 What could be the problem here?  Is this just some simple formatting
error that I've missed?  I have run simulations before, and everything seemed
to work out fine.  The run above is simply the same files from the successful
simulation copied into a new directory with a few alterations made to the mdp
file.  If my other files still run, why are essentially the same files not
recognized when put into a new directory?



maybe you have a DOS formatted file? try dos2unix or something like that.

what platform are you running on?

I have a modified version of trjconv to extract velocities from a .trr and

[gmx-users] human readable input for g_covar

Hi: 
I am involving in a project to analyse the vibrational spectrum of a peptide. i 
am trying to do covariance analysis with  the velocity data in a .trr file 
using g_covar, since it doesn't take velocity by default, my plan is to output

program wouldn't take human readable input either. it is there a easy way to 
translate the data back to .trr format or it is there a different way to do 
this task?

[gmx-users] (no) superlinear Scaling on Opterons

2007-10-03 Thread Jens Krueger
Hello,

there have been multiple reports on the list of superlinear scaling on
AMD Opterons of the 200 series.

We have recently purchased a small cluster with the following
configuration for each compute node:
- 2x Opteron 2218 (4 cores per node)
- 2 GB RAM
- Supermicro H8DM8 mainboard
- Mellanox PCI-E x8 Infiniband (running with OFED-1.2 and mvapich2)
- Rockscluster 4.3
- Gromacs-3.3.1


For the DPPC benchmark we achieve the following numbers:

cores ns/day speedup

01 0.289 1.00
02 0.487 1.69
04 0.768 2.66
08 1.330 4.60
12 1.776 6.15
16 2.137 7.39
20 2.550 8.82


Compared to the benchmark section
(http://www.gromacs.org/content/view/25/38/) and other published data
(e.g. http://biowulf.nih.gov/apps/gromacs/bench-3.3.1.html) the
performance drops to soon when using more cpu's. In fact we are far away
from superlinear scaling and the performance on 20 cores is only half as
good as on the biowulf cluster.
We systematically checked the hardware and tried different compiler and
MPI, all giving no or only minor improvement.

Has anybody hands on an Opteron cluster with cpu's from the 2000 series?
It would be of immense value for us to get reference data from a similar
machine.


Thanks,

Jens

Correction: multiple copies of an ion present in the .pdb file input into
pdb2gmx come out multiple times in the .top file (even though the ion is in
ions.itp), at least for a case in which they're not distinguished by chain
id from the rest.

With regard to the box, that you are dealing with a planar system might,
again, make a difference here; this is not my area, however.

However, in this case, the original poster has not only edited down the
solvent, but the bilayer. I am reasonably certain that if I put in more than
one copy of something which is in a .rtp file and _not_ in, say, ions.itp,
then it will be in both times in the .top file (after all, two
different-position glycines are in twice in the .top file...). There may be
some dependence on chain labels from the original .pdb file, however, from
observations; I suppose that it's possible that it would partially depend on
whether the name is in aminoacid.dat or something like that, although that
seems a bit weird. It doesn't sound like the original poster is using
something that's in an .itp file that the original poster has constructed.

-Allen

P.S. Incidentally, I note the irritating habit of pdb2gmx (including in
3.3.2) of converting what is already labeled as SOL to HOH, even though
genbox inserts water molecules as SOL.

[gmx-users] Re: getting a good .gro file from a pdb file while the topology is ready

2007-10-03 Thread maria goranovic
 Thank you all for the replies and help. The main reason I was messing with
pdb2gmx, editconf and genbox was mainly to convert my pdb into a nice .gro
format file, which I could input into grompp. I understand grompp can take a
pdb file for input as well. Does it not need any "box" information, like the
box type, or the dimensions ? If it can infer these directly from the pdb,
or these details can be specified in the .mdp file then my problems are
solved.

I will look more carefully into the -h ..

Thank you !

-Maria

RE: [gmx-users] protein in membrane

2007-10-03 Thread Itamar Kass
Shalom,

The easy way is to remove lipids such that a hole in the membrane will form, 
put your protein in in run. Or you can try the protocol in Faraldo-Gomez, J. 
D., Smith, G. R., and Sansom, M. S. (2002) "Setting up and optimization of 
membrane protein  
simulations. European Biophysics Journal" 31(3), 217-227.

