[gmx-users] A question

2008-04-24 Thread samad ahadian
Hello,

I am new user of Gromacs. I did a pdb2gmx command on my pdb file. I got an 
error below:

Residue 'XXX' not found in residue topology database

I know that I blindly made my pdb file using Materials Studio 4.2. Let me know 
there is a special software to make a pdb file? Thank you in advance for your 
response.

Regards,

Samad

RE: [gmx-users] Entropy correction in PMF

 Subject: [gmx-users] Entropy correction in PMF
 
 That sentence could definitely use some massaging. Try this:
 
 Whether one needs to correct for this contribution depends on what the
 pmf should represent. When one wants to pull a substrate into a protein,
 this entropic term indeed contributes to the work to get the substrate
 into the protein. This is because the work required to pull a ligand  
 into a protein binding pocket depends on the concentration of that  
 ligand in the unbound state. The entropic contribution, however,  
 depends on the size of your simulation box if your sampling of the  
 entire box is ergodic. Further, the large computational cost of  
 converging the sampling of large separations between the protein and  
 ligand make it undesirable to target true ergodicity for large  
 separations. It is more efficient to calculate the work required to  
 pull a ligand into a protein from an unbound state that has a defined  
 concentration and then to separately calculate the work required to  
 change that concentration to some standard state, e.g. 1 molar.
 
 If any other free energy users care to comment, perhaps we could come  
 up with something based on what I have suggested (or something  
 entirely different) that could go into the new manual.
 
 --original message --
 
 I sent the attached message on last March 31 but I didn't get any
 answer... may be the right people was not available at that time and
 that is why I am trying again. I would thank a lot to have some more
 detail about this paragraph in the gromacs manual (version 3.3, chapter
 6, page 111):
 
 Whether one needs to correct for this contribution depends on what the
 pmf should represent. When one wants to pull a substrate into a protein,
 this entropic term indeed contributes to the work to get the substrate
 into the protein. But when calculating a pmf between two solutes in a
 solvent, for the purpose of simulating without solvent, the entropic
 contribution should be removed. Note that this term can be significant;
 when at 300K the distance is halved the contribution is 3.5 kJ mol-1.�
 
 why exactly for a substrate-protein complex shouldn't one correct the
 pmf?

This is not a simple should or should not.
It depends on what you want to use the PMF for.

You should be aware that there is this simple entropic distance contribution.
When a substrate needs to enter into a protein, it has to work against
this entropic term. If you include this or not, depends on how your want
to present the PMF in a presentation, or how your will use it for further
calculation.

Berk.

No, but you can certainly make life hard for yourself by using poor 
PDB-producing software, or using good software poorly. See 
http://wiki.gromacs.org/index.php/Errors for some background for this 
error. You need to generate a structure file whose residues and atoms 
are defined for the force field you intend to use, and which are named 
suitably so that pdb2gmx can recognize them. 'XXX' suggests that either 
MS4.2, or your usage of it, or both, are making life hard.


Depending on your level of newness, you should definitely do some 
background textbook/manual/literature reading, and/or tutorials.

Re: [gmx-users] position restraints

2008-04-24 Thread gadies

Hello,

I'm trying to run a simulation with one lipid molecule in a fixed
simulation box without pbc.
I set position restraints on one of the atoms and I seem to keep on
getting the following error:

...This usually means your system is exploding...

Do you have any idea what may cause this problem?
Not without further details.  Where did you get the parameters for your lipid?
What lipid is it?  What did you do to minimize and equilibrate your system?
What's in your .mdp file?

See here: http://wiki.gromacs.org/index.php/blowing_up

-Justin


Hello,

The lipid is DPPC.The .itp file I got from a coworker that used it  
before for membrane MD simulations.

To minimize the system I used steepest descent with the following parameters:
title = TAT
cpp = /usr/bin/cpp
define = -DPOSRE
constraints = none
integrator = steep
dt = 0.002 ;ps
nsteps = 400
nstlist = 10

fourier_nz = 0
pme_order = 4
ewald_rtol = 1e-5
optimize_fft = yes
emtol = 1000.0
emstep = 0.01

I tried running the steepest descent several times however that did not help.
I run an MD simulation with the following parameters:
title = dppc
cpp = /usr/bin/cpp
constraints = all-bonds
integrator = md
dt = 0.001 ;ps
nsteps = 10
nstcomm = 1

Hi,

I tried using no temperature coupling and no constraints, that did not help.
If I run the simulation without the position restraints it works OK.
Could there by something wrong with the posre file (I'll attach it at

I want one of the atoms in the lipid to stay in one place and the rest  
to wiggle around it. Is there any other way to do that which is not  
position restraints.

