatives for these quantities numerically
NOPBC ( default=off ) ignore the periodic boundary conditions when calculating distances
SERIAL ( default=off ) Perform the calculation in serial - for debug purpose
NLIST

( default=off ) Use a neighbour list to speed up the calculation

NL_CUTOFF The cutoff for the neighbour list
NL_STRIDE The frequency with which we are updating the atoms in the neighbour list
R_SHIFT shift all distances by given amount
