Re: [gmx-users] Double or single precision

Hi, can anybody explain me the different uses for the single and the

Are there situations that explicitly require a double precision package,

and situations when i can use a single precision?


Double precision energy minimization is normally recommended before 
doing normal mode analysis. If doing an NVE simulation is important to 
you, then with otherwise suitable choices of .mdp parameters, 
double-precision integration might give better energy conservation. 
Otherwise, you'd probably be wasting processor time.


Search the archives, this question has probably been asked before.

   In the 16 CPUs simulation, the RMSD of protein at t=0 was about
 0.1 nm, why not equal to zero? I used the initial structure for the
 least squares fit.
 If you've done an equilibration or EM, the structure can have changed 
 during that.
I mean the initial structure is the structure I used to generate the 
 .tpr file for mdrun_mpi. 
 What were your command lines, choices for groups and outputs? The most
 likely simple explanation is that you haven't done what you think you've
 done :-)
 
My command lines:
   
g_rms -s md.tpr -f md.trr -o rms_protein.xvg -n index.ndx
 
choices for groups:

 Select group for least squares fit: Protein
 Select group for RMSD calculation:  Protein

Have you used gmxcheck to see if the coordinates in md.tpr match the
first frame of md.trr?

If you're using constraints then these are probably applied before
writing the t=0 md.trr frame, check that.

You have managed to avoid one common mistake, which would be to use a
.gro or .pdb file as input to -s, and not to realise that these are
reduced-precision file formats and thus differences from rounding errors
are to be expected.

Re: [gmx-users] bilayer simulation crashes after 2 ns or 7 ns of stable runs. why does system explode

2008-04-07 Thread maria goranovic
Hi,

Sorry for the incomplete details. Here they are now:

I started with a well-equilibrated POPC bilayer, and changed one POPC lipid
to a lipid of my interest. I wrote the topology file for the new lipid
accordingly.

After that, I did some simple steepest descent minimization, and followed it
up by dynamics. Here is the .mdp file for the runs. There is a preceding
25,000-step simulation where the initial velocities are assigned. The mdp
file below is what is being used for equilibrium dynamics.

   Dear All
  
   I am running a 128-lipid bilayer simulation with standard parameters.
 The
   simulation abruptly crashed after 2 ns, and a look into the pdb files
   suggested that bonds were being broken and eventually the lipids
 explode. I
   tried increasing the cutoffs from 1.0 to 1.4, and this time also, the
   simulation exploded, but at a different time point.

 And as an aside, broken bonds are only a visualization effect; mdrun
 doesn't
 write broken molecules.  Also, providing your .mdp file would be of use.

 -Justin

  
   The energy remains nice and stable till the explosion.
  
   How does one fix this ? What is planting these bombs ?
 
  You'll have to describe how you minimized and equilibrated your bilayer
  before
  we'll have any idea what's going on.  Also have a thorough look through
 the
  archives; many users have posted about bilayers exploding (including
 yours
  truly).

That's all fine. You should have a close look at the structures leading 
up to the simulation crashes, and pay attention to all of the warning

Re: [gmx-users] set up topology in free energy calculations

QL,

1. Yes. I'd use version a) because of, the less dummies, the better.
2. Yes
3. Of course, charges have to vanish for dummies, too. Keep the bonded 
terms. If not, your dummies will diffuse away.


Yes, your assumption about dummies is right.

Actually, I won't use this system for your first perturbation. Take 
something simpler.
Second, as indicated by point 3, you will have to tackle a disappearing 
netto charge of -1 (depending on the pH of course). This usually is a 
problem.

There were discussions of PME being problematic here.
Morphing an ion to counter that charge difference is possible. However, 
I think this would lead to a very bad equilibrated system and no 
reasonable results.

Re: [gmx-users] infinite molecule problem - Follow up info

2008-04-07 Thread Computational Structural BIology
Stop COM of the whole system?



2008/4/6 Bo Zhou [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 Dear gmx users,

 My previous question are:

 I want to simulate the solid/liquid interface, so I build an infinite
 inorganic molecule with pbc=full first. After I ran the system
  with vaccum (at the top of system) for a few ps, I found the crystal
 oscillating along the xy plane collectively and frequently,
  so there were too much inconsistent shifts. I wonder if it is
 reasonable,
 if not, is there any solution for it? Any suggestions
  would be helpful. Thanks.

 I have tested one system with infinite crystal only, and it turns out be
 to
 quite stable (no collective motion has been found), but when I put some
 water molecules on it, the crystal surface turns out to be what I have
 said
 above. Then I stop the COM motion of the crystal, and it seems ok again,
 just like what I have found in the simulation system with that crystal
 only
 (with stopcm too). However, I get a lot of warnings in the log file as
 follows:
 Large VCM(group rest):  0.00015,  0.00094, -0.00022, T-cm:
 inf
 Large VCM(group rest): -0.00038,  0.00063, -0.00140, T-cm:

 Large VCM(group rest): -0.00029,  0.00050, -0.00206, T-cm:

 inf
 Large VCM(group rest):  0.7, -0.00043, -0.00213, T-cm:
 inf
 ..
 I have not stop the COM motion of the group SOL, and I really do not know
 how to understand these warnings. I check the system again, everything
 seems
 alright except for these awkward warnings. I'm really out of ideas here.
 If
 anyone could give me some suggestions I would really appreciate it! Thanks
 for your time.

