   simulating my protein i encounter some of the problems.please give me ur
   suggetions or any reference to overcome this problem.this is my first
   experience of running the gromacs.kindly look for my problems and answer 
me

   as soon as possible.Thanks in advancesome of the errors are..

   1..while running  pdb2gmx
   warning :'FE2' not found in residue topology database,trying to use
   'FE'.i know that i've to use PRODGR to construct topology for Fe.but i'm 
not

   familiar to use it.please tell me the procedure of using it.

   2..when i'm trying to run grompp
   Note: System has non-zero total charge : -6.02e+00.is it 
necessary
   to neutralise the charge, if so genion has to run Na means how much i've 
to

   add..ie how to calculate it...

   3..with the avialable output file i tried to run mdrun..
  showing the error that can not open File toplo.tpr but my tpr file is
   out3.tpr.i'm giving correctly in command also like mdrun -s out3 -o out4

   i'll be helpful if i get the answers..

You need to describe better what you're trying to do with an iron atom, 
and also which force field, for us to suggest a solution. This is not a 
help service for PRODRG, by the way, although some users will have some 
expertise with it. I can only suggest reading whatever documentation it 
provides.

Whether you want a neutral system depends what physical model you want 
to use. A physical Na+ ion will have +1e charge. I'll leave it to you to 
work out how many Na+ you need to neutralise -6e :-) (don't worry about 
the tiny fraction).



   3..with the avialable output file i tried to run mdrun..

Most likely, you aren't giving the command you think you are :-)

2006-05-12 Thread chris . neale
Your reported errors:
1..while running  pdb2gmx
   warning :'FE2' not found in residue topology database...

What force field are you using in pdb2gmx? look at that .itp file and the files 
that it includes (.itp file is prefaced by 'ff' and is in share/gromacs/top/ or 
similar directory)
If you can't get pdb2gmx to work then get rid of your Iron from the PDB and run 
pdb2gmx to get the .gro and then add the iron back into the .gro (pdb2gmx seems 
to work easily only with pure protein files, although perhaps a more 
experienced 
user can get it to work with anything).
Regardless, it is key to know what your force field is calling the iron2 atom.

2..when i'm trying to run grompp
   Note: System has non-zero total charge : -6.02e+00.
   is it necessary to neutralise the charge, if so genion 
   has to run Na means how much i've to add..ie how to calculate it...

You must have a charge neutral system to use Ewald/PME/etc... If you are using 
a 
pure cutoff or 2-step cutoff then a net negative charge should be fine (as long 
as your cutoff values are otherwise acceptable). I am not sure what your 2nd 
question is here??? Add 6 positive monovalent ions to neutralize.

3..with the avialable output file i tried to run mdrun..
   showing the error that can not open File toplo.tpr but my tpr file is
   out3.tpr.i'm giving correctly in command also like mdrun -s out3 
   -o out4 -c out4 -v

First of all, forget about mdrun until you solve the other problems. How do you 
run grompp successfully if you have problems with pdb2gmx? Regardless, try -s 
out3.tpr (add the .tpr) although I can't imagine that that will help. It 
appears 
that your -s argument is not getting read... look for errors/warning before the 
one that you mentioned.
Hope that helps.

That's not true. There's nothing intrinsic about those treatments that 
prevents non-neutral systems... quite the contrary in fact, although 
I've seen this must-be-neutral view expressed on this list before. 
Further there is nothing in the gromacs 3.3 manual that suggests there 
is a gromacs constraint to have neutral systems, although I haven't ever 
wanted to try it out myself to see. Whether you'd want a non-neutral 
system for a given problem is a matter for the user to decide :-)

Umm, I'd guess most of us just reply to the emails that get sent to

copy-and-paste-the-subject will not work with all list-management

In general, no you can't submit multiple trajectory files and have them 
concatenated magically. Some utilities like trjcat will accept them, but 
only to write the concatenation, not to analyze it. Your options include 
hacking the source code of the utilities you want to use, getting a new 
file system, reducing the frequency of the data in the existing files 
using trjconv, not writing data so frequently during the simulation or 
using different analysis tools.

I always created .rtp building blocks for my residues and converted

But it is also possible to use explicit values with 43A1, one of my

[gmx-users] About calculations of viscosity

2006-05-12 Thread Zhao Lifeng



Dear gmx-users,


I’m a new GMX user. I notice from either the user-manual 
or the references (Palmer, PRE 49 359,  B. Hess, JCP 116, 209, etc.) that 
there seem to be at least 3 methods available in Gromacs: Einstein relation, 
TCAF and periodic perturbation method. But I’m not very clear about how to set 
the calculations and how to get the according viscosity values.
My understanding is this:
For Einstein relation calculations, there is no special 
setting in the md.mdp file, and the viscosity value is gotten by the visco.xvg 
file generated by ‘g_energy �Cvis’; 
For TCAF, also there is no special setting in the md.mdp 
file, and the viscosity value is gotten by fitting the data of visco_k.xvg file 
generated by ‘g_tcaf’;
For the periodic perturbation method, two NEMD items, a 
‘accelerate’ value in X direction should be specified to all atoms and a 
‘cos_acceleration’ value should be given, and the viscosity value is gotten from 
the ‘1/Viscosity(SI)’ item of the ‘g_energy’ 
results.
I’m eager for any instructions about techniques on the 
calculations and the value ranges. 
Thanks.

