Hi Anshul,

You mention that you used a variation of your file given below (the
the group information apparently at the end of the file). Also from
what you have provided, it appears that the restraint information is
not being read in. You should have a LISTOUT=POUT type statement
which gets the restraint violation list and a DISTANG=RST.f statement
that reads in the file containing your actual restraints.

Could you please send the input file you are currently using to attempt
this simulation as it will allow us to better help you solve the problem.

I don't know why you want to include group restraints in your
simulated annealing simulation, but I would recommend you first attempt a
simulation without the group restraint information, following the
procedure outlined in the NMR refinement of a DNA duplex tutorial.

i.e. anneal.in
