[gmx-users] water in lipid bilayer

2007-11-19 Thread N-J.M. Macaluso

Hi,

I'm performing a transmembrane protein simulation in an explicit DPPC 
bilayer. I manually removed the lipids to accomodate my protein and the 
system has undergone 15 ns of equilibration.


In removing the lipids, I a gap betwteen the protein and membrane resulted. 
Most of the lipid molecules aggregated around the protein, but I have found 
that on one side of the protein, there are some water molecules that have 
found their way between the protein and lipid bilayer. Is there any way of 
removing these by altering the simulation parameters, or will I have to 
remove them manually? I already constrained the waters in the z-direction 
at the start of the simulation, so that didn't work in this case.


Thanks for your time, I would appreciate any advice.

Max Macaluso

See http://wiki.gromacs.org/index.php/Membrane_Simulations... these 
waters may have been present in your initial structure.

This happened to me as well. Try increasing the force constants on
water by an order of magnitude.

Re: [gmx-users] water in lipid bilayer

2007-11-19 Thread N-J.M. Macaluso

Thanks for your response,

I'm sorry, but I didn't find any text on the membrane simulation page on 
the wiki. What I meant by constraining waters in the z-direction is that at 
the start of the simulation, I constrained waters in the z-direction so 
that they wouldn't fall into the gap between the protein and membrane. In 
my case, the gap was large enough that some waters made their way in. I'm 
just wondering what I could do to make sure that the lipids aggregate 
around the protein properly. Should I manually delete these waters, or will 
the waters eventually make their way out during the course of the 
simulation.


Many thanks,

Max

Re: [gmx-users] How to add calcium ions at desired position?

2007-11-19 Thread Justin A. Lemkul
Quoting liang [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

  Never couple solvent and ions separately.  Check out:

  http://wiki.gromacs.org/index.php/Thermostats

  Try tc-grps = Protein Non-protein

 excuse me, if the system includes lipid bilayer, how should i set the
 tc-prgs?
 Protein + Lipids + Sol and Ion?
 or Protein + Non-protein ?

I think either would work, but I've personally used protein, lipids, solvent +
ions.  As long as you're not coupling a very small amount of atoms/ions to its
own bath then you should avoid problems.

Do you mean constrain the force constants just in the z-direction? Keep in 
mind that the water is already in the gap, so it's now a matter of getting 
it out. Would constraining water in any direction accomplish this?

If the water is already in the gap, delete it, or move it out of the bilayer.

What I meant was: If you start the equilibration all over again, try
increasing the force constants of the restraints on water along the
bilayer normal.

it looks like you are are asking time frames that do not exist!
did you check the trajectory with gmxcheck?

Re: [gmx-users] trjconv does not work

2007-11-19 Thread Ran Friedman
What I meant is: do you save the trajectory every 0.1ps?

The problem seem to be that trjconv isn't able to find any frame between
t=0.1ps and t=0.2ps. So, if you save you data every 1ps, there's no data
in your .xtc file. This is why Xavier suggested to use gmxcheck, that
will tell you both how many steps you have in the xtc and what's the
timestep.

I agree that trjconv is more convenient than VMD for this.

Re: Re: [gmx-users] trjconv does not work

2007-11-19 Thread Alan Dodd
The length of your simulation is irrelevant, the frequency of frame output is.  
If you don't output frames at least 5x per picosecond, asking for the frames in 
a 0.1ps gap is not going to produce an output - because there probably won't be 
any.  Check your mdp.

[gmx-users] water in lipid bilayer

I am surprised that 15ns is not enough for those waters to leave on their own.
Are you doing anisotropic pressure coupling? If not then this is likely to
fix your problem.

Also, painful as it may be, I suggest starting over from scratch.
It is useful to use make_hole version of gromacs-3.1.2 (search
the list for how to get it and use it) or inflategro.

Finally, ///how many waters are we talking about? I///f you deeply believe that 
you have done everything correctly then I suggest at least considering the 
possibility that there is something interesting going on.

compile for Catamount with cc or 'ftn, and launch a job with yod. I'm 
getting a cannot compute sizeof int error from configure. Here is what I've 
done:

module load fftw/3.1.1
setenv CC linux-pgcc
setenv F77 linux-pgf77
setenv MPICC cc
setenv CFLAGS -tp k8-64 -fast -Mscalarsse
setenv FFLAGS -tp k8-64 -fast -Mscalarsse
setenv CPPFLAGS -I${FFTW_INC}
setenv LDFLAGS -L${FFTW_DIR}
./configure --enable-mpi --program-suffix=_mpi --prefix=/usr/local/usp/gromacs

Configure errors here:
checking for int... yes
checking size of int... configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (int)

Config.log output:
configure:7267: checking size of int
configure:7617: cc -o conftest -tp k8-64 -fast -Mscalarsse 
-I/opt/fftw/3.1.1/cnos/include -L/opt/fftw/3.1.1/cnos/lib conftest.c  5
/opt/xt-pe/1.5.52/bin/snos64/cc: INFO: catamount target is being used
conftest.c:
configure:7620: $? = 0
configure:7626: ./conftest
./configure: line 1:  5147 Segmentation fault  ./conftest$ac_exeext
configure:7629: $? = 139
configure: program exited with status 139

It appears configure is trying to run the MPI job with just
./conftest which doesn't work here (or on many other architectures). Is there 
another variable I should set to tell it to use yod to launch the binary? Or 
is there a way to skip the int check?

