<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black;" lang="EN-GB">I would like to know the best way to restrict a dihedral angle during a simulation.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Times;" lang="EN-GB"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black;" lang="EN-GB">Without any experience about this, I tried to use a fictitious Colvar putting two walls to define the space that the dihedral can freely explore.  Then, the program asks for a
 value of the SCALE variable during the metadynamics calculation, and I set this to 0.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black;" lang="EN-GB">However, I'm not sure that this is the correct solution to my problem.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black;" lang="EN-GB">Can somebody suggest me other solutions?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black;" lang="EN-GB">Thanks</span></p>
