[gmx-users] problem regarding pbc

2007-01-24 Thread sangeeta

Dear GROMACS list members,


   I have three questions,

   My protein has +2 charge, so I added two Cl atoms through the program 
genion and subsequently edited the  topol.top file, in spite of that while 
running mdrun it gave an error that  FATAL error, CL atom type can not be 
found,I can not understand the problem.
   I wanted to include PBC in my simulation, I want to know that does 
Gromacs by default use the option by minimum image convention or we have to 
edit pr.mdp  md.mdp by writing PBC=xyz ,How can I know that PBC is 
being included in my simulation?
In spite of having dssp and running it I can not get the .xpm files. 
Instead while dssp is going on some kind of files namely ddEZ117f ddOWnvlx
are being produced.How can I generate those xpm files?  
Waiting for your reply.

regards
SANGEETA

Re: [gmx-users] problem regarding pbc

2007-01-24 Thread Tsjerk Wassenaar

Hi Sangeeta,

To start with, you don't really describe a problem regarding pbc, as
you've stated in the subject. Please make the subject reflect your
problem or question directly. This will make it easier on the repliers
on this list to check whether they can be of any help. Most of us
read/discard messages based on the subject.

Now, you have three questions, which you've stated before, but
apparently the answers were not informative enough. To start with the
pbc, gromacs uses pbc unless explicitly stated otherwise, by adding
pbc=no in the .mdp file.

Regarding the chlorides, I think you caught that you have to have an
#include statement in the .top file, reading #include ions.itp. The
next thing to make sure is that the name you've used for your chloride
ions in the .top file matches those in the file ions.itp listed for
the force field you are using. It may be CL, Cl, Cl-. You can try
either or you can check the file ions.itp in your
$GMXDIR/share/gromacs/top directory.

Finally, regarding dssp, please explain what you tried to do, i.e.
which command you've issued. Note that the file you mentioned is
merely a temporary file.

Hope it helps,

Tsjerk

dear Sir,

   Thanks a lot for your reply.I am sorry for the fact that my subject name 
does not tally with the problem I faced.I really apologize for that.
   So I do not need to include explicitely pbc=xyz in my .mdp file as it

   Regarding dssp I used the following commands
   
   export DSSP=/home/debjani/dssp
   setenv DSSP /home/debjani/dssp
   do_dssp -s md.tpr -f traj.xtc 
  
  At the end of the program only the files namely ddEZ117f ddOWnvlx etc were 
present, but no .xpm files were there.I want to get the plot of changing of 
secondary structural elements during the run.PLease help.

Re: [gmx-users] problem regarding dssp

2007-01-24 Thread Tsjerk Wassenaar

Hi Sangeeta,


  export DSSP=/home/debjani/dssp

This is needed if your shell is bash


  setenv DSSP /home/debjani/dssp

This is needed if your shell is (t)csh

Now, /home/debjani/dssp points to the file dssp and not to the directory, right?


  do_dssp -s md.tpr -f traj.xtc


Could you send the output of the command? That is likely to be more informative.

Cheers,

Tsjerk

[gmx-users] generation of a box of water

2007-01-24 Thread K.F. Austen

Hi,

I am trying to generate a box of purely water molecules (101 molecules) 
using the following commands:


/usr/local/gromacs/bin/genbox -cp box.pdb -ci spc216 -o water.pdb -nmol 101

(I've also tried using tip5p but have the same problem.)

box.pdb looks like this:

TITLE NOTHING
REMARKTHIS IS A SIMULATION BOX
CRYST19.7404  14.9488  20.0870 90.00  90.00  90.00 P 1   1
MODEL1
TER
ENDMDL

The box that is generated has too many close contacts... Even after energy 
minimization, there are atoms too close together. I've played around with 
-seed, varying between 20 and 2050 but whatever value I use, the system 
will not minimise to a sensible enough configuration (ie: forces 1003 or 
more).


The .mdp file looks like this:

; VARIOUS PREPROCESSING OPTIONS =
title=
cpp  = /lib/cpp
include  =
define   = -DFLEXIBLE

; RUN CONTROL PARAMETERS =
integrator   = l-bfgs
; start time and timestep in ps =
tinit= 0
dt   = 0.001
nsteps   = 100
rlist= 0.4
rcoulomb = 0.4
rvdw = 0.4

; ENERGY MINIMIZATION OPTIONS =
emtol= 0.1
emstep   = 0.1
nstcgsteep   = 1000

I've used steep and l-bfgs, the latter of which seems to be slightly more 
effective but even so if I try to run an MD on the system from the 
configuration I get this error:


Program mdrun, VERSION 3.3.1
Source code file: nsgrid.c, line: 226

Range checking error:
Explanation: During neighborsearching, we assign each particle to a grid
based on its coordinates. If your system contains collisions or parameter
errors that give particles very high velocities you might end up with some
coordinates being +-Infinity or NaN (not-a-number). Obviously, we cannot
put these on a grid, so this is usually where we detect those errors.
Make sure your system is properly energy-minimized and that the potential
energy seems reasonable before trying again.

