Hi Tsjerk,
Yes, you are right. My protein has multiple subunits.  I have a original

checked the protein structure
in this tpr file. The subunits have no contact each other obviously, 
without jump in them and I can not see an intact protein. However, the 
structure in the frames  shows that there is a whole protein with jump.
Therefore, the structure in the tpr file is different from the structure 
in the first frame. The simulation is 30ns long and I am trying to 
calculate the rmsf between 20ns and 30ns. I removed the jumps in whole 
simulation(trjconv -f .xtc(.trr) -s ref1.tpr -pbc nojump) first and  got 
the nojump xtc file between 20ns and 30ns. The main difference between 
is the tpr file at 20ns(ref20.tpr) i used and two ways I have used to 
get it:
1)  used ref1.tpr and original trr file to get a tpr file at 20ns 
ref20.tpr by tpbconv.
2) used ref1.tpr and nojump trr file to get a tpr file at 20ns ref20.tpr 
by tpbconv.
then g_rmsf -f .xtc (nojump) -s ref20.tpr   -res is used to calculate 
the rmsf.
I take out part of the result below and the results are from two methods 
for same subunit.


What happens whan you overlay the two reference structures using 
g_confrms? Is it high RMSD?

Both reference structures and trajectories should be jump-free.

That is correct. And what do you mean with distance dependent 
dielectric? Divide by distance in Ångström?

Anyway this is easy to do in a table.

Re: [gmx-users] g_rmsf fitting

2008-01-04 Thread Tsjerk Wassenaar
Hi Tang,

The subunits have no contact each other obviously,
 without jump in them and I can not see an intact protein.


Please be more clear and try to write full, correct sentences. I suppose you
mean that the subunits are separated at start, so there has been a jump in
the setup stage.

However, the structure in the frames  shows that there is a whole protein
 with jump.
 Therefore, the structure in the tpr file is different from the structure
 in the first frame.


So (one of the) subunits occasionally jump(s) back and make the molecule
whole.

The simulation is 30ns long and I am trying to calculate the rmsf
 between 20ns and 30ns. I removed the jumps in whole simulation(trjconv
 -f .xtc(.trr) -s ref1.tpr -pbc nojump) first and  got the nojump xtc
 file between 20ns and 30ns.


Assuming that ref1.tpr corresponds to your starting structure, which has the
subunits separated, this means that you end up with a trajectory which has
the subunits separated consistently.


 The main difference between is the tpr file
 at 20ns(ref20.tpr) i used and two ways I have used to get it:
 1)  used ref1.tpr and original trr file to get a tpr file at 20ns
 ref20.tpr by tpbconv.


This reference may be of the correct complex (check it).

2) used ref1.tpr and nojump trr file to get a tpr file at 20ns ref20.tpr
 by tpbconv.


And this will have the subunits separated.


 then g_rmsf -f .xtc (nojump) -s ref20.tpr   -res is used to calculate
 the rmsf.


So the answer is in the structures (jump/nojump) and not in the way g_rmsf
performs the fit and calculates the rmsf. Try to make this line of thinking
your own and check the structures (references/selected frames from
trajectories) first whenever you encounter problems like this. This issue
has also been covered before, and I recall having posted a message on this
list regarding the correct use of references, fitting and -pbc options using
trjconv, which may be useful to you.

Cheers,

Tsjerk

[gmx-users] topology treatment in free energy calculations - possible bug

2008-01-04 Thread Maik Goette

Hi

I just found a strange behaviour of GROMACS, when processing topologies 
with B-values. Maybe I just think of it as unintuitive/bug, but here we go:


e.g. OPLS

Consider an angle given (all atoms have B-values, which angle-parameter 
can be found by GROMACS in the bonded.itp for the A- and B-state):


Original topology entry:
101214 1

Manually edited entry (with the correct ff-term):
101214 1 109.700 669.440

Now, a dump from the tpr-files yields the following:
Original:
functype[109]=ANGLES, thA= 1.09700e+02, ctA= 6.69440e+02, thB= 
1.09500e+02, ctB= 2.92880e+02


Edited:
functype[109]=ANGLES, thA= 1.09700e+02, ctA= 6.69440e+02, thB= 
1.09700e+02, ctB= 6.69440e+02


Now, what obviously happens is, that GROMACS searches the entries of the 
angle in the FF for both states and uses them in the case of the 
original topology.
If one puts a manual entry into the topology for the A-state though, the 
B-state is simply copied, instead of searched by GROMACS.


This, IMHO, is quite inconvenient. Is this a bug or a feature?

Regards

Hi once more

It just came to my mind, that the behaviour, I described in the first 
mail will be quite dangerous, whenever #define statements are in the 
topology, cause this would lead to the insertion of the FF-values in the

afterwards, even if the values are crap for the B-state...

it cannot be called as a bug... when you mention parameters for A state 
in topology explicitly then grompp will expect you to mention the B state 
parameters also, and if it doesn't find it, it will assign A state 
parameter to B state. that is quite well documented, i think, in manual. 
So there is no reason to think it as a bug.