Did your minimization converge to a nice, negative potential energy?  Also, what
is the full mdrun output when the simulation blows up?  You've quoted the last
bit, but it would be more informative to see the whole output, or at least a
description of it (i.e., LINCS warnings).

Hi,

The full mdrun output when the simulation blows up is:

Step 0, time 0 (ps)  LINCS WARNING
relative constraint deviation after LINCS:
max inf (between atoms 6 and 7) rms inf
bonds that rotated more than 30 degrees:
 .
 .
 .
Warning: 1-4 interaction between 1 and 6 at distance  
324490777485109120.000 which is larger than the 1-4 table size 1.000 nm

These are ignored for the rest of the simulation
This usually means your system is exploding,
if not, you should increase table-extension in your mdp file

 Hello,

 I'm trying to run a simulation with one lipid molecule in a fixed
 simulation box without pbc.
 I set position restraints on one of the atoms and I seem to keep on
 getting the following error:

 Why do you want MD of a single lipid and a position restraint on one
 atom? If you just want to see a lipid wiggle around, then don't create
 more numerical complexity.

 The lipid is DPPC.The .itp file I got from a coworker that used it
 before for membrane MD simulations.
 To minimize the system I used steepest descent with the following
 parameters:

 Well if your grompp and mdrun completed successfully and without
 warnings then you've probably got an OK topology and structure.

 The combination of all bond constraints, a single lipid in vacuo,
 temperature coupling and a single position restraint sounds like a
 recipe for a numerical disaster, i.e. blowing up. Try with fewer of
 those things applied, or get a more physically-reasonable system, like
 a whole membrane.

 Hi,

 The full mdrun output when the simulation blows up is:

 Step 0, time 0 (ps)  LINCS WARNING
 relative constraint deviation after LINCS:
 max inf (between atoms 6 and 7) rms inf
 bonds that rotated more than 30 degrees:
   .
   .
   .
 Warning: 1-4 interaction between 1 and 6 at distance
 324490777485109120.000 which is larger than the 1-4 table size 1.000 nm
 These are ignored for the rest of the simulation
 This usually means your system is exploding,
 if not, you should increase table-extension in your mdp file

Basic information about this type of error can be found here (as well as several
hundred posts in the list archive):

http://wiki.gromacs.org/index.php/Errors#LINCS_warnings

How did you do your minimization, with or without restraints?  Did it converge
to an acceptable potential energy?

[gmx-users] AFMM parameter refinement

2008-04-24 Thread Abu Naser

Hi All,

Has any body tried doing parameter refinement using Vaiana's python code called 
afmm.py?

A.C. Vaiana, Z. Cournia, I.B. Costescu and J.C. Smith, AFMM: A molecular 
mechanics force field vibrational parametrization program', Computer Physics 
Communications, 167 (2005), pp.34-42.

I have done a test run  using propene setup that came along with the code and 
came across a problem. It gives me the same minimum and current sigma value in 
every steps as:
Minimum sigma: 5782.258565, current sigma: 5782.258565

Dose anybody know what might be the problem?

With regards,

Abu

No need to get confrontational; my reply was not intended to be insulting.  Mark
and I have been putting forth some effort to help our friend Gadi here by
extracting some detail that may be useful to document in the list archives. 
Posting advice to ignore the problem, that everything will be fine, etc, may
result in someone searching for help, finding your post about ignoring the
problem, and trying to proceed.  My response was simply that errors that cause
simulations to crash typically shouldn't be ignored with the belief that they
will resolve themselves.  Just my $0.02, and everyone hereafter is free to take

Hi,

I minimized without restraints, could that be the problem?
After the minimization I got a Potential Energy  = -6.1434351e+02.

How did you do your minimization, with or without restraints?  Did   
it converge

to an acceptable potential energy?

 Hi,

 I tried using no temperature coupling and no constraints, that did not
help.
 If I run the simulation without the position restraints it works OK.
 Could there by something wrong with the posre file (I'll attach it at
 the end of the email).
 I want one of the atoms in the lipid to stay in one place and the rest
 to wiggle around it. Is there any other way to do that which is not
 position restraints.

 Thanks Gadi

That seems fine.  Basically, your lipid's headgroup is shearing itself apart
(which you can tell from the LINCS warnings).  At this point, I could only
guess as to what's going wrong, which probably won't do you much good.

If you'd like to send me your structure, topologies, and .mdp file off-list, I'd
be happy to have a look at them.

