[gmx-users] centering molecule in the water box

2008-07-01 Thread Fabio Affinito

Hi all,
During my MD the molecule experience a drift. Now I want to put the  
molecule at the center of the water box.
I tried with trjconv using the -pbc mol and -center flag and using a  
reference frame where the molecule is at the center of the box.
It seems that all the box (water+molecule) is translated, and so the  
position of the molecule relatively to the box is unchanged.
I also checked the gmx-users list and I didn't get any useful  
suggestion.

You can set the parameters below to the value 1 in the configuration 
file for mdrun.


nstxout = 1
nstvout = 1
nstfout = 1

RE: [gmx-users] Save all MD snapshot

2008-07-01 Thread Kukol, Andreas
The snapshots are saved automatically during the simulation in the trajectory, 
e.g.

mdrun ... -x trajectory.xtc

How often snapshots are saved depends on the settings in your .mdp-file.

I recommend some reading of the manual before starting any simulations.

Dear users,

I'm working on simulating protein interactions with polymer surface for

I have developed a primitive model of polymer surface of polystyrene using

face  error when I use grompp though I included the .itp in .top file! It
says atomtype CR61 is not found. Now I'm struck at this point from many

So where would one go to find an atomtype?  If you were to enter your 
$GMXLIB directory and 'grep CR61 *' it will print out all the 
occurrences of this atom type.  It will tell you what force field it 
belongs to and what the atom type is.

Is it that I should add atom types to the ffG43a1nb.itp and ffG43a1bon.itp ? 
But then where should I get different parameters.

When prompted for a group to center, what are you choosing?  It sounds 
like you've chosen 'System' if everything is moving.  Try centering with 
respect to your molecule of interest.

the protein moves because the c.o.m. motion wasn't subtracted during  
the dynamics.

[gmx-users] Partial Vs Formal Charges

2008-07-01 Thread nahren manuel
Dear Gromacs USERs,
My ligand, which contains a piperazine ring  needs to be positively charged 
(+1). 
When I assign Gasteiger charges, it comes out to be -0.336 on the Nitrogen. 
But When I do a SEMI-EMPIRICAL PM3 to place my partial charge , it puts +0.733 
on this atom. So does it mean it has put partial charge as (F.Charge - P. 
Charge). When I use InsightII (cff91 FF), the partial charge on this ligand was 
-0.556 and also it had a formal charge of +1.   So kindly suggest me the best 
way out.
 
Also,  does gromacs takes formal charges automatically or is there a way to 
define the same. 
 
thanks

If they are not among the user contributions, and if they are not 
published somewhere in the literature, you will have to derive them 
yourself (an advanced topic!).  See here:

And this one is probably applicable in your case, as well:

The best way out is the one that you believe to be most defensible for 
your particular situation.  I would suggest looking up some of the 
original references for force field derivations (OPLS, GROMOS, AMBER, 
etc.) to get a sense of what types of methods are typically employed in 
deriving parameters.  If you can find similar functional groups that 
have already been parameterized, that would probably be a good resource.


Also,  does gromacs takes formal charges automatically or is there a 
way to define the same.


 



Gromacs will assign charges to each atom based on what you provide in 
the .itp file.

[gmx-users] segmentation fault

2008-07-01 Thread rams rams
Dear users,

Thanks a lot to Justin and a few others who really helped me in successfully
running insulin. Now, I am trying to setup  the input file for insulin with
other enzyme and I am trying to merge the two chains of insulin. I am using
the following command:

pdb2gmx -f insu.pdb -p insu_p.top -o insu_p.pdb -inter -merge -ignh

it is asking whether to merge (A B, BC). I allowed it to merge BC they
are insulin chains and A is the rest of the enzyme. With the above command
after adding all the protons to LYS etc.., it complains the folling:

Segmentation fault: pdb2gmx -f insu.pdb -p insu_p.top -o insu_p.pdb -inter
-merge -ignh

It says like its creating the pdb and top files but nothing it could.

The same command works fine if I remove -merge and its also worked well with
insulin chains.

I have enough space to run this too.

Please let me know the suggestions.

Ram.

Re: [gmx-users] segmentation fault

2008-07-01 Thread Justin A. Lemkul

The whole story continues to emerge... :-)

You're probably experiencing this problem because you're trying to 
process two separate proteins with one pdb2gmx command.  You will need 
to separate (i.e., using a text editor) chain A (whatever protein) from 
BC (insulin).  Process them separately with pdb2gmx, using -merge with 
the insulin portion.  What you'll have to do is then concatenate the 
output structure files (again, text editor or Unix 'cat' command), and 
include the insulin topology within the topol.top from Protein A.  See 
Chapter 5 of the manual for more details on this, but it is essentially 
analogous to including a ligand topology (.itp) within a system topology 
(.top).