Variable ci has value -2147483648. It should have been within [ 0 .. 280 ]
Please report this to the mailing list (gmx-users@gromacs.org)


NB: We are using V 3.3.1 of gromacs.

Please help!

I have one question regarding the output of g_sas. 

In the area.xvg file that includes the hydrophobic,hydrophilic and total

what is kind of energy (is it the total solvatation energy?) and what are the

[gmx-users] pdbgmx warning long bond

2007-01-24 Thread maite lopez

Dear Gromacs Users,

I am trying to simulate a peptide in explicit lipid bilayer membrane
environment (say, DPCC). I took well equilibrated dppc.pdb file from
Dr. Peter tieleman site and  i modified it put in the names of the
atoms of the ffG53a5.rtp file . I changed DPPC x DPP in ffG53a5.rtp
file. But when  executing pdb2gmx ( pdb2gmx_331 -f input.pdb -o
output.gro -p output.top -i output.itp -ffG53a5 -water spc -ignh) i
've gived some errors.
The long bonds are in the atoms of the membrane. Why it could be?
Could anybody give me a pointer to a  more elaborated protocol in
setting up and running this type of  simulation using gromacs? This is
my first simulation.

This is my output.pdb2gmx_331 file:

Re: [gmx-users] How to implement dihedral restraints

2007-01-24 Thread David Mobley

Hi,


The test I ran was just rotating a side chain of an amino acid residue
over one of its dihedral angle 360 degrees with dihre_fc = 8000.


OK. I was doing a val sidechain.


I originally thought fc = 8000kJ/mol unit^2 would give fluctuation of
about the half the unit size since I use fc = 8000kJ/mol nm^2 for 0.5A spacing.
But, after I thought twice about it, it would be fc = 80kJ/moml nm^2, for 0.5nm 
spacing...
So, after I realized that, kJ/mol rad^2 made sense to me and my test run's 
fluctuation
(about several degress = 1/20 rad = about 3 degrees)


OK. I was doing my valine sidechain with about 26 umbrellas using
force constants ranging from around 100 kJ/mol*rad^2 to 500
kJ/mol*rad^2 (bigger force constants when the PMF is steep). I wish I
had an adaptive scheme for picking force constants, but I just did
this by trial and error to get good overlap with as small a number of
umbrellas as possible.

I guess the other way is what it sounds like you're talking about
doing -- just put umbrellas with tight springs every couple degrees.

It is probably important to make a plot of your binned dihedral angles
at the end to make sure you have sufficient overlap.

[gmx-users] MD Error after adding a unnatural amio acid

2007-01-24 Thread yuemin liu
Hi Everyone,

I once talked about this before and have new problem
now. The new group was successfully attached to the
protein, but problem comes during the process of MD.
The error messages are always like the following with
either new linkage broken or a neighboring Hydrogen
flying away. Parameters except for partial charge are
perfectly okay. The partial charges from HF
calculations even made it worse, because of different
scheme with gmx. I also tried to partition the new
bulky group into small fragments when T-coupling, but
did not help. I am wondering what the reasons are. Is
the new group too big? What is the alternative to
assign partial charge in gmx other than PRODRG?

Wishes,

Liu, Yuemin

Re: [gmx-users] generation of a box of water

2007-01-24 Thread Robert Johnson

I think you are getting that error about NaN because you have water
molecules that are almost exactly on top of one another.

If you just want a box of water, the easiest way to do it is this:

genbox -cs -o water.pdb -box x y z

Here, x y and z are the box dimensions in nanometers. You can play
with the box dimensions to get close to the desired number of waters.

Hi,

I am trying to generate a box of purely water molecules (101 molecules)
using the following commands:

/usr/local/gromacs/bin/genbox -cp box.pdb -ci spc216 -o water.pdb -nmol 101

(I've also tried using tip5p but have the same problem.)

box.pdb looks like this:

The box that is generated has too many close contacts... Even after energy
minimization, there are atoms too close together. I've played around with
-seed, varying between 20 and 2050 but whatever value I use, the system
will not minimise to a sensible enough configuration (ie: forces 1003 or
more).