[gmx-users] Converting OPLS parameters

2008-04-24 Thread Ramon Crehuet
Dear Gromacs users,
I am new to gromacs. I have just installed and read some tutorials.
I would like to start reproducing the results I have calculated with
another program (Dynamo). My system has a protein, water, ATP and
N-acetylglutamate (NAG).
The protein and water are trivial to convert. But I would like to use
the same ATP and NAG parameters that I already have in my OPLS file (I
enclose this file for the ATP at the end of the mail).
I know PRODRG can generate the topology files, but it also creates the
force field parameters, doesn't it? Is there an automatic way to
translate the OPLS format to gromacs? Or could you suggest another
work-around?
Thanks in advance,
Ramon

Re: [gmx-users] Converting OPLS parameters

2008-04-24 Thread Ran Friedman
Hello Ramon,

There's no automatic way, and prodrg doesn't deal with OPLS. If you have
common residues (protein, water, maybe also ATP and NAG) you can use
pdb2gmx. Otherwise, you'll have to write a script or do things by hand.
Since you already have the parameters it shouldn't be too difficult.

Ran.

RE: [gmx-users] Entropy correction in PMF

2008-04-24 Thread Ángel Piñeiro
Thanks a lot Chris and Berk for your answers. I think that there are (at
least) two different and independent corrections that should be
performed to estimate absolute binding energies from the pmf (that is
indeed my aim) -the  correction for the reference state that depends on
the concentration of the different species in the solution (this is
quite clear in the Gilson's papers) and the entropic correction. I may
agree that whether or not the entropic correction should be performed
depends on what you want the pmf for but what is the difference
between a substrate-protein complex and the interaction between two
methane molecules in solution regarding the entropic correction?

My confusion comes from these two sentences in the manual:

When one wants to pull a substrate into a protein, this entropic term
indeed contributes to the work to get the substrate into the protein.
But when calculating a pmf between two solutes in a solvent, for the
purpose of simulating without solvent, the entropic contribution should
be removed.

Summing up my concern: Does the entropic term really contribute to the
absolute binding energy, or, on the contrary, this absolute  binding
energy must be calculated from the previously corrected pmf?

Angel.

  That sentence could definitely use some massaging. Try this:
  
  Whether one needs to correct for this contribution depends on what
 the
  pmf should represent. When one wants to pull a substrate into a
 protein,
  this entropic term indeed contributes to the work to get the

 ligand

  ligand in the unbound state. The entropic contribution, however, 
  depends on the size of your simulation box if your sampling of the 
  entire box is ergodic. Further, the large computational cost of 
  converging the sampling of large separations between the protein
 and 
  ligand make it undesirable to target true ergodicity for large 
  separations. It is more efficient to calculate the work required to 
  pull a ligand into a protein from an unbound state that has a
 defined 
  concentration and then to separately calculate the work required to 
  change that concentration to some standard state, e.g. 1 molar.

 This is not a simple should or should not.
 It depends on what you want to use the PMF for.
 
 You should be aware that there is this simple entropic distance
 contribution.
 When a substrate needs to enter into a protein, it has to work against
 this entropic term. If you include this or not, depends on how your
 want

 further
 calculation.

[gmx-users] Infinite system PBC and Bonded Interaction

2008-04-24 Thread Eudes Fileti
I am simulating a infinite graphene sheet in water.
The expected is that the system it is infinite in xy plane.
But after the simulation I note that the edges of the box (in particular
the graphene) are not replicables, i. e., it do not match with its
images. I suspect that I may be wrong in using any option mdp  file
I got the same result for both full and xyz for option pbd.

What have I to do to my system be infinitely replicated,
with all its bonded interaction matching?

[gmx-users] Defining charges: [atomtypes] vs [atoms]

2008-04-24 Thread Matt Wyczalkowski
Looking through the documentation, it seems like the charge of an atom
may be defined in one of two ways: in the [atomtypes] directive, or in
the [atoms] directive.  In the past, I've always made them identical,
but I have seen examples where they differ.

Why are there two ways to define an atom's charge, and which
definition takes precedence?  Also, during a free energy calculation
where an atom mutates typeA - typeB, are the charge values as defined
in the [atomtypes] section or [atoms] section used?

Thanks --

[gmx-users] about NMR Refinement

2008-04-24 Thread Rogelio Hernández

Hi users

I sent the attached message on last April 16th, but I didn't get any
answer... that is why I am trying again. 

