Dear vmx-users

I am running through Dr Lemkul's umbrella sampling tutorial and applying this 
to my own structure. I have problem with the pull simulation command: grompp -f 
md_pull.mdp -c npt.gro -p topol.top -n index.ndx -t npt.cpt -o pull.tpr

I receive this error message back:


Ignoring obsolete mdp entry 'title'

Ignoring obsolete mdp entry 'optimize_fft'

Replacing old mdp entry 'nstxtcout' by 'nstxout-compressed'

ERROR: pull-coord1-groups should have 2 components


WARNING 1 [file md_pull.mdp, line 62]:

   Unknown left-hand 'pull-group0' in parameter file




WARNING 2 [file md_pull.mdp, line 62]:

   Unknown left-hand 'pull-group1' in parameter file




WARNING 3 [file md_pull.mdp, line 62]:

   Unknown left-hand 'pull_rate1' in parameter file




WARNING 4 [file md_pull.mdp, line 62]:

   Unknown left-hand 'pull_k1' in parameter file




NOTE 2 [file md_pull.mdp]:

   With Verlet lists the optimal nstlist is >= 10, with GPUs >= 20. Note

   that with the Verlet scheme, nstlist has no effect on the accuracy of

   your simulation.



NOTE 3 [file md_pull.mdp]:

   nstcomm < nstcalcenergy defeats the purpose of nstcalcenergy, setting

   nstcomm to nstcalcenergy



NOTE 4 [file md_pull.mdp]:

   leapfrog does not yet support Nose-Hoover chains, nhchainlength reset to 1


------------------------------

Fatal error:

Group Protein referenced in the .mdp file was not found in the index file.

Group names must match either [moleculetype] names or custom index group

names, in which case you must supply an index file to the '-n' option

of grompp.


My Index file is set up properly, with force being applied to Chain_A, and 
Chain_B is my static reference:

0 Chain_B             :  1290 atoms

1 Chain_A             :   110 atoms


The fatal error is due to the fact that you've deleted the other necessary groups. You should add Chain_A and Chain_B to an index file, but not delete the other groups.


The md_pull.mdp remains the same:


; Pull code

pull            = umbrella

pull_geometry   = distance  ; simple distance increase

pull_dim        = N N Y

pull_start      = yes       ; define initial COM distance > 0

pull_ngroups    = 1

pull_group0     = Chain_B

pull_group1     = Chain_A

pull_rate1      = 0.01      ; 0.01 nm per ps = 10 nm per ns

pull_k1         = 1000      ; kJ mol^-1 nm^-2


Any advice on how to treat this problem is appreciated.


Regarding the .mdp keywords, note from the first page of the tutorial:

"PLEASE NOTE: This tutorial has NOT been updated to reflect the new selection syntax and .mdp options introduced in GROMACS 5.0."

Use an older version (4.6.x) or check the manual for the new syntax; it doesn't differ much. I just haven't had the chance to make the changes and verify that things still work as expected.
