 Could there still be an error in your  gro file, as it seems to contain
 only C, and the error message points to H. x2top might work slightly
 better in 4.0.x. And by the way, this tutorial may be slightly
 confusing. The only thing you need to do is edit the .n2t file
 corresponding to your force field. I don't recall what is supplied in
 3.3, but in 4.0 it is ffoplsaa.n2t.

[gmx-users] Pressure Coupling Problem

2009-04-07 Thread Joe Joe
Hi
I am having some pressure coupling issues. I have a fairly large
protein/water system 400K+ atoms. It minimizes just fine (F < 1000). If I
run NVE it conserves energy with appropriate parameter settings. If I run
NVT it is stable. When I turn on Pcoupl (i.e. Berendsen or Parinello
Rahman), the system just continuously expands. My parameters are as follows.
Any ideas?

Best,

Ilya

[gmx-users] Pressure Coupling Problem

2009-04-07 Thread chris . neale

Hi Ilya,

First thing that comes to mind is that it is strange to couple a  
coulombic switching function with PME. While this could possibly be  
done correctly, I doubt that it is in fact done in the way that you  
expect (i.e. correctly) in gromacs. In fact, I think that grompp/mdrun  
should probably throw an error here -- unless it is actually handled  
in the proper way, and a developer could help you here to figure out  
if you are indeed getting what you desire.


coulombtype  = PME
rcoulomb-switch  = .9
rcoulomb = 1.0

However, it is not clear to me that this should cause a system to  
"continuously expand".


Still, you do not give very good information about what you mean by  
"continuously expand". Can you please provide some information on  
that? e.g. amount of time and total volume change.

[gmx-users] distance restraints in Gromacs 4.0.4

2009-04-07 Thread Ivan Gladich
Dear users
I have found a problem for the  distance constraint in the version
4.0.4 of gromacs.
I am trying to simulate a water droplet around an ion. To do that I use
a distance restraint armonic potential (pag.66, manual version 4).
During my simulation the shape of my sphere fluctuating too much and
many molecules leave the sphere even if the restoring force is big (I
use for restraint armonic potential a constant k=1e4 KJ mol^-1 nm^-2 ).
The problem disappear if I run the exactly same simulation with gromacs
3.3.3.:the spherical shape is always conserve and no molecules leave the
sphere.

Furthermore, if I am trying to run droplet larger than 1.0 nm radius
(e.g. 1.6 nm). These  simulation at a certain point stop, giving me the
following error

** glibc detected *** Dmdrun: munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer:
0x00a72bd0 ***

The same simulation in the version 3.3.3 runs without any problem.

Do you know what kind of problem could be?
Has the version 4.0.4  some problems with distance restrains?

Thank you in advance for any help or suggestion

[gmx-users] Membrane protein tutorial

2009-04-07 Thread Justin A. Lemkul


Hello all,

Due to the recent influx in questions related to membrane proteins (especially 
with common questions), I decided to put together a step-by-step tutorial for 
membrane protein systems.  It's a work in progress, so I would genuinely 
appreciate feedback from anyone who has a few minutes to take a look.  These 
procedures make sense in my head, so hopefully that comes through in the 
instructions :)


I have posted a link on the wiki site to my tutorial:

http://www.bevanlab.biochem.vt.edu/Pages/Personal/justin/gmx-tutorials/membrane_protein/index.html

I hope that people find this useful.  I have attempted to walk the user through 
most practical concerns that arise regarding topology organization and a few 
analysis questions that show up on the list frequently (g_order, g_density, etc).


If you have comments or questions, please do not hesitate to send me a private 
message.


-Justin

RE: [gmx-users] g_sdf

2009-04-07 Thread Dallas B. Warren
What exactly your issue with using g_sdf?

You need to supple a trajectory, index, and topology.  Index contains
the three reference atoms for the molecule, plus the atom you are
calculating the sdf to.  Selection of the correct grid size and binwidth
is required to get something that looks as you want it.