You will probably need mdrun_make_hole.tar.gz which is used as a modifier of 
gromacs 3.1.4.

Best,
Itamar

[gmx-users] grompp not recognizing mdp file parameters

2007-10-03 Thread toma0052
Hello,
 It seems that I am having a problem in that grompp is not recognizing
the parameters that I enter into an mdp file, nor is it recognizing the text
in the .top file.  When I run a simulation, the output that I get is as
follows:

Program grompp, VERSION 3.3.1

Fatal error:
number of coordinates in coordinate file (area_1.03_1.gro, 17365)
 does not match topology (dppc.top, 0)
---

 What could be the problem here?  Is this just some simple formatting
error that I've missed?  I have run simulations before, and everything seemed
to work out fine.  The run above is simply the same files from the successful
simulation copied into a new directory with a few alterations made to the mdp
file.  If my other files still run, why are essentially the same files not
recognized when put into a new directory?

Thanks,
Mike

This is because the pdb file truncates the name of your DPPC
(I guess) molecules. just edit the pdb file you have and change
the "DPP " to "DPPC". in vi you can do this by typing:
:1,$ s/DPP /DPPC/

then editconf would allwo you to get a gro file but the pdb should
be ok.


Q1. How do I add my topology file to the database ?


you have it already.


Q2. The second question is regarding the use of genbox and editconf. How can
I specify the box size such that no more solvent is added to the system ?


just add the box size at the end of the gro file.


Using the following two options adds more solvent to the system, which I do
not really need

% editconf -f solvated-fully-vmd.pdb -box 12.3 12.3 17.3 -angles 90 90 90
-bt triclinic -o input.gro -c -center 0 0 0
% genbox -cp input.gro -o output.gro -cs spc216.gro


no need.


I chose the box size based on the maximum and minimum coordinates of the
heavy atoms of the system. Does one have to do the above procedure by
iteratively changing the box size until genbox adds no more solvent ?


just add the box size at the end of the gro file:
boxX boxX boxZ



Please do not be  ruthless, I am new to gromacs :)

Well, as above, you don't need it. Otherwise, you need to read chapter 5

I don't understand your objective. If you don't want to add more

Using the following two options adds more solvent to the system, which I 
do not really need


% editconf -f solvated-fully-vmd.pdb -box 12.3 12.3 17.3 -angles 90 90

I chose the box size based on the maximum and minimum coordinates of the

Hydrogen takes up volume too... your equilibration will be less 
troublesome if your whole system "fits" at the start of the equilibration.


It sounds like it might be worth your while reading the introductory 
part of pdb2gmx -h, editconf -h, genbox -h, etc. so you have an idea 
what each tool is trying to do. Following a recipe without appreciating 
what you're doing is fine, until you go to change the recipe, which is 
what you're trying to do here. :-)

What is DPP? Perhaps it's under another name in the original .top and .gro
files, in which case you should change the name in the .pdb file input to
that name?

I tend to use -princ, to align the longest axis of the input with the
longest axis of the box (17.3 in your case). Not sure if that would be
advisable with a bilayer system, however.

Do heavy atoms include the oxygens in the waters? If so, then I would think
that that should be an adequate size (I trust you allowed for gromacs using
nanometers while PDB files use angstroms?); I would suspect things would be
too crowded otherwise. However, if you use -princ, you will probably need to
check to see exactly what dimensions it comes out to have prior to putting
it into the box, since it may align it differently than it is already
aligned.

>Does one have to do the above procedure by
>iteratively changing the box size until genbox adds no more solvent ?

If you don't want more solvent added, don't use genbox. The question will be
how to do this while making sure you don't have any vacuum spaces.

Hello Mark and Tsjerk, Thanks a lot for your suggestions. I have gone

No. The numerical equations are well-defined whether or not you 
minimize. Whether the system is numerically or physically stable is 
another matter, and things could fairly easily take many picoseconds to 
nanoseconds in a feedback loop to get bad enough to cause LINCS warnings.


The website can't be more specific, because proper system preparation is 
a bit of dark art and system-dependent.


