Dear Professor David A. Case,

   As mentioned in Junmei Wang's paper on JACS(2001) , they solve such problem by doing normal mode

analysis on redisues 12 angstron around the center of the ligand .

I don't know how they operate it in detail .

Do they just cut the hole protein to small pieces ,and then do the normal mode analysis ?

Or is there one way in the Nmode module of Amber can do the normal mode analysis on special groups ,just partial vibrational mode of the molecule was analyzed ?

Thank you very much for your sincerely help .!
 

                 Yours Sincerely,
                                Changge Ji
