[gmx-users] about box size (III)

2006-09-26 Thread chris . neale

editconf option,-f input.gro -o output.gro -bt triclinic -box 4 4 6
is not recommended for a box size of size is 3,2,6 in x,y,z
use -d 0.0 instead of -box 4 4 6
Read about it here:
http://www.gromacs.org/documentation/reference/online/editconf.html

I am assuming that you are using periodic boundary conditions and  
pressure scaling. In that case -box 4 4 6 will probably be fine, but  
be sure to visualize your system (you could use VMD). If you are  
unsure about periodicity (Tsjerk recently pointed out that what looks  
incorrect may in fact be correct) then I urge you to turn on the  
periodic representation in VMD and look at the system in this manner.


Chris.

Re: [gmx-users] configuration of system for small molecule crystal simulations

2006-09-26 Thread Tsjerk Wassenaar

Hi Vik,

Did you make sure the (rotational) orientation of your molecule
corresponded to the triclinic unit cell? And did you visualize the
crystal (using e.g. genconf to extend the system)?

Hope it helps,

Tsjerk

Hello,

I am attempting to simulate a small molecule in an orthorhombic unit
cell with z=4;  there is no solvent.  In this case, the crystal
packing forces are largely responsible for the molecular conformation,
and therefore the symmetry representation is critical.  I have put the
molecule in a triclinic box with dimensions equal to the lattice
dimensions, and I am not certain that this will result in appropriate
boundary conditions.  My simulation is currently blowing up, so I am
revisiting the initial setup and minimization.

If someone can clarify or provide an example of a similar problem, I
would appreciate it very much.

Re: [gmx-users] surface tension

2006-09-26 Thread Mark Abraham
 Dear all,

 what is the unit of surface tension in gromacs
 analysis? Is it dyn/cm or N/m. As according to me it
 is coming out to be in terms of N/m but it is attached
 with a conversion factor of some powers of 10.
 Kindly guide me. If I am getting e.g. 930.002 as the
 surface tension then what are it's units?

See section 2.2 of the manual. Surface tension isn't actually defined, but
after you read that, you'll know which it is.

Try this:

unconstrained_start = no


Also ensure that your .top file is correct.


Also take a look at your starting positions, where is MW?


Also ensure that your waters have the correct order:

eg.

 871SOL OW 3496   1.935   2.093   1.901

 871SOLHW1 3497   1.902   2.172   1.945

 871SOLHW2 3498   1.990   2.126   1.830

 871SOL MW 3499   1.938   2.107   1.898


The problema was here. In my old tip4p.itp file the water sites were in reverse order. I just change the order and it works now.
Thanks.



Also try outputting coords for step 20,21,22,23 in the first system and see what is actually happening.

[gmx-users] VAL group

2006-09-26 Thread Owen, Michael
Title: VAL group






Hello fellow gmx users,

when I convert a pdb file of a peptide that contains a valyl residue into a .gro file a separate group is made for the atoms in the valyl residue. This has happened when OPLSAA/l and the GROMOS96 53a6 force fields were used. The molecule appears as one in the topology file, and the atomic description of the valyl residue in the pdb file matches that of the ffoplsa.rtp file.

An excert from the topology file that shows the structure contains one peptide is below.

[ system ]
; Name
Protein in water

[ molecules ]
; Compound #mols
Protein 1
SOL 6973

An excerpt from my index file that shows the VAL group, with 16 atoms that are separated from the protein is below:

[gmx-users] Problem reading large file in g_covar

2006-09-26 Thread Sridhar Acharya

Hello,

I am running g_covar compiled on a sun4 architechture system running 
solaris 9.
But the program halts with the error message that the given xtc file was 
not found.
In fact the xtc file which is 7.1GB was very much existing. I suppose 
that it is a case of large file.
I  compiled GROMACS3.1.4 with --enable-largefile. But still the same 
error occurs.

How to make g_covar recognise this file?

[gmx-users] Covalent bonds between topology files

2006-09-26 Thread wjallen


Thank you for your reply, Mark.  That is what I was afraid of, that I would have
to physically combine the files.  My only problem there is the format of the
topology file that comes from pdb2gmx is slightly different than that which
comes from the PRODRG server.  For example, under the  [ bonds ]  section:

(from pdb2gmx):
...
5234  52362gb_2
5237  52382gb_4
...

