Read how OPLS was parameterized and do something consistent with that. 
Anything else is random number generation (and even this might be!)

[gmx-users] error estimates of free energy calculations

2007-05-10 Thread Jeroen van Bemmelen
Dear GROMACS users,

To test my protocol, I have been trying to reproduce some of Berk 
Hess's hydration free energy results from his 2006 paper (J. Phys. 
Chem. B 110, 17616-17626, 2006). Although my obtained average free 
energies are quite comparable, my error estimates are much higher 
than the errors reported in that paper. I'd like to figure out what's 
causing this difference in accuracy, because I really need optimal 
accuracy for my future calculations.

I'm using GROMACS 3.3.1, the G53a6 force field and 3.0 nm 
dodecahedron simulation boxes with ~631 SPC waters. After 
mimimization and 500 ps of equilibration for each of the 21 equally 
spaced lambda-values, I simulated 5 ns for the propane, phenylalanine 
and asparagine analogues. Theoretically, this should give me a 
significantly better accuracy than the paper's 500 ps production runs 
(approx. 1/sqrt(10) times better).

Below the .mdp file I used for te production run of the solvated 
system:

=== .mdp file ===
; RUN CONTROL PARAMETERS
integrator   = sd
dt   = 0.002
nsteps   = 250
comm_mode= none

; OUTPUT CONTROL OPTIONS
nstxout  = 5
nstvout  = 5
nstfout  = 5
nstlog   = 5
nstxtcout= 100

; NEIGHBORSEARCHING PARAMETERS
nstlist  = 5

; OPTIONS FOR ELECTROSTATICS AND VDW
coulombtype  = pme
rvdw = 1.4

; OPTIONS FOR WEAK COUPLING ALGORITHMS
tc_grps  = system
tau_t= 1.0
ref_t= 298.15
pcoupl   = berendsen
tau_p= 0.5
compressibility  = 4.5e-5
ref_p= 1.01325

; OPTIONS FOR BONDS
constraints  = all-bonds

; FREE ENERGY CONTROL STUFF
free_energy  = yes
init_lambda  = 0.00
sc_alpha = 0.6
sc_power = 1.0
sc_sigma = 0.28
=== end of .mdp file ===

For the in vacuo simulations a similar protocol was used, but without 
pbc and cutoffs. The error estimates of the in vacuo run were 
negligibly small compared to those of the solvated system.

To the best of my knowledge, the only real difference in parameters 
is the pressure coupling. The paper uses stochastic pressure coupling 
which is not available in standard GROMACS 3.3.1. But I doubt that 
that should make this much of a difference.

My results in kJ/mol:
Val: 8.0 +/- 0.3
Phe: -1.9 +/- 0.6
Asn: -47.0 +/- 0.6

When I limt my calculation to the first 500 ps of my production runs, 
to be able to compare them directly to the paper's results, it 
unsurprisingly gets even worse (paper's results in parentheses):
Val: -7.7 +/- 1.0   (7.8 +/- 0.2)
Phe: -1.7 +/- 2.0   (-2.0 +/- 0.3)
Asn: -47.1 +/- 1.7   (-43.1 +/- 0.3)

My averages and error estimates for each lamda value were calculated 
with the -ee option of g_analyze (a block average fitting procedure, 
similar to the paper). The average free energies and total error 
estimates for each lambda-value were integrated with g_analyze -
integrate -xydy.

My accuracy is also significantly worse than the ones reported in A. 
Villa, J Comput Chem 23, 548-553, 2002 and J. Maccallum, J Comput 
Chem 24, 1930-1935, 2003. And it doesn't even come near to the 
extraordinary accuracy reported by Michael Shirts in his papers (who 
btw also uses 5 ns runs).

I read the recent discussion on this list about error estimation of 
free energie calulations (starting with 
http://www.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-users/2007-May/027237.html). But 
since I'm trying to reproduce Berk's results, also using the same 
error estimation procedure, I don't think that discussion gives a 
good explanation for my deviations.

Does somebody have a clue why my error estimates consistently are 
approx. 6 times worse? Am I doing something totally wrong here, 
either during simulation or during analysis? Should my error 
estimates be divided by some number that I'm not aware of?

I know this is a rather detailed question, but I really hope someone 
can help me with this. 

Many thanks in advance,
Jeroen

[gmx-users] Re: Parameterizing a force field (Mark Abraham)

2007-05-10 Thread Lee-Ping
Thank you both for the response!  I looked at the -j option in mdrun,
but it looks like that has about as much documentation as ffscan (i.e.
none at all).  I also fruitlessly checked the mailing list archives for
the past year and a half; there are some questions about ffscan, but
none of which contained instructions on how to run it.  

The next step is to look inside the gromacs source code, but there are a
lot of different files and I'm not sure as to which pieces of source
code describe how the input files are parsed.  If you could tell me
which files to look at, I would appreciate it a lot.  Thanks again!

Specifically:
1) What piece of code do I look at to see how mdrun parses the wham.gct
file (turned on by the -j switch)?
2) Which file describes how ffscan parses its inputs?

Also: If ffscan performs a grid scan, is it really able to fit 100+
parameters in a reasonable period of time (couple of hours)?  Would a
numerical optimization procedure for the parameters be a possible
improvement over this?

[gmx-users] Regarding conversion of C6/C12 parameters to sigma/epsilon

2007-05-10 Thread Chris Neale

I assume that you are talking about the [ nonbons_params ] section from 
lipid.itp.

To answer this question requires an understanding of what information is contained in the [ nonbond_params ] section (A) generally, 
and (B) in lipid.itp


The answer to (A) is in the manual and the mailing list

For the answer to (B) look at the lipid.itp file. First there is a section that 
describes lipid-lipid parameters.
Feel free to convert them and include them if you want but you can take care of 
that simply by using the default comb-rule 3 from oplsaa.
To check that out for yourself check some of the combinations in that section 
vs the rule for comb-rule 3.