Re: [gmx-users] CPMD and gmx

2008-04-07 Thread Vasilii Artyukhov
Dear Andrey,

The maximum time step depends on whether you're doing Born-Oppenheimer or
Car-Parrinello MD. In the case of usual BO MD, you normally want a time step
of 0.5-1.0 fs, possibly 2 fs, if you use rigid molecules. In the CP case,
you have to use a much smaller time step to make sure that the electronic
degrees of freedom remain decoupled from the atomic motion (the whole idea
of CP approach is to do more time steps, but with only a single iteration
for the electronic structure at each step instead of a full SCF
minimization). You can find some introductory reading on this, e.g., at the
Dominik Marx group website:
http://www.theochem.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/home.en.html

2008/4/7, Andrey V Golovin [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 Dear all,
 We successfully passed all test with CPMD-gmx and now the time to do
 md production runs, In examples from interface home page timestep is
 1fs but in CPMD papers time step is much less,  about 0.12 fs. Could
 you please advise some papers to read? I found only one paper
 referencing to CPMD-gmx interface publication. Is any common settings
 for metal cations?
 The best that I found is links from
 http://www.cpmd.org/cpmd_publications.html.
 Thanks for any comment.

[gmx-users] Re: infinite molecule problem - Follow up info

2008-04-07 Thread Bo Zhou
When I stopCM of the whole system, all running is ok, but I found the
infinite surface oscillating along the xy plane collectively and frequently,
so there were too much inconsistent shifts. Then I stopCM of the surface
only, I get a lot of warnings about the Large VCM(group rest) (group rest =
SOL in my system). Thanks for your attention.

 Stop COM of the whole system?
 
 
 
 2008/4/6 Bo Zhou [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
 
  Dear gmx users,
 
  My previous question are:
 
  I want to simulate the solid/liquid interface, so I build an infinite
  inorganic molecule with pbc=full first. After I ran the system
   with vaccum (at the top of system) for a few ps, I found the crystal
  oscillating along the xy plane collectively and frequently,
   so there were too much inconsistent shifts. I wonder if it is
  reasonable,
  if not, is there any solution for it? Any suggestions
   would be helpful. Thanks.
 
  I have tested one system with infinite crystal only, and it turns out be
  to
  quite stable (no collective motion has been found), but when I put some
  water molecules on it, the crystal surface turns out to be what I have
  said
  above. Then I stop the COM motion of the crystal, and it seems ok again,
  just like what I have found in the simulation system with that crystal
  only
  (with stopcm too). However, I get a lot of warnings in the log file as
  follows:
  Large VCM(group rest):  0.00015,  0.00094, -0.00022,
 T-cm:
  inf
  Large VCM(group rest): -0.00038,  0.00063, -0.00140, T-cm:
  inf
  Large VCM(group rest): -0.00029,  0.00050, -0.00206, T-cm:

  Large VCM(group rest):  0.7,  0.00034, -0.00231,
 T-cm:
  inf
  Large VCM(group rest):  0.7, -0.00043, -0.00213, T-cm:
  inf
  ..
  I have not stop the COM motion of the group SOL, and I really do not
know
  how to understand these warnings. I check the system again, everything
  seems
  alright except for these awkward warnings. I'm really out of ideas here.
  If
  anyone could give me some suggestions I would really appreciate it!
Thanks
  for your time.

Hi,
I tried to run a md calculation with a bd-temp = 300 line in my file, but it 
gave a warning:
Unknown left-hand 'bd-temp' in a parameter file

Did I use the right parameter for setting up the temperature in Langevin 
Dynamics?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Check the pdb2gmx output; I suspect the renaming happened here.  If that is the

The .gro file format does not permit chain identifiers. So they were 
lost when you wrote ${file}.gro, and re-invented for output.pdb. If I 
remember correctly they're also not stored in a .tpr file.


pdb2gmx   -ff ${forcefield} -f  starting.pdb -p ${file}.top -i 
${file}.posre.itp -o ${file}.gro  ${file}.output.pdb2gmx 21


mdrun -nice 0 -v -s ${file}.input.tpr -o ${file}.minim_traj.trr -c

The starting.pdb has four chain: A B  D E
The output file output.pdb has a different chain name: A B C D.


There's no way to fix this one with GROMACS (at least, as far as I 
know). However if you edit your starting.pdb file to have the same kind 
of format as output.pdb, then you can use the standard unix utility 
programs head, tail, grep, cut and paste to solve this problem. Use


head -n x output.pdb  head
tail -n y output.pdb  tail

to extract the header and footer to separate files, and then grep out 
all of the lines that begin with atom records


grep -e '^ATOM' output.pdb  outputatom
grep -e '^ATOM' starting.pdb  startingatom

Then

cut -c=z startingatom  chainidentifiers
cut -c-1-a outputatom  left
cut -c=b- outputatom  right
paste -d='' left chainidentifiers right  middle
cat head middle tail  fixed.pdb

and to clean up

rm head tail outputatom startingatom chainidentifiers middle

You will need to identify the correct numbers for x, y, and z, and a=z-1 
and b=z+1. See the man pages for each of these commands to learn more.

If your simulation is long and/or computer slow, then it's possible the 
calculation is still running. If so, you can experiment with the -b, -e, 
and -dt flags to make the calculation shorter. See g_msd -h. You can 
also use other analysis tools to check if the problem is localised or not.


Otherwise, how big is the system, how long is the trajectory and what 
system are you running on?