(and from PRODRG):
...
5252  52541 0.140   334720.0   0.140   334720.0   CAY   NBN
5254  52551 0.100   374468.0   0.100   374468.0   NBN   HAF
...

I will try to decipher this and see what comes of it.  Thankfully, the
renumbering of atoms was not a problem because of the reorder.pl script
available in the user contributions section.  Again, thank you for your reply
Mark, I hope all that I said has made sense.

Cheers,

[gmx-users] Regarding preparation of .itp file for a new molecule

2006-09-26 Thread ARUN KUMAR
Hai all... 
 I am a
newbie to gromacs simulation software and its file formats. I want to
develop coarse grain models for surfactant systems by using atomistic
simulations. I got a .pdb file for BTMAC surfactant. 
 But to run
simuations on gromacs,I need to include .itp file in source code. Can
anyone of u tell me,Is it difficult to prepare a .itp file for a new
molecule?? If it is so, I want to know how many days it will take to
prepare... And also Please tell suggestions to prepare a .itp file
for a new molecule

Thanks in advance-- Arun kumar.VM.E Chemical Engg

Re: [gmx-users] Covalent bonds between topology files

2006-09-26 Thread Tsjerk Wassenaar

Hi W. Allen,

This is not necessarily a problem. The gb_* labels can be found in the
ffG*bon.itp files, and are replaced by the values found in those files
upon preprocessing. If they both correspond to the same force field,
it's no problem to combine them with some parameters referred to by
codes and others written in full. You may have to worry though,
regarding the force field used for both files. This should be the same
for both.

Best,

Tsjerk

That's not a problem. The .itp files will have lines like #define gb_2
stuff which expands to something that resembles the latter examples,
except that the bonded function number is different so the parameter lists
need not match.

It is tedious but not difficult to prepare an .itp file description of a
molecule. Please read chapters 4 and 5 of the manual. Consider using the
PRODRG server, and/or the pdb2gmx tool.

RE: [gmx-users] How can I remove water and ion molecules

2006-09-26 Thread Dallas B. Warren
Or you could try using the make_ndx utility, make an index file with one
of the groups containing all the molecules you want to keep, then run
either editconf (if want to remove them from the .gro / .pdb files) or
trajconv (if want to remove them from trajectory files).

Hello  fellow gmx users,

when I convert a pdb file of a peptide that contains a valyl residue into 
a .gro file a separate group is made for the atoms in the valyl residue. 
This has happened when OPLSAA/l and the GROMOS96 53a6 force fields were 
used. The molecule appears as one in the topology file, and the atomic 
description of the valyl residue in the pdb file matches that of the 
ffoplsa.rtp 
file. 

An excert from the topology file that shows the structure contains one 
peptide is below. 

[ system ]
; Name
Protein in water

[ molecules ]
; Compound#mols
Protein 1
SOL  6973

An excerpt from my index file that shows the VAL group, with 16 atoms that 
are separated from the protein is below:

Fellow gmx-users,

I would like to constrain the distance of an ion to specific atoms of a 
protein. I recently read a message in which the use of the option -merge 
in the pdb2gmx program was suggested. How can I use this option to form 
these constraints? 

Thank you for your assistance,

I've had success with Tieleman's lipids. I used popc128b.pdb. Since 
it has the extra ns of equilibration, I figured it would cause fewer 
problems. However, once you start messing around with making hole in 
the membrane and adding a protein, you'll need to re-equilibrate  
again (EM  PR).

 Hi All

 I am trying to use POPC bilayer for doing GPCR simulation.

 I have come across two options of generating a POPC bilayer 

 1. I can generate a POPC bilayer from the VMD Membrane plug-in,  
 wherein the
 membrane is generated from the pre-built membrane square patches  
 and lipid
 tails are (almost) fully extended.
 2. Alternatively, I can download the pre-equilibrated POPC bilayer 
 from Dr.
 Tieleman's website, http://moose.bio.ucalgary.ca/index.php?page=People 

 Since, I am new to the GPCR-membrane modeling, can you suggest me  
 which out
 of the above two options can be a better starting point for the  
 simulation
 of my GPCR protein? A membrane generated from VMD or a pre- 
 equilibrated
 membrane?? Would the equilibration time for my protein be lesser in 
 one out
 of the two?

 If option 2 is a good idea then out of popc128a.pdb and  
 popc128b.pdb (both
 available from Prof. Tieleman's website), which will be a better  
 model to
 start with?

 Thank you very much in advance.