Thanks,
Chris

This is not an MPI compilation, unless your cc magically makes all 
targets MPI targets.



/opt/xt-pe/1.5.52/bin/snos64/cc: INFO: catamount target is being used
conftest.c:
configure:7620: $? = 0

What makes you think it's an MPI binary? How do you mean it doesn't work 
on many other architectures?

Not that I'm aware of.


Or is there a way to skip the int check?


configure does scores of such compile-and-test things, so you need to 
solve the underlying problem.

[gmx-users] Adding polarizability

2007-11-19 Thread Eric Shamay
Dear gromacs community,

I've been trying to switch over from AMBER and I'm running into a few issues
that the manual doesn't clarify well enough for me. Can anyone point me to
information on adding in polarizability to atoms? In amber it was a simple
matter of adjusting the frcmod file, but I can't find the location to add
that info in for gromacs. Additionally, what do I need to do in terms of the
run-parameters and topology/force-field to enable polarizability (the
equivalent in AMBER would be IPOL=1)?

Secondly, if I'm looking to use the flexible SPC water (a la Ferguson) I've
found that I can specify the '-water spc' option during the pdb2gmx
conversion while choosing the gromacs 53a6 force field (not sure that it
makes a difference), and I add in the -DFLEX_SPC keyword under the 'define'
section of the grompp.mdp run-parameter file. Is that all I need to do, or
is there a missing or incorrectly done step before I can actually use the
flexible SPC?

Lastly, I would also like to use the anharmonic (cubic) term for the OH
stretching as per ferguson. What do I need to do to enable this?

Thank you,

As Mark answered there is no out of thebox polarizability. AFAIK there 
is no complete force field like that in Amber either, only Tinker has one.

there is flexspc.itp with this model. There is also TIP4P/Flex.

probably the pdb file doesn't exist or you're not allowed to write in

[gmx-users] Why so many energy minimization and position restrained simulation steps?

2007-11-19 Thread Peggy Yao
Hi,

I am new to Gromacs. I am following this tutorial:
http://www.nmr.chem.uu.nl/~abonvin/tutorials/MD-Data/index.html. My
question is: why it has multiple steps of energy minimization and
position restrained simulation? Is that a common practice? What's the
key difference among these steps?

Thanks!

Re: [gmx-users] How to add calcium ions at desired position?

2007-11-19 Thread Peggy Yao
Thank all of you for the suggestions!

I then ran the procedures described at
(http://www.nmr.chem.uu.nl/~abonvin/tutorials/MD-Data/index.html),
where it adds water before energy minimization, and it also has
position restraint step. But when I came to the step:

grompp -f dyna/pr1_SOLV.mdp -po X_pr1.mdp -c X_em3.gro -r X_em3.gro -t
X_em3.trr -n X.ndx -p X.top -o X_pr1.tpr

mdrun -v -deffnm X_pr1

I got the following error:

---
Program mdrun, VERSION 3.3.2
Source code file: network.c, line: 437

Routine should not have been called:
gmx_sumi
---

I used exactly the same .mdp files as in the tutorial, with the only
modification in pr1.mdp to set T-coupling to Protein Non-Protein.

Does anybody know what might be the problem? Thanks!

Peggy

   Never couple solvent and ions separately.  Check out:

  excuse me, if the system includes lipid bilayer, how should i set the

  Protein + Lipids + Sol and Ion?
  or Protein + Non-protein ?

 I think either would work, but I've personally used protein, lipids, solvent +
 ions.  As long as you're not coupling a very small amount of atoms/ions to its
 own bath then you should avoid problems.

Re: [gmx-users] interaction energy of bulk TIP3P

2007-11-19 Thread sandeep somani
i see. i reran the trajectory with reaction field electrostatics and that
gave a more negative energy value which was closer to what i was expecting.

i guess the missing reciprocal space contributions explains this
discrepancy.

is there a way to get the full interaction energy with PME ?

thnx for the reply

  Hi All
 
  I simulated a cubic box of 2180 TIP3P water molecules using gmx 3.3 and
 PME
  for 400 ps and extracted the interaction energy of a randomly picked
 water
  molecule with rest of the system.
  Simulation was done at 298K and 1bar and usual procedure for generating
 a

  Average interaction energy reported in the log file was
  Epot (kJ/mol)Coul-SR  LJ-SR
WAT-rest   -8.13828e+011.21886e+01
 
  giving a total of  -8.13828e+01  + 1.21886e+01 = -69.194 kJ/mol
 
  Comparing with published numbers using other MD programs this should be
 in
  the range of -81 +/- 1 kJ/mol i.e. ~11 kJ/mol less.
 
  any clues on origin of this discrepancy ?  relevant .top , .mdp files
 are
  below.

 The PME algorithm does an approximation to the full periodic Coulomb
 summation, but does so with a calculation in direct space, as above, and
 another in reciprocal space, where your energy groups are not meaningful.
 So you're only getting the direct-space component of the interaction
 energy.

[gmx-users] How to specify .mdp file for position restrained simulation?

2007-11-19 Thread Peggy Yao
Hi,

How to specify the .mdp file in order to run position restrained
simulation? From the examples I found on the internet, it seems that
the only difference between the .mdp file for position restrained
simulation and the one for actual MD simulation is the simulation time
-- the position restrained simulation is much shorter. Is this
observation true in general?

If yes, usually, how long is enough for the position restrained simulation?

If not, how to specify the .mdp file for position restrained simulation then?

Thanks a lot!
