SYNOPSIS

g_morph -f1 conf1.gro -f2 conf2.gro -o interm.xtc -or rms-interm.xvg -n index.ndx -[no]h -[no]version -nice int -[no]w -xvg enum -ninterm int -first real -last real -[no]fit

DESCRIPTION

g_morph does a linear interpolation of conformations in order to create intermediates. Of course these are completely unphysical, but that you may try to justify yourself. Output is in the form of a generic trajectory. The number of intermediates can be controlled with the -ninterm flag. The first and last flag correspond to the way of interpolating: 0 corresponds to input structure 1 while 1 corresponds to input structure 2. If you specify -first 0 or -last 1 extrapolation will be on the path from input structure x1 to x2. In general, the coordinates of the intermediate x(i) out of N total intermidates correspond to:

x(i) = x1 + (first+(i/(N-1))*(last-first))*(x2-x1)

Finally the RMSD with respect to both input structures can be computed if explicitly selected ( -or option). In that case, an index file may be read to select the group from which the RMS is computed.