Zhao

Subject: [gmx-users] pressure scaling.

hallo gromaxers, i am new to gromacs and i am facing another problem. I got
the following error when i tried to simulate a dilute gas. I tried removing
pbc but then the run hangs. i even tried changing my box vectors to satisfy
the triclinic conditions.

moreover when i view my initial structure using ngmx. the structure doesnt
lie in the box completely. its to the left. i think i need to change the
center of the box for that. am i right?

i have used arbit positions in the conf.gro file. Is this going to hamper my
run in any way? i believe since i am trying to simulate a gas, i can use
arbit positions. also i am using only 64 atoms. my co-ordinates are all
positive and less than 1(0.001 to 0.999). my box vectors are 1.920 1.870
1.655 0.000 0.000 0.950 0.000 0.950 0.800.
if any other detail is required please let me know.

how do i reduce pressure scaling? and how can i fix pbc for my cell?

SV: [gmx-users] failing to constraint distance

2006-05-12 Thread Soren Enemark
Hello Gmx-users, can it be true that it is not possible to constrain the vector between 2 molecules defined as constrain group and reference group in a ppa file?  After a longer struggle it seems to me that one can only constrain _one_ of the following: I. The length of the vector II.,III.,IV., The length of the vector onto the x, y, and z, coordinate axis, respectively.  This means that setting:  "constraint_direction = 0.0 1.0 1.0" or  "constraint_direction = 1.0 1.0 1.0"  in the ppa file will constrain _anything_! Why is that?  Best regards -Soren   Soren Enemark [EMAIL PROTECTED] skrev: Dear Gromacs users,  I have difficulties to get the distance between two molecules constraint using  a .ppa file as

Re: [gmx-users] Re: Re: angle restraints

2006-05-12 Thread David Mobley

Maarten,

So you are saying that lambda is just controlling the restraints and
nothing else? That is, you are using lambda-dependent angle
restraints? If this is the case, the problem is the fix for the bug
that I referred you, as implemented in 3.3.1. From the bugzilla
page, here's the fix:


This was a nasty bug.
The problem was that the angle-restraint parameters were stored
incorrectly in the tpr file.
I have fixed it completely in the CVS.
I also made a fix for 3.3.1, but there the B-state parameters
are always copied from the A-state.


In other words, in 3.3.1, the claim is that angle restraint parameters
can't be made to be lambda-dependent; B state and A state parameters
are the same. I am confused why you would be getting a nonzero
dv/dlambda at all in this case.

According to Berk, the angle restraints have the correct lambda
dependence in the CVS version. So if you are really intent on doing
things this way (that is, using lambda-dependent angle restraints) you
may want the CVS version.

Alternatively, you can do what I do, which is run simulations using
normal (non-lambda dependent) angle restraints with a bunch of
different spring constants, rather than using the free energy code.
Think of the spring constant like lambda. Then dV/dlambda=d(restraint
energy)/dK, where K is the spring constant. For harmonic restraints,
this is (restraint energy)/K. So you can compute dV/dlambda yourself
from the energies that are output by just taking the angle restraint
energy and dividing by the spring constant.

Again, I'm still not clear that this is exactly what you're trying to
do. As far as I can tell if your only lambda dependence is in the
angle restraints, and you are using 3.3.1, you should be getting a
dv/dlambda that is zero everywhere, unless you've done something
strange like turning on soft core potentials or something.

David,

Thanks for your reply.

I am currently using 3.3.1 code.

I am increase the force, to be able to calculate the free energy
required of introducing the angle restraints in the system. I use small
force increments each run, using a delta_lambda of 0.

Decreasing or increasing in my view only changes the sign of the
overall graph, but it should not allow dG/dl to cross zero.

Thanks,
Maarten

 Subject: Re: [gmx-users] angle restraints

 Maarten,

 What version of the code are you using? There was a bug in the angle
 restraints code until 3.3.1 (or 3.3 cvs) which caused angle
 restraints
 to turn off gradually as a function of lambda in free energy
 calculations, if I remember correctly. (See bugzilla for details:
 http://bugzilla.gromacs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43).

 However, I'm not sure that relates to the problem you're describing,
 but it probably does, depending on the version you are using.

 What exactly are you changing in the free energy calculation? Are you
 changing the angle restraint as a function of lambda? If so, which
 way
 are you changing it? Decreasing or increasing restraints?

 David

  Dear users,
 
  I have a small system with a number of small peptides. I want to
  constraint the angle between the N-term to C-term vectors of
 different
  peptides. This works well, but if I do a FEP calculation the dG/dl
  becomes smaller than zero at some point.
  I expected it to be at least allways greater than zero (zero in the
  limit that the restraint does not have to do anything), since a
 force
  has to be aplied to restraint the angles.
  Can anybody explain where I am going wrong?
 
  Thanks

[gmx-users] N-terminal and C-terminal modifications

2006-05-12 Thread List User

What is the best approach to handle N and C-terminal modifications
(e.g. formylation, chemical modification)?  Is it better to define
custom residue types or to adjust the termini database?  Thanks in
advance for your advice.

[gmx-users] question about freezing a group

2006-05-12 Thread Linchen Gong

Dear gromacs users,
I'm doing a MD simulation of protein in water. I freeze an atom in z 
direction, e.g. freezdim N N Y, and afm pull another atom along -z direction, 
e.g. afm_dir = 0 0 -1 afm_rate1 = 0.01 afm_init1 equals the coordinate of the 
pulled atom. After about 200ps simulation, I found that the z coordinate of the 
pulled atom dropped with string, however the z coordinate of the frozen atom 
also dropped alot. I think z of the frozen atom should be constant, but why it 
drops?
Waiting for your help.
Thanks a lot!
   Linchen Gong

[gmx-users] question about trjconv

2006-05-12 Thread Linchen Gong
Dear gromacs users,
I have another question concerning about trjconv. Is anyway to make trjconv 
uninteractive, e.g. do not have to choose selected group to output or fit 
interactively. Since I'm using gromacs in a cluster and must bsub jobs to 
queue, I don't know how to handle interactive option.
Thanks a lot!