[gmx-users] missing interactions for the LJ-decoupled molecule during free energy in parallel but not serial

2009-04-07 Thread chris . neale
Thanks Berk, this makes sense to me. You were correct that my starting  
structure is fully Q+LJ coupled and it is only in the structures where  
there is no Q and I then couple LJ to lambda that I get this problem  
(and the extension that you suspect). I can just increase rdd. I was  
actually using couple-intramol=no, which should "leave on the  
intramolecular charge and LJ interactions" from the online manual mdp  
options page.


Chris.

-- original message --

Hi,

I think this behavior is "expectable".
The simplest explanation would be that some particles at the ends of  
the molecule

only have LJ and no charge, I guess this is not the case.
The more probable explanation is that your molecule extends when the  
LJ are turned

off, since there are no interactions to hold it together anymore.
There are two possible solutions:
1. increase -rdd (is by default guessed from the initial structure,  
which is probably

compact. Not using domain decomposition completely removed the problem.
2. use couple-intramol to leave on the intramolecular charge and LJ  
interactions,

this requires an extra (de-)coupling in vacuum to complete the cycle.
Depending on your system removing or leaving on intramolecular interactions
might lead to more efficient sampling.

Subject: [gmx-users] missing interactions for the LJ-decoupled  
molecule during free energy in parallel but not serial


Hello,

I am doing free energy calculations with gromacs 4.0.4. For the  
system I am using, I have reliable runs without any crashes when  
running in serial. When I run in parallel, I get stochastic crashes,  
that always have the same form (see below). Note that the "missing  
interactions" always involve the decoupled molecule and do not occur  
when decoupling the coulombics, but when decoupling the LJ  
interactions. I have included error messages below and then the mdp  
options.


I will do some more tests to see if I can get rid of the problem by  
turning off domain decomposition and whatever else I can think of,  
but it strikes me that this may be related to the table  
representation of intramolecular interactions for the decoupled  
molecule not playing nice with domain decomposition. Any ideas here  
would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you,
Chris.

4. cc -c test.c to creat test.o
5. ar rcv libtest.a test.o; ranlib libtest.a
6. libtest.a also goes to /usr/local/lib (libtest has been created to
avoid __ctype_b errors because
   of mismatch between gcc compiler versions of current & the one which
created libmopac.a
7. ON bash shell:
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -Wl,--wrap,__ctype_b"
export CPPFLAGS=-DUSE_MOPAC
export LIBS="-lmopac -ltest"
8. in gromacs directory:
./configure --with-qmmm-mopac
make -j4
make install

This completes the compilation w/o any error. I am still to run any qmmm,
so cann't yet :( comment on the accuracy of process.

RE: [gmx-users] md.mdp query

2009-04-07 Thread Antonia V .

At the beginning of your md.mdp file you will see the following:

; RUN CONTROL PARAMETERS
integrator   = steep

With this command you ask GROMACS to energy minimize your system by steepest 
descent. 
If you want to run a md simulation you will have to change the intergrator to 
md.
You can read this, and more, in details in the manual.

Good luck
Antonia

Double precision normally gives you higher accuracy.
You might need to increase your constraint accuracy, or turn
off constraints alltogether (set constraints = none in mdp file)

writing lowest energy coordinates.


Back Off! I just backed up traj.trr to ./#traj.trr.12#

Back Off! I just backed up md.pdb to ./#md.pdb.8#

Steepest Descents converged to machine precision in 48 steps,
but did not reach the requested Fmax < 10.

Potential Energy  = -5.0149030e+06
Maximum force =  6.4650037e+02 on atom 167601
Norm of force =  7.3590344e+04


Kindly help me in this regard.I am attaching md.mdp file in which i have made 
the changes.