[gmx-users] tabulated potential both on pairs and non-bonded interactions / different cutoffs

2008-07-01 Thread Claus Valka
Hello,

trying to implement my force field into gromacs I have figured out that it is 
of vital importance to use diferrent cut-offs among different kind of atoms. 

I have 1-4 and 1-5 interactions with a set of epsilon and sigma parameters and 
the non bonded interactions (more than 4 bonds appart) with a different set. 
Every interaction among different type of atoms have different rvdw-switch and 
rvdw cutoffs.

As a result I have to use a tabulated potential both for 1-4 and 1-5 
interactions AND non-bonded interactions (1-6 and above). My question is how is 
it possible someone to do that in gromacs. How gromacs would be able to discern 
whether the interaction is 3 or 4 bonds appart OR more than 4 bonds?

In case I cannot use tabulated potential for the interactions I'm
interested in, could I keep the pair interactions as they are up to now
under the pairs section and use at least tabulated potential for the
non-bonded interactions?

In any case of the above what would be the meaning of rvdw-switch and rvdw 
cutoffs in the mdp file?

The number of different interactions I have are 6. Is it possible while 
tabulating the non-bonded interactions to have both energy and pressure 
correction? 

I have also seen that I can use reduced parameters (eplsilon and sigma) for all 
the non-bonded interactions, yet (correct me if I'm wrong) I do not think that 
this solves the problem of different cutoffs. That way only one interaction 
would have the correct cutoff.

Unfortunately all my efforts up to now with one global cutoff don't bring the 
anticipated results.

Thank you in advance,
Nikos

[gmx-users] g_wham command issues

2008-07-01 Thread VENKATESH HARIHARAN
Hello,

I am having trouble analyzing the XXX.pdo file output from my mdrun simulation
using the g_wham command.  Specifically, my command entered is:

g_wham pull.pdo -o pull1.xvg

The error given is:

Opening file pull.pdo
_
Program g_wham, VERSION 3.3.3
Source code file: gmx_wham.c, line 89

Fatal error:
This does not appear to be a valid pdo file
_

Motherhood Means Mental Freeze (The Breeders)


I've looked into the gmx_wham.c file and found that line 89 corresponds to:

if(strcmp(Buffer1,UMBRELLA)) 
fatal_error( 704 ,This does not appear to be a valid pdo file);


I'm not sure of what this means.  I've noticed that others have had this issue
in the past, and am hoping someone has found my mistake.  Formatting of my .pdo
file maybe?  If this is the case, can anyone provide sample .pdo file to
compare with my own?  Any help is appreciated.

I remember that at least for the old version of g_wham, you need to gzip the 
pdo files first.

[gmx-users] Abnormal popc struture after inserting protein

2008-07-01 Thread minnale
  
Hi all, 
 I have embedded protein into POPC bilayer, I accomplished energy 
minimisation 

em.mdp file

rlist   =  1.0
rcoulomb=  1.0
rvdw=  1.4
Tcoupl  =  no
Pcoupl  =  no

its showed following sentences

Stepsize too small, or no change in energy.
Converged to machine precision,
but not to the requested precision Fmax  100

Double precision normally gives you higher accuracy.

writing lowest energy coordinates.

Steepest Descents converged to machine precision in 104 steps,
but did not reach the requested Fmax  100.
Potential Energy  = -2.2754422e+05

  So I dont boughter about those sentences because I confirmed in list archives 
that I can proceed further steps and moreover em.gro file is   fine, so I 
went for restrain, here I am getting abnormal POPC structure

Not really.  You haven't told us much.  What parameters are you using 
(for the protein and the lipids)?  How did you insert your protein?


Also realize that 50 ps is *extremely* short in the realm of membrane 
protein MD.  Even after several hundred picoseconds things may look a 
bit strange.  Prevailing wisdom is that between 25-30 ns of MD are 
required for the lipids to reach equilibrium (although they should look 
reasonable after just a few ns, but parameters like area per headgroup 
may not level off for a while).

[gmx-users] PME-User

2008-07-01 Thread Sang-Min Park




Dear all,

I have some questions concerning the usage of tables :

1. If one choose ' coloumbtype = User ' then GROMACS would calculate 
only the interaction according to the user specfied table within the 
specified cut off 'rcoloumb' and 'rlist'. The interaction beyond the cut 
offs would not be treaten according to the user specified potential. Is 
this right ?


2. When I set 'PME-User' then my question is how PME works together 
with coloumb potential functions specified in the table different from 
the 'normal' coloumb interaction : ~1/r. ?


3. What exactly means the statement of David :
 Added support for a combination of PME and USER determined coloumb 
potentials. The user has to take care that the combination of Coloumb and 
standard PME makes sense.  (Mon Feb 7 )



Thank you for your time
Sang Min