The .mdp file looks like this:

; VARIOUS PREPROCESSING OPTIONS =

; ENERGY MINIMIZATION OPTIONS =
emtol= 0.1
emstep   = 0.1
nstcgsteep   = 1000

I've used steep and l-bfgs, the latter of which seems to be slightly more
effective but even so if I try to run an MD on the system from the
configuration I get this error:

Program mdrun, VERSION 3.3.1
Source code file: nsgrid.c, line: 226

Range checking error:
Explanation: During neighborsearching, we assign each particle to a grid
based on its coordinates. If your system contains collisions or parameter
errors that give particles very high velocities you might end up with some
coordinates being +-Infinity or NaN (not-a-number). Obviously, we cannot
put these on a grid, so this is usually where we detect those errors.
Make sure your system is properly energy-minimized and that the potential
energy seems reasonable before trying again.

Variable ci has value -2147483648. It should have been within [ 0 .. 280 ]
Please report this to the mailing list (gmx-users@gromacs.org)


NB: We are using V 3.3.1 of gromacs.

Re: [gmx-users] problem regarding pbc

2007-01-24 Thread N.Goga

Tsjerk,

 Your problem is met also when we tried to install 
gromacs3.3. The administrator pf the HPC cluster tries to 
find a solution. If not, I will fix a meeting with him. 
Between I might try myself some other variants.

Hi Sangeeta,

To start with, you don't really describe a problem 
regarding pbc, as
you've stated in the subject. Please make the subject 
reflect your
problem or question directly. This will make it easier 
on the repliers
on this list to check whether they can be of any help. 
Most of us

read/discard messages based on the subject.

Now, you have three questions, which you've stated 
before, but
apparently the answers were not informative enough. To 
start with the
pbc, gromacs uses pbc unless explicitly stated 
otherwise, by adding

pbc=no in the .mdp file.

Regarding the chlorides, I think you caught that you 
have to have an
#include statement in the .top file, reading #include 
ions.itp. The
next thing to make sure is that the name you've used for 
your chloride
ions in the .top file matches those in the file ions.itp 
listed for
the force field you are using. It may be CL, Cl, Cl-. 
You can try

either or you can check the file ions.itp in your
$GMXDIR/share/gromacs/top directory.

Finally, regarding dssp, please explain what you tried to 
do, i.e.
which command you've issued. Note that the file you 
mentioned is

merely a temporary file.

Hope it helps,

Tsjerk

[gmx-users] compile Gromacs 3.2.1: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'

2007-01-24 Thread Mike Hanby
I'm trying to compile Gromacs 3.2.1 (a user requested this version
specifically). The configure succeeds, however make fails with:

/bin/sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'

/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file

 

The system is a 64bit RHEL 4 workstation, I'm using Intel Compilers: v

Re: [gmx-users] MD Error after adding a unnatural amio acid

2007-01-24 Thread Tsjerk Wassenaar

Hi Liu yuemin,

Now I haven't got a clue of what you're trying to do!
Okay, add a new group somewhere and do MD...

First of all, what is the group you're talking about? How did you link
it. You mention the linkage being broken, but you're not doing QM;
bonds stay bonds, but may go well out of bounds. Did you perform
energy minimization? Did you check the stability of the group alone in
solution?
You talk about different groups for temperature coupling? Maybe give
the tc_coupl related lines from the .mdp files? Note that you
shouldn't couple such a group separately. Or do you mean charge
groups? Please try to be clear on such things.
Anyway, at this point the partial charges seem to be the least of your
worries (unless you have a collection of -1,+1 or worse stuck
together). I suspect your trouble is related to the building block.

Cheers,

Tsjerk

system of 100K atoms the setup and processing for mdrun_mpi (grompp's 
trjconv's g_desort's etc.) took me 30sec. For a system of 750K atoms the 
time was 90sec.


Benifits:
When running in 200ps segments on NP=4 in single precision I get a 
speedup of about 1.4 times vs without -shuffle and speedup of 1.15 times 
vs. with shuffle but without sort. It is only with sort that my scaling 
to NP=4 or NP=16 matches the gromacs benchmarks.


Testing:
1. I have run 20 x 20ps mdrun_mpi iteratively using -shuffle -sort and 
this g_desort program and the system looks normal.. no quantitative 
test though.
2. I have compared the -deshuf.ndx file produced by grompp to a g_desort 
output .ndx file (both produced using -shuffle but not -sort) and they 
match exactly.


I have not posted this tool to the uploads section since I don't want 
anybody to run into unexpected problems in case it is incorrect since it 
affects the mdrun directly.


