Run Linux on them. It will save you a lot of problems... Otherwise

Re: [gmx-users] which vdwradii in pqr coming from editconf -mead ??

Dear community,

I am producing pqr files with editconf -mead (starting from tpr files) in order
to process them with apbs. The charges are the same as those of my topology, but
I can't figure out from where the van der Waals radii are coming:

-They don't match the ones I found in the file share/gromacs/top/vdwradii.dat
-They don't match the ones I compute starting with the C6 and C12 coefficients
of the LJ potentials. I compute them with eps=(C12/C6)^(1/6). 


Thank you very much for any hint!



there are different options:

   -rvdw   real   0.12  Default Van der Waals radius (in nm) if one can
not be found in the database or if no 
parameters

are present in the topology file
  -sig56   real  0  Use rmin/2 (minimum in the Van der Waals
potential) rather than sigma/2
-[no]vdwread   bool no  Read the Van der Waals radii from the file
vdwradii.dat rather than computing the radii
based on the force field


Default is to compute them from the lennard jones parameters. Note that 
if you want to reproduce literature data you need to use their charges 
and radii.



By the way, we have tried some calculations with MEAD, but find that the 
results are chaotic. An infinitesimal change in coordinates will give 
very large variations in energy, and there is no convergence to a 
certain energy if one makes the grid spacing smaller either. Is that a 
generic feature of these kind of programs? Is it better in APBS?

Yep. You will see "x" between pairs of numbers in the "Repl ex" line 
when exchange occured successfully between those pairs. You can 
experiment with making your temperature gaps smaller to get a feel for 
how close they need to be for your size of system.

Yes, only the parallel version was affected.

Re: [gmx-users] Problem with trjconv centering after fitting

2006-08-28 Thread chris . neale
Thanks Tsjerk, that works great! Also your explaination was very clear. I would
just like to follow up that what works for me was (2 steps):

trjconv -s a.tpr -f a.xtc -o b.xtc -center tric -ur compact -pbc none
trjconv -s a.tpr -f b.xtc -o c.xtc -fit rot+trans

I now understand also why the following single step conversion doesn't work, but
perhaps this following combination should be disallowed by trjconv or the code
should be changed to do the rotation as the last step:

trjconv -s a.tpr -f a.xtc -o c.xtc -center tric -ur compact -fit rot+trans -pbc

Since you're at a Max Planck address I'd suggest you contact the staff

In fact we had very (too) little water, and were we to do the 
simulations again we would use more. When your peptide collapses in 
solvent it will be smaller, but at high T it may still be slightly 
extended. I'd suggest doing a short test sim at high T (but not higher 
than the boiling point...) to see how large you need to take the box. 
I'd also suggest not using higher than 373 K, at least if you want to 
interpret the data at high T as well. If you want to use REMD solely for 
sampling at lower T you can use unphysically T as well (unphysical 
because the water does not evaporate at T > 373 in the simulation).

Re: [gmx-users] Configuration on an IBM power computer

2006-08-28 Thread Arthur Roberts
Hi, Volker

I have installed Gromacs 3.3.1 on a couple of IBM
power computers (i.e. P655+).  You need to install
fftw3, and not fftw 2.15.  fftw 2.15 didn't seem to
work with AIX 5.2.  

Here are the instructions:

Installing fftw3

setenv MPICC 'mpcc_r -q64'
setenv CC 'xlc_r -q64'
setenv F77 'xlf_r -q64'
setenv OBJECT_MODE 64
setenv LDFLAGS  
setenv CPPFLAGS 
setenv FFLAGS '-O3 -qarch=pwr4 -qtune=pwr4 -qmaxmem=-1
-qstrict'
setenv CFLAGS '-O3 -qarch=pwr4 -qtune=pwr4 -qmaxmem=-1
-qstrict'

./configure
--prefix=/rmount/users09/washu/aroberts/fftw3
--enable-float

make

make install

Installing Gromacs 3.3.1

setenv MPICC 'mpcc_r -q64'
setenv CC 'xlc_r -q64'
setenv F77 'xlf_r -q64'
setenv OBJECT_MODE 64
setenv FFLAGS '-O3 -qarch=pwr4 -qtune=pwr4 -qmaxmem=-1

setenv LDFLAGS
'-L/rmount/users09/washu/aroberts/fftw3/lib'
setenv CPPFLAGS
'-I/rmount/users09/washu/aroberts/fftw3/include'

poe "./configure --enable-mpi

--prefix=/rmount/users09/washu/aroberts/gromacs_3.3.1s
--exec-prefix=/rmount/users09/washu/aroberts/gromacs_3.3.1s"

You may need to adjust this for your particular

essentially work on two IBM Power P655+.

I hope this helps.

yes. in the Seibert paper the number of atoms was very small < 4000. 
The number of replicas should be inversely proportional to the 
number of atoms, so if you have 16000 atoms you need 64 replicas to 
cover this T-range.

Re: [gmx-users] remd ... is it exchanging?

2006-08-28 Thread Carsten Baldauf

dear david//
i never used pymol ... in your paper you write you solvated using pymol. 
is it a plugin or or a standard feature? can you give me a hint how to 
do it?

thanks//

the line 'Repl pr ' allways only contains .00's. thus i guess there 
is no exchange happening. am i right? what are the possible reasons 
and what you suggest me to change?

yes. in the Seibert paper the number of atoms was very small < 4000. 
The number of replicas should be inversely proportional to the number 
of atoms, so if you have 16000 atoms you need 64 replicas to cover 
this T-range.

Re: [gmx-users] Problem with trjconv centering after fitting

2006-08-28 Thread Tsjerk Wassenaar

Hi,

Would that be the same? What happened here is that the system was
first fitted. Thus, the system is rotated and any operation concerning
pbc after that point will be screwed up, because the box definition
does not match the system. Solution: first perform all operations
involving pbc, then fit the system. Note that translations are not a
problem, only rotations. An alternative solution would be to have all
routines involving rotation of the frame also rotating the box
definition in that frame in the trajectory. But this requires
modifications in many routines.

2006-08-28 Thread 主月 :)




I want to build a water cell with 4p or 5p.How 
can i realized it?
May be after include *.itp in current top, 
something need to be modified? It was said that 4p or 5p  need OPLS 
together.
 
How can i used it in GROMOS 96
