[gmx-users] How to implement v-rescale thermostat in gromacs-3.3.3

2008-09-21 Thread Bo Zhou
Hi gmx-users,

 

When I came across the 4.0 beta version, I found there was a new thermostat
named v-rescale available here. I wonder if it would be easy to incorporate
it in the version 3.3.3 as a patch. Note that the 4.0 version is still under
development, I prefer to use a revised 3.3.3 version to make a production
run. Thanks very much for your help.

[gmx-users] Warning message with 3.3.3 but not with 3.3.1

2008-04-16 Thread Bo Zhou
Hi gmx-users,

I want to simulate a solid/water interface. I just freeze the solid surface,
and let the water molecules free to move. Here is a part of my mdp as
follows:

comm-mode = linear
nstcomm   = 10
comm-grps  = SOL

tcoupl  = Berendsen
tc-grps = SOL Solid
tau-t   = 0.1 0.1
ref-t   = 298 0

Same system and same sets were tested both in gmx 3.3.1 and gmx 3.3.3.
Following message in the log file was printed in the log file with gmx
3.3.3, but not with gmx 3.3.1.

Large VCM(group rest):  0.1, -0.2, -0.0, T-cm:
inf

Large VCM(group rest):  0.1, -0.3, -0.0, T-cm:
inf

Large VCM(group rest): -0.0, -0.3, -0.0, T-cm:
inf

I wonder whether it is reasonable to stopcm or not. Would it cause any
non-physical artifacts? Thanks for suggestions.

[gmx-users] Re: infinite molecule problem - Follow up info

2008-04-07 Thread Bo Zhou
When I stopCM of the whole system, all running is ok, but I found the
infinite surface oscillating along the xy plane collectively and frequently,
so there were too much inconsistent shifts. Then I stopCM of the surface
only, I get a lot of warnings about the Large VCM(group rest) (group rest =
SOL in my system). Thanks for your attention.

 Stop COM of the whole system?

  Dear gmx users,
 
  My previous question are:
 
  I want to simulate the solid/liquid interface, so I build an infinite
  inorganic molecule with pbc=full first. After I ran the system
   with vaccum (at the top of system) for a few ps, I found the crystal
  oscillating along the xy plane collectively and frequently,
   so there were too much inconsistent shifts. I wonder if it is
  reasonable,
  if not, is there any solution for it? Any suggestions
   would be helpful. Thanks.
 
  I have tested one system with infinite crystal only, and it turns out be
  to
  quite stable (no collective motion has been found), but when I put some
  water molecules on it, the crystal surface turns out to be what I have
  said
  above. Then I stop the COM motion of the crystal, and it seems ok again,
  just like what I have found in the simulation system with that crystal
  only
  (with stopcm too). However, I get a lot of warnings in the log file as
  follows:
  Large VCM(group rest):  0.00015,  0.00094, -0.00022,
 T-cm:
  inf
  Large VCM(group rest): -0.00038,  0.00063, -0.00140, T-cm:
  inf
  Large VCM(group rest): -0.00029,  0.00050, -0.00206, T-cm:

  Large VCM(group rest):  0.7,  0.00034, -0.00231,
 T-cm:
  inf
  Large VCM(group rest):  0.7, -0.00043, -0.00213, T-cm:
  inf
  ..
  I have not stop the COM motion of the group SOL, and I really do not
know
  how to understand these warnings. I check the system again, everything
  seems
  alright except for these awkward warnings. I'm really out of ideas here.
  If
  anyone could give me some suggestions I would really appreciate it!
Thanks
  for your time.

[gmx-users] POL3 polarizable water model

Dear Gromacs users,

I wonder whether or not the POL3 polarizable water model (Caldwell JW,
Kollman PA (1995) J Phys Chem 99: 6208-6219.) can be incorporated in gmx
with amber03 force field. Thanks in advance.

Best regards

[gmx-users] Can 1-4 interactions be excluded seperately?

2007-11-26 Thread Bo Zhou
Hi all,

There are two molecules in my system. One is parameterized with no torsion
term in the energy expression (consistent with the OPLS force field), so 1-4
interactions should be excluded. The other one is treated as a normal
protein molecule using OPLS force field. I want to include OPLS ff, but not
to gen pairs with the previous molecule. Does it feasible in gmx?
Thanks in advance.

[gmx-users] Question about embedding a force field with no torsion term

2007-11-21 Thread Bo Zhou
Hi all,

 

Recently I want to embed a force field ( Chem. Mater., 17 (23), 5658 -5669,
2005) in gmx. In the paper, It is said that the force field parameters are
consistent with GROMACS. The energy expression has a form as follows:

E= E(bond) + E(angle) + E(coulomb) + E(vdW)

 

Note that there is no torsion term, I write an itp file manually and use
nrexcel   2 in my molecule. I am not sure about how to deal with the 1-4
interactions, because when I include with the opls force field, gmx still
generates 1-4 interactions. Is it necessary for having 1-4 interactions
here? If necessary, how to make that force field consistent with opls ff ?

 

Thanks in advance!

2007-11-21 Thread Bo Zhou
Thanks, Mark. Can you tell me any more in detail? I am really somewhat
confused about it. I want to cooperate this force field with oplsaa, but it
looks strange that there is not any torsion energy at all but can have 1-4
interactions. with  nrexcel=2, Do I still need 1-4 interactions made by
the procedure of genning pairs? Thanks very much.

You can make it do what you want. See chapters 4  5 of the manual.

[gmx-users] surface tension calculation in g_energy

2007-10-24 Thread Bo Zhou
Hi all,

   I use the option #Surf*SurfTens in g_engery to calculate the surface
tension, but I find that I really do not know how it works after I get some
inconsistent results compared with the calculation using the formula gamma
= 0.5*(Pzz - (Pxx+Pyy)/2) * Lz ( there are two surfaces here and the
surfaces in normal to the Z-axis).

 

Energy  Average   RMSD Fluct.  Drift
Tot-Drift