As far as treatment of A and B state parameters, I am not sure there
is any solution that doesn't result in dangerous behavior in some
situations. Therefore my recommendation is that anytime one is
handling atoms which are being perturbed (i.e., where the B state
*might* be different from the A state) both A and B state parameters
be specified explicitly in the topology by the user.

Hi,

I know this issue has been discussed in some form before, but hough may 
be I resurface it again. Is it possible to transfer a UFF forcefield to 
a GROMACS forcefield with help of a script? UFF force-field cannot be 
used in GROMACS as per my understanding, and I renamed the FF types of 
an UFF based small peptide to GROMACS by hand, but I am afraid this will 
take for ever in longer systems.
Also if someone can highlight upon what is the basic difference in UFF 
type forcefields and GROMACS (parameter or potential function-wise) that 
would be great.


If *you* can specify which potential forms are used in UFF it is 
straightforward to determine whether you can use it with GROMACS. As 
long as it consists of pair potentials for the nonbondeds, it should 
work fine.




Thanks so much for your help.

Re: [gmx-users] topology treatment in free energy calculations - possible bug

2008-01-04 Thread David Mobley
Maik

 I just found a strange behaviour of GROMACS, when processing topologies
 with B-values. Maybe I just think of it as unintuitive/bug, but here we go:

 e.g. OPLS

 Consider an angle given (all atoms have B-values, which angle-parameter
 can be found by GROMACS in the bonded.itp for the A- and B-state):

 Original topology entry:
 101214 1

 Manually edited entry (with the correct ff-term):
 101214 1 109.700 669.440

 Now, a dump from the tpr-files yields the following:
 Original:
 functype[109]=ANGLES, thA= 1.09700e+02, ctA= 6.69440e+02, thB=
 1.09500e+02, ctB= 2.92880e+02

 Edited:
 functype[109]=ANGLES, thA= 1.09700e+02, ctA= 6.69440e+02, thB=
 1.09700e+02, ctB= 6.69440e+02

I *think* this behavior is described in the documentation. Basically,
anytime A state parameters are specified in the topology and B state
are omitted, A state are copied to B state. To make B state different,
you have to either (a) specify them explicitly, or (b) have them
looked up in the force field where they are different. So this is
expected behavior.

David


 Now, what obviously happens is, that GROMACS searches the entries of the
 angle in the FF for both states and uses them in the case of the
 original topology.
 If one puts a manual entry into the topology for the A-state though, the
 B-state is simply copied, instead of searched by GROMACS.

 This, IMHO, is quite inconvenient. Is this a bug or a feature?

RE: [gmx-users] topology treatment in free energy calculations -possible bug

2008-01-04 Thread Berk Hess

This behavior is itentional.
But it can indeed be confusing.
Therefore in Gromacs 4.0 a warning will be generated (and I have added
a table in the manual that explains all the possible combinations).

If you explicitly define parameters for the A-state, I don't see why
you would want the B-parameters to be looked up based on atom-type.
You would only want that when the A-state parameters are also determined
by the atom type.

Berk.

[gmx-users] Question regarding compatibility of UFF and GROMACS

2008-01-04 Thread Subhashis Biswas

Hi,

I know this issue has been discussed in some form before, but hough  
may be I resurface it again. Is it possible to transfer a UFF  
forcefield to a GROMACS forcefield with help of a script? UFF force- 
field cannot be used in GROMACS as per my understanding, and I  
renamed the FF types of an UFF based small peptide to GROMACS by  
hand, but I am afraid this will take for ever in longer systems.
Also if someone can highlight upon what is the basic difference in  
UFF type forcefields and GROMACS (parameter or potential function- 
wise) that would be great.


Thanks so much for your help.

regards,
Subhashis

Re: [gmx-users] generation of guanidium intramolecular force-field

2008-01-04 Thread kinshuk
Thanks for providing the insight about it. I have tried it.
I have two query..
(1) As in the case of simulation with urea as a solute and water as
solvent the corresponding file urea+h2o.gro file is given there.I have to
do simulation similar to urea i.e. guanidium ion as a solute in place of
urea.So in that case how will i be able to create Gdm+h2o.gro file
analogous to urea+h2o.gro(Gdm=Guanidium ion).

(2) If i have to perform simulation with varying concentration of
system(Guanidium  water), so how will i be able to do it.As i have seen
in case of urea+h2o.gro concentration of system is fixed and if i have to
generate a system of different molal(different ratio of urea and water),
so will be play with concentration.

If any help i will be getting, i will be very thankful.

 You could use PRODRG to generate the topology, but you will have to
 validate the
 parameters (see the above link), especially the charges that PRODRG
 assigns.
 They are often unsatisfactory.

Do some back-of-the-envelope calculations about how many solvent molecules
you will need for the concentrations you want. It will not be feasible to
have more than a few (tens of) thousands of solvent molecules.