I would thank a lot to have some information about NMR refinement with GROMACS
  
Dear users,

 I want to do a NMR refinement (with GROMACS) of a protein structure that comes 
from CYANA, (a program that perform torsion angle dynamics), to include a full 
physical force field and explicit water to represent the solvent to improve the 
quality of the structure,
  
my question is about the protocol that i should do, i have read the manual but 
i dont know if i need to do annealing simulation, or position restricted 
dynamics or use NMR refinement and how i should choose the parameters, 

is there any manual to do that? 

thanks in advance

Re: [gmx-users] Entropy correction in PMF

2008-04-24 Thread David Mobley
Chris,

I think you are correct here. For binding calculations there is
probably a further trick relating to how to define an unbound state
that has a well-defined concentration. This I think depends on how one
is pulling -- i.e. doing simple radial PMFs is probably a bad idea,
because to even converge the PMF when the ligand is separate from the
protein, you by definition need to integrate over all x, y, and z at
that r, so you end up needing to sample a spherical shell covering a
substantial fraction of the simulation box. For this reason I think
it's probably wiser to do pulling along a specified vector away from
the protein, for example (this is what people using this strategy have
mostly done, I think). Additionally there is the standard state issue,
which is important also.

I think you may have more or less raised all of these issues already;
I'm just trying to put them a slightly different way.

David

Re: [gmx-users] Defining charges: [atomtypes] vs [atoms]

2008-04-24 Thread Mark Abraham

Matt Wyczalkowski wrote:

Looking through the documentation, it seems like the charge of an atom
may be defined in one of two ways: in the [atomtypes] directive, or in
the [atoms] directive.  In the past, I've always made them identical,
but I have seen examples where they differ.

Why are there two ways to define an atom's charge, and which
definition takes precedence? 


Having two ways allows for more flexibility. Some force fields might be 
prescriptive about charges for certain atom types, some might not be. 
Accordingly, [atoms] takes precedence.



Also, during a free energy calculation
where an atom mutates typeA - typeB, are the charge values as defined
in the [atomtypes] section or [atoms] section used?


I don't know, but I expect [atoms].

Hi users

I sent the attached message on last April 16th, but I didn't get any
answer... that is why I am trying again. 


I would thank a lot to have some information about NMR refinement with GROMACS


There's nothing to say - you should search the manual for NMR and read 
about what it has to say there. Then search the literature for people 
who've done NMR refinement using MD programs and learn from that.

  Hello,

 No, but you can certainly make life hard for yourself by
 using poor 
 PDB-producing software, or using good software poorly. See 
 http://wiki.gromacs.org/index.php/Errors for some
 background for this 
 error. You need to generate a structure file whose residues
 and atoms 
 are defined for the force field you intend to use, and
 which are named 
 suitably so that pdb2gmx can recognize them. 'XXX'
 suggests that either 
 MS4.2, or your usage of it, or both, are making life hard.
 
 Depending on your level of newness, you should definitely
 do some 
 background textbook/manual/literature reading, and/or
 tutorials.

Dear GROMACS users and developers,

I've encountered a problem when tying to do a parallel simulation for my

[gmx-users] negative eigenvalues occured and not nearly zero

2008-04-24 Thread silvester.thu
Hello gmx-users:

I'm recently using Normal Mode Analysis(NMA) of GROMACS package to calculate 
the foundamental frequency of graphite systems. But I got some results that are 
unexplainable, and I can not continue my work now. 

For all the examples below, I use the double precision GROMACS functions: 
grompp_d, mdrun_d, and g_nmeig_d. For the EM part, I used the 
conjugated-gradients algorism, and for the NMA part, I used nm integrator and 
included the full precision structure file: em.trr into the .tpr input file.

For the systems that I applied no restraints, the first six eigenvalues should 
be zero, or at least nearly zero if we considering the accuracy of numerical 
calculating. But the typical first twelve eigenvalues I got have the values 
below:
(after EM, the Fmax5e-4)

1-0.37993
 2   -0.335177
 3   -0.206887
 4   -0.111813
 5  -0.0381566
 6  -0.0211911
 7   0.0189381
 8   0.0370517
 9   0.0385126
100.093188
110.132927
120.169143

the first eigenvalue has larger absolute value than the 7th eigenvalue, which 
should not happen for an unrestrained system. WHY the first six eigenvalues are 
not zero or nearly zero? I guess there might by something wrong in my input 
files, but I can not figure out where it is. By the way, the topology files and 
coordinate files are surely correct.

Another problem is:
For the system that I applied restraints to, which removed the translation and 
rotation about the center of mass, the eigenvalues should be all positive. But 
I still found that negative values occured. 
 1   -0.135621
 2  -0.074
 3  -0.0390086
 4  -0.0108285
 5   0.0101438
 6   0.0553579
 70.146471
 80.162898
 90.344921
100.396553
110.486316
120.544625
WHY? 

If anyone used the NMA of GROMACS before and got correct output, it will be 
very helpful if you can send me your parameters or input files or give me some 
advice. If you need any more information, please e-mail me.

I really need your help, thanks.

Yours Sincerely

Yue Shao