I have searched in the archive, when somebody had similar problem with 
PR run David suggested to look for the "center-of-mass motion removal", 
to give POPC+Protein, but I dont have POPC in my system. In another case 
advised to reduce the time step, does it mean that I should reduce the 
time step from 0.002 to 0.001 and do the simulations from the beginning?


Yes. Making the integration time step smaller can help you relax away 
from bad numerical space into good ones... once equilibrated you can 
then try relaxing the time step back to 2fs.


Another suggestion was the computing power may not be sufficient, but I 
don't think this will be applicable for me, b'se I am running in 8 nodes 
each node is with 4 processors, and the unit cell size is ~96000 atoms 
in total.
 
What could be the most appropriate way to solve this problem?  Many 
thanks in  advance!


Find a reasonable equilibration protocol in the literature for a system 
similar to yours, try it out, and experiment.

Hi, unfortunately I can't see this option in g_rms.
I'm using the v 3.3.1 and also on the reference page online there is not
-Rmat. Am i missing something?

Re: [gmx-users] mdrun error after 2.6nS

2007-10-03 Thread Tsjerk Wassenaar
Hi Blaise,

Check for the first occurrence of the error in the log file and match the
atom numbers against your .gro file to see which residue is involved from
the beginning. Also, do you have non-standard residues/metal ions? Tell more
about the system and what you're trying to do.

Best,

Tsjerk

So does the -Rmat option not produce a human-readable text file?

the -h option is my standard first step when i use all the gmx-tools and I've 
read and done it like every time.
I've tried to use -f2 option without using the -s and it comes out with the 
error "topol.tpr not found" so it's not "so optional", but it's needed also 
when using the -f2 option..
I've alsto tried to use the -s with my traj without using the -f2 option but it 
creates a matrix 2200x2200.
However the problem still remain unsolved or misunderstanded.
If i use the my only working command line
g_rms -f 2200.pdb -f2 33.pdb -s ref.pdb -n -o -m -bin 

I obtain a rmsd.xvg with 2 columns. So, which is the meaning of that value? a 
mean of all the rmsd calculated for that frame in respect to the other 33 refs?
Thanks

There's an option to g_rms that writes a text matrix for importing into

Then you have to do as it says and check the files in for example

have to change the maxwarn parameter in the gmxtest.pl script.

these errors could indeed be related to the version differences. 3.3.1
is correct except for some funky bonded potential though.

Re: [gmx-users] g_order in GROMACS 3.3.2 and 3.3.1

2007-10-03 Thread Justin A. Lemkul
The g_order tool requires a unique sort of index group.  There's lots of
discussion about it documented in the list archives.  In short, you need to use
make_ndx to generate an index file that contains _only_ groups pertaining to the
carbon atoms you want to analyze, separated by chain (i.e., sn1.ndx/sn2.ndx). 
Each atom type should be in a separate group.

Hello, gmx developer and users:

  After modifying the source code of g_order in GROMACS 3.3.1 with Bug #84 
and compiling again, I got the error message when using g_order to calculate 
order parameteters of POPC bilayer.
  The error message is : grp 1 does not have same number of elements as 
grp1.
  Command line about generating .ndx file and using g_order are listed 
below :

  make_ndx -f  XXX.pdb -o index.ndx  (XXX.pdb is the original 
structure of the system)  (I chose system or POP as my index group)
  
  g_order  -f YYY.pdb -n index.ndx -s ZZZ.tpr -o -od 


   It will be gotten the same error message when using GROMACS 3.3.2 
version.

   Is something wrong in my process ?

   Thank you.___

Hi and thanks for answering to my previous question.
Now I'm calculating the rmsd between two trajectories (-f2 option).
One is made by 2200 frames and the other has 33 frames..Now I've some
doubt about the output (rmsd.xvg), cause this file has only two columns
with 2200 rows ...i was imaging that it should have 2200 rows and 33
columns, am I wrong? 


You should be getting such a 2200x33 matrix. My guess is that the 
command line or files that you're using are not what you think they are :-)



The second question is something that is already been asked before..it
could be usefull to obtain the matrix 2200 x 33 in a human readable
file. Is it possible without hacking the code? Perhaps using external
scripts? 


There's a human readable matrix form that can already be written. Check 
out g_rms -h
