Dear Sir,          sorry to disturb you again. The 2.8 Version of NAMD has been out and as suggested by you earlier, I tried again to start my alpha p.m.f. calculation with this new NAMD version. Please have a look of my input file format below - colvarsTrajFrequency    100 colvarsRestartFrequency 2 analysis                off ########################### colvar {         ############################################         name            helix         width           0.1                     ##given this value so that it comprises with the lower and upper boundary         lowerBoundary   0.0         upperBoundary   1.0         outputValue     on         alpha{                 residueRange    71-82                 psfSegID        ASYN                 hBondCoeff      0.5                 angleRef        88                 angleTol        15                 hBondCutoff     3.3                 hBondExpNumer   6                 hBondExpDenom   8         } } ############################################# # Bias type metadynamics {                 colvars                 helix                 hillWeight              0.01    #height of each hills in kcal/mol                 newHillFrequency        100                 hillWidth               1.253   #[(square root of 2pi)/2]                 useGrids                on                 gridsUpdateFrequency    100                 dumpFreeEnergyFile      on                 writeHillsTrajectory    on         } The error which shows now says that - colvars:   # name = helix colvars:   Error: no valid components were provided for this collective variable. But, I have seen from the NAMD user guide that I have provided the variables essential for the pmf calculation. Please help me in this regard.Any suggestion from other expertise will also be very helpful. Thanks and Regards Prathit Chatterjee 03.06.2011
