Hello Everyone,

I have completed the very nice tutorial for lyzosyme available here: http://www.bevanlab.biochem.vt.edu/Pages/Personal/justin/gmx-tutorials/lysozyme/index.html

As I am working with unfolding, I would like to try simulate the unfolding by adding urea. I have made a urea.gro file (lifting the coordinates from 3va7.pdb) and wanted to use the gmx insert-molecules command to insert 300 copies of it. my procedure was the following:

convert pdb file to gro file using gmx pdb2gro, selecting OPLS/AA force field and the tip4p water model create a box using: gmx editconf -f lys.gro -o lysBox.gro -c -d 1.0 -bt cubic solvate using: gmx solvate -cp lysBox.gro -cs spc216.gro -o lysSolv.gro -p topol.top add the urea molecules: grm insert-molecules -f lysSolv.gro -ci urea.gro -nmol 300 -o lysUrea.gro

this gives me the error message:
Table routines are used for coulomb: FALSE

Table routines are used for vdw:     FALSE

Cut-off's:   NS: 0.3078   Coulomb: 0.3078   LJ: 0.3078

Grid: 23 x 23 x 23 cells

Try 1143box_margin = 0.2907erlap:

Neighborsearching with a cut-off of 0.3078

The same is the case if the urea is attempted added to lysBox.gro instead of lysSolv (so to the box with lyzosyme before I have added solvent).

Can anyone give me any help with what my problem is? I guess one problem could be if I ask gromacs to insert urea, where another molecule is already positioned. Ideally, I would like to replace some water molecules with urea, but I am not sure how to do that.

my urea.gro is the following - note that it is the copy pasting which messes up the format. gmx does not complain about it:
Urea

    UREA      C    1   2.340  -9.756 -14.099

    UREA      O    2   1.153  -9.491 -13.782

    UREA     N1   3   2.834  -9.467 -15.277

    UREA     N2   4   3.247 -10.369 -13.324



Any help would be highly appreciated.

Cheers
Martin