I welcome any suggestions for ways to test if this is correct. Also, if 
anybody has some long-time sorted trajectories out there then they could 
use this to recover individual positions and follow their favourite 
water molecule. If anybody does do this, please post something about 
your success.


This was written from template.c and compilation of this program is done 
similarly.


Before using this, please read the static char *desc[] = { completely. 
Especially for the warnings that discuss what number your index files 
begin with and the exact implementation that is a bit of a hassle based 
on the order that grompp does things but it can all be scripted.

   g_desort takes two coordinate files as input and outputs a .ndx 
file that ,

   can be used to properly sort/shuffle or desort/deshuffle. ,
   The -f option takes two coordinate files as input and the order is 
important: ,
   the first file is the desired order and the second file is the 
current order. ,
   To desort coordinates g_desort -f unsorted.gro sorted.gro and to 
resort ,
   coordinates g_desort -f sorted.gro unsorted.gro. In order to use 
the -sort option ,
   of grompp you will only need to desort your trajectory and g_desort 
makes this trivial. ,

   However, the benifit of sorting ,
   decreases over time as the particles move away from their sorted 
positions. Therefore ,
   regular re-sorting is desirable. The usage section below describes 
how to do this. ,
   The basic idea is to pre-sort the .trr file for loading into grompp 
based on a resort ,
   .ndx file generated by g_desort after a preliminary grompp without 
the .trr. An additional ,
   sorting step is added to ensure that the grompp sorting did not 
change based on the loaded i,
   .trr file. The mdrun in then completed and desorted prior to 
starting again. \n,

Re: [gmx-users] MD Error after adding a unnatural amio acid

2007-01-24 Thread yuemin liu
Hi Tsjerk Wassenaar,

I am trying to build a protein with a non-standard
amino acid by adding (covalent bond, this is what I
mean by linkage ) a bulky group (163 atoms) to the
side chain of an existing natural amino acid of wild
type protein. Energy minimization of the modified
protein had been performed in gas phase and solvent.
The solvent and whole system were also minimized and
equilibrated at different temperatures before MD
simulation. During MD, either the covalent I build or
its neighboring one got broken, and the simulation
terminated. Minimizations could not had been done if
building block is a problem, right? Following is the
line in my mdp file:
tc-grps  = Protein_A ASO_A ASO_B SOL
NA CL

Thanks,

Liu, Yuemin

 Hi Liu yuemin,
 
 Now I haven't got a clue of what you're trying to
 do!
 Okay, add a new group somewhere and do MD...
 
 First of all, what is the group you're talking
 about? How did you link
 it. You mention the linkage being broken, but you're
 not doing QM;
 bonds stay bonds, but may go well out of bounds. Did
 you perform
 energy minimization? Did you check the stability of
 the group alone in
 solution?
 You talk about different groups for temperature
 coupling? Maybe give
 the tc_coupl related lines from the .mdp files? Note
 that you
 shouldn't couple such a group separately. Or do you
 mean charge
 groups? Please try to be clear on such things.
 Anyway, at this point the partial charges seem to be
 the least of your
 worries (unless you have a collection of -1,+1 or
 worse stuck
 together). I suspect your trouble is related to the
 building block.
 
 Cheers,
 
 Tsjerk

Re: [gmx-users] MD Error after adding a unnatural amio acid

2007-01-24 Thread Mark Abraham
 Hi Everyone,

 I once talked about this before and have new problem
 now. The new group was successfully attached to the
 protein, but problem comes during the process of MD.
 The error messages are always like the following with
 either new linkage broken or a neighboring Hydrogen
 flying away. Parameters except for partial charge are
 perfectly okay.

Well, actually these symptoms would tend to indicate that the new bonding
topology is not okay :-)

 The partial charges from HF
 calculations even made it worse, because of different
 scheme with gmx. I also tried to partition the new
 bulky group into small fragments when T-coupling, but
 did not help.

No, don't do that! In the vast majority of cases, you only want coupling
groups for (e.g.) surface, solvent, membrane, solute... not ions or other
little bits of stuff.

 I am wondering what the reasons are. Is
 the new group too big? What is the alternative to
 assign partial charge in gmx other than PRODRG?

The only reasonable method is to use a method similar to that which
designed the partial charges in the original force field, and then to
verify that those charges lead to reasonable simulations. Anything else
could be just so much fiction :-)

I would go back and assemble the topology of this thing piece by piece,
verifying at each stage that you have structural integrity... the stepwise
process will help you find where the real problem is, if an inspection of
the topology doesn't work in the first place!

Mark