Next there is a section that begins with the comment ";; paramaters for lipid-GROMOS interactions". 
You obviously don't want any of those from the lipid-GROMOS section if you are using oplsaa 
(in fact it would be a disaster to include them.) 


Next there is a section that begins with the comment ";; lipid-SPC/SPCE 
interactions".
This section is treated similarly.

Therefore the simple answer is: Ignore them.

I have seen your (many) posts of this question but I have been too busy to 
reply until now.
Chris.

--- original message ---

 I have one doubt regarding conversion of
C6/C12 parameters to sigma /epsilon. 
I added atomtypes, pairtypes and dihedraltypes from

lipid.itp to ffoplsaanb.itp---after changing C6/C12
paramters to sigma/epsilon as given in mailing list
(http://www.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-users/2006-May/021416.html
). 


My questions are
(1) Is it also required to do conversion of C6/C12
parameters of “nonbond_params“to sigma/epsilon and
adding these parameters from lipid.itp to
ffoplsaanb.itp.

(2) If it is not required to convert” nonbond_params”
parameters, is it required to call these parameters
without conversion.

  Any suggestion is appreciated, thank
you in advance.

you are right, that's what happened! I set up the protein with the Gromos96

Hi Anna,

Your input files did not come through.  However, it might be possible
you are using two different forcefields unintentionally?  In the
tutorial, we use the gromacs forcefield (ffgmx or pdb2gmx -ff gmx).
Perhaps you have used a different forcefield?  The prodrg site creates
ffgmx itp files.  The prodrg beta site creates Gromos96 itp files.  It's
easy to mix these up because the output is so similar.

This may be the case. However if not, I suggest you use the PRODRG beta 
server (top right hand corner on the main page) to produce output files 
for a more appropriate forcefield.


I have generated and used files successfully using the beta server in 
the ff43a1.

2007-05-10 Thread Mitchell Stanton-Cook

You appear to have found this mailing list fine.

I would suggest the gromacs manual on the gromacs website. This provides 
an introduction to MD topics and theory. This manual also provides 
references for literature of both historical and general importance in 
the field.


There are plenty of tutorials also available. Search tools are your friend.

the PDB coordinates of the complex, I extracted the coordinates of the
ligand and created a .itp file for the ligand using the PRODRG server. Then
I submitted the protein alone to pdb2gmx, and then I manually edited the
.pdb and the .top files in order to re-introduce the coordinates of the
ligand into the protein. Therefore, I opened the .pdb file of the protein
created by pdb2gmx, and pasted the coordinates of the ligand obtained by
PRODRG (changing the n. of residue to continue numbering), and I edited the
.top file by adding #include "lig.itp" in the ff statement, LIG in the [
molecules ] section etc. Then I created the box with editconf, solvated it
with genbox and started grompp before neutralizing the -5 charge of the
protein with genion.
The grompp output gave me a fatal error:

Source code file: toputil.c, line 61
FATAL ERROR: ATOMTYPE 'CH3' NOT FOUND



There is nothing wrong in you procedure. For the moment, proDRG outputs 
atom types for the deprecated gromacs force field (ffgmx). You need to 
alter these atom types in order to get the proper ones (i.e. the ones 
coming from the force field you're using).


In a first *rough* approach, you can compare the atom types presents in
share/gromacs/top/ffgmx.atp (the one you have from proDRG)
to
share/gromacs/top/ffG45a3.atp (for the force filed G45a3 for instance)

Please pay great attention to atom types since changing the atom does 
not provide a straight-forward conversion from the old FF to the new one.


Atom types are not everything, you'll need to check bonds, angles, 
dihedrals, and overall, if your ligand is correctly described with these 
modifications on the itp file.


I'll add a section on the wiki when it's up to be more explicit (kinda 
sort of updating the tutorial).


Note there is a proDRG beta 2.5 mentionning gromacs 96.1 but for now i 
have no idea about the forcefield used, its validation state, and my 
question to Dr. van Aalten about this beta server version has not been 
answered yet (if someone on the list has an explanation, i'm opened to 
explanations).


Cheers,
Stéphane

RE: [gmx-users] EM steep Total Energy

Subject: [gmx-users] EM steep Total Energy
Date: Thu, 10 May 2007 13:56:34 +0200 (CEST)

Dear GROMACS Developers,

I have noticed that while doing Steep Energy
Minimization, the Total Energy in the log file is
zero.
The potential energy is calculated as it should. In
Conjugate Gradient or MD the total energy is
calculated correctly.
Is this a bug or a feature?
I suppose that, under these circumstances, the total
energy in steep energy minimization equals the
potential energy.

Yours Sincerely,
Nikos


The same question was asked a month ago.
I would say it is neither a bug nor a feature.
Since there is no kinetic energy, there is nothing to sum into a total.
But to avoid questions like this I have added the total energy,
identical to the potential energy, for the next release.

Berk.

Hello,

   Thanks for your responses on the demux.pl script. I have some more 
basic questions on how to analyze an REMD simulation in Gromacs.


(1) How can I find the acceptance ratio? 


Look carefully at the output in the log file :-) You will need to do 
some averaging over log files if you ran more than one job for the 
simulation.


(2) Does anyone know how to
graph the temperature or potential energy of a single replica as a 
function of time?


Yup, write it down and graph it. :-)

Seriously, though, I (and doubtless others) have perl scripts that do 
tasks like these when fed a set of .log files. I'm not interested in 
following single replicas, so they wouldn't be any good to you unless 
you can modify them.


There were some van der Spoel scripts that he threatened to publish on 
the webpage a year or more ago... have they seen the light of day David?