So for neutralizing I break 0.11 charge to 8 number of 0.01 charge and 6 
number of 0.005 cherge and add them to 8+3=11 H atoms. so the total charge 
of my ligand is +1.Is it correct way to solve this problem in the case that 
I could not find any missing atom in ligand topology file?





No.  When using pdb2gmx, how did you specify the N- and C-termini?  Did you just 
indicate NH3+ and COO-?  If so, this is incorrect.  You have to use the 
zwitterionic options (since you are indeed dealing with a zwitterion).


The broken charge comes from this mistake.

If you ever find yourself with a fractional charge, do not get creative about 
how to interpret it.

[gmx-users] the reson for neutralizing the charge

2009-04-07 Thread hazizian

Hi
my ligand is Arginine (so it is not neccessary to use PRODRG )and the OPLS 
forcefield of gromacs make the itp file of it. I check and all the atoms 
present in the ligand itp file.There is no missing atom in the file.

So for neutralizing I break 0.11 charge to 8 number of 0.01 charge and 6 
number of 0.005 cherge and add them to 8+3=11 H atoms. so the total charge 
of my ligand is +1.Is it correct way to solve this problem in the case that 
I could not find any missing atom in ligand topology file?

Hello justin ,

thanks for ur previous suggestion . I am doing simulation of membrene

I have made topology accordingly like this-

; Include forcefield parameters
#include "ffG53a6.itp"
#include "lipid.itp"
#include "dmpc.itp"



As I have said, time and time again, the above setup will likely give problems. 
 What you should do is append the relevant directives from lipid.itp into 
ffG53a6nb.itp and ffG53a6bon.itp, removing the section called ";; parameters for 
lipid-GROMOS interactions," as they pertain to ffgmx.



[ molecules ]

Protein_A1
Protein_B1

This isn't going to work either, since Na corresponds to an ffgmx NA+ ion; you 
need NA+, which is the correct nomenclature for ffG53a6.




But when I run the grompp command I got the error like this-
Fatal error:
Atomtype CA not found



Again, this is an ffgmx atom type, probably because you're using this hacked 
topology; including lipid.itp as is calls some ffgmx atom types.

I have tried to solve this problem by adding CA atom with its mass  in 
ffG53a6.atp file and atom CA with its all information ffG53a6nb.itp file 
but even after doing this correction I am getting same error .

Please Can u suggest me what should I have to do to solve this problem .

I am a new gromacs user , I have done the simulation of protein and

no much idea .

Hi,

search in config.log for the compiler error. This should tell you the

RE: [gmx-users] the reson for neutralizing the charge

2009-04-07 Thread Berk Hess

Hi,

The issue here is not so much net neutrality of the whole system
(although there can be important reasons for wanted this),
but that your system has a small fractional charge.
This indicates that there a probably missing atoms, probably in your ligand.
That is a serious problem which you should fix.
Check if all atoms in your ligand are present in the topology file.

You need to define a group with SOL and the ions in an index file. This 
is uses as input to grompp so that it can make sense of the same group 
name when used in the .mdp file. See

Homa Azizian wrote:

Hi Justin and all
when I do this command: pdb2gmx -ignh -f .pdb -o .pdb -water spce 
with OPLS force field.
it seems that the protein has the charge of -3, while the ligand has the 
charge of 0.890 and finally it prints that the final charge is -2.11. I 
neutralized this charge with 2 NA+ so -0.11 charge remain (sorry for my 
mistake this is 0.11 not 0.08).


So you should go and look at this ligand's topology and see where the 
charge is going wrong. The partial charges should at least vaguely 
correlate with chemical intuition.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.


Physical systems are normally neutral - cells have to do work to 
maintain ion and/or charge imbalances.


Physical models were normally parameterized under neutral conditions - 
but you should check the literature for your force field.


Some algorithms might be doubtful under non-neutral conditions - I'm not 
sure whether Ewald methods are well-formed in such cases. Most 
derivations I've seen seem to require it.
