Re: [gmx-users] Fullerene simulation

2007-09-01 Thread Tsjerk Wassenaar
Hi Serdar,

The gromacs mailing list gives a hit on fullerene from earlier this
year. Also, a quick search on scholar.google.com
(http://scholar.google.nl/scholar?q=fullerene+gromacshl=enlr=btnG=Search)
also gives some hits.

 Dear all,

 Is anybody studied with fullerene MD simulation using gromacs before? (I
 searched in literature, unfortunately I couldn't find).

[gmx-users] Re: Measure contour area of bilayer undulation

2007-09-01 Thread Erik Lindahl

Hi,

On Aug 31, 2007, at 11:02 PM, Hwankyu Lee wrote:



Thank you very much for your suggestion in the gromacs forum, but I  
may not understand your explanation completely.  In the small  
bilayer, there is no fluctuation, so area/lipid can be calculated  
based on the cell dimensions.  But, in the big bilayer, area/lipid  
can be much larger than that obtained from XYarea/lipid number  
because of undulations.


First, try to keep the discussions on the list so the answers make it  
to the archive :-)


Could you explain more details about reasons that area/lipid in the  
big bilayer can be calculated better based on cell dimensions?


My point was rather the opposite - when people measure area/lipid in  
the lab on bilayer slabs there will be undulations present since they  
are typically not under tension. We discussed this with John Nagle a  
couple of years ago, and came to the conclusion that you should not  
try to compensate for it. This is one of the reasons you get more  
accurate results for larger systems.


If you still want to derive it (the error is in the order of 1%,  
IIRC) you should start with the works of Nagle  Safran!

 Subject: what is the force function for proper dihedrals
  To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

howdy,


i am guessing that you want a formula for the cartesian force on the
atoms involved in a 4-body bonded interaction that is parameterized by a
dihedral angle.  if so then all you have to do (of course) is to work
out a sort of nasty jacobian transforming the coordinates, but of course
it is kind of messy/cumbersome and easy to make a mistake.  the only
published place i know where they have the answer explicitly is in the
dl_poly manual, which you can find at
http://www.cse.scitech.ac.uk/ccg/software/DL_POLY/.  they work it out in
gory detail on page 18 of the manual (which is actually page 30 of the
pdf file).  i can't promise there are no typos there, but i think it is
quite likely correct.  i have explicitly checked their calculation for
valence angles, though this is considerably easier.  but at least this
would give you something to check against.  one warning in advance: the
dl_poly folks define vectors in the opposite convention from normal.
see in the figure that r_ij is the vector from i to j - whereas i would
have defined r_ij as the vector from j to i.


anyway, i hope this is helpful.  if this is what you wanted maybe you
could forward the info to the mailing list.  if not, sorry to cause you
any bother.



there is a conference proceedings specifying how gromacs does it, which 
is slightly more efficient than computing derivatives straight away. 
looking at the title I get slightly uncertain. I have the book in my 
office will have a look next week.

[gmx-users] r_list and r_coulomb values while using PME

2007-09-01 Thread OZGE ENGIN
Hi all,

I can not understand why it is required to take same values for  both r_list 
and r_coulomb parameters when using PME for calculation of electrostatic 
interactions?

I read archieve, and gromacs manual. In archieve, similar question had been 
posted, but not replied yet.

Thanks in advance

if rlist  rcoulomb you  will have a twin range interaction, meaning the 
atom pair interactions for distance between these two will be computed 
every nstlist steps only, while the interaction beyond rcoulomb will be 
computed at each time step. this will lead to bad energy conservation, 
since the force is not the derivative of the potential.

then the forces for a certain distance range are not computed at each

twin range does not conserve energy with cutoff or RF either. however 
you must always compromise between accuracy and computational cost, 
therefore in some cases twin range can be defended.
