[gmx-users] problem in energy minimisation to allow only hydrogen molecule to relax

2009-07-06 Thread nitu sharma
Dear all


  I have to apply only Hydrogen molecule will be relax during energy
minimization of protein molecule.

can anyone have idea about what short of changes I have to make in em.mdp
file to allow only hydrogen molecule is relaxable during energy
minimisation?
my em.mdp file like this-


Thanks a lot in advance.

Re: [gmx-users] changing pdb file residue name

2009-07-06 Thread Tsjerk Wassenaar
Hi Rukmani Sridharan,

It's not a matter of name. Gromacs is unlikely to have a topological
description of the molecule and you have to provide that. See

http://oldwiki.gromacs.org/index.php/Parameterization

Cheers,

Tsjerk

 Hi,
 I am a bit new to gromacs and am familiarizing myself with the various
 commands. I want to simulate an unusual molecule, with the formula C7H10.
 The downloaded pdb file had the residue mname MON which gromacs does not
 recognize. How should i name the residue?

Re: [gmx-users] problem during energy minimisation to allow only hydrogen molecule to relax

2009-07-06 Thread XAvier Periole


you could use position restrains on the other atoms (non hydrogens) or  
use freezing groups.


it seems that your system has a major problem: bad contacts ... check  
it prior to EM.

[gmx-users] Buffer overflow on Fedora 10

2009-07-06 Thread Adam Huffman
I have an odd problem running the Gromacs 4.0.4 RPM installable as part 
of Fedora 10.  On two machines, it runs fine.  On a third, each program 
I invoke dies as a result of the buffer overflow detector in glibc.  
Here's some example output:

Gdb might tell you to install the debuginfo of other packages too.

I have been working on getting also debug binaries in the package, but I
won't push the new package until 4.0.6 is released which fixes the build
error on ppc64 architecture.

[gmx-users] MdRun Crash

2009-07-06 Thread Samik Bhattacharya
hi,
I am running a simulation of a membrane protein in DPPC bilayer. ii have 
completed upto genion step. But when i am going to minimize the energy of the 
system the mdrun crashes showing 
Stepsize too small, or no change in energy.
Converged to machine precision,
but not to the requested precision Fmax  1000

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.

Steepest Descents converged to machine precision in 15 steps,
but did not reach the requested Fmax  10.
Potential Energy  = -9.8290938e+21
Maximum force =  6.7779973e+24 on atom 5591
Norm of force =  2.4384918e+22

i can understand the problem lies in the mdp file used, i.e. in the Epot and 
Fmax. i have rerun the step using different values but with same result.please 
suggest me how to overcome the constraints problem. thanking you in advance. 
mdp file is here

integrator    = steep        
emstep  = 0.001

Yes, I see that.  At this stage, I just want the program to start 
without crashing.  At the moment it crashes even without trying to load

If you are adventurous you could try to run it through valgrind which 
will spot memory errors.


valgrind mdrun [ options ]

You may need to install the valgrind program.



Instead of running
$ gdb g_mdrun [mdrun options]
(gdb) run
you need to run
$ gdb g_mdrun

[gmx-users] Shift electrostatic summation

2009-07-06 Thread Shuangxing Dai
Dear all,
  I was trying to modify the Shift option of electrostatic summation. Mainly
I want to modify the formulas of this electrostatic summation. From the
manual page 69, the modified non-bonded interactions, the formulas about
Shift is there. In the file /src/gmxlib/shift_util.c, there are these
formulas. So is this the only file for Shift? Since I have added some printf
lines to this file, I do not see the result when I recompile and use Shift.
I doubt whether this function was called to do Shift.  Or is there any other
file related with the Shift method and I need to change?
Thanks in advance.

Re: [gmx-users] False C6/C12 parameter for DMSO and chloroform in GROMOS 45a3 force field (ffG45a3)

2009-07-06 Thread Markus Tusch

Roman Affentranger schrieb:

Dear gmx-users (and developers ;-)

I believe there are false LJ pair-parameters in gromacs' implementation of
the GROMOS 45a3 force field for interactions between the atoms of DMSO, and
between the atoms of chloroform. The C6/C12 pair paramteters for
CDMSO-SDMSO, ODMSO-SDMSO, ODMSO-CDMSO, and CLCHL-CCHL, HCHL-CCHL, HCHL-CLCHL
in ffG45a3nb.itp are simply the (root of the) product of the individual
atomic parameters, whereas separate parameters - with no relation to the
atomic ones - are defined in the original GROMOS force field. 

Hi Roman,

I think there actually is a relation of the pair parameters to the 
individual atomic parameters in G43a1 as well as in G45a3 since all of 
the values are based on the same epsilon and sigma numbers.

(For DMSO:
epsilon = 1.297 kJ/mol for S, 1.7154 for O,  0.9414 for CH3
sigma =   0.356 nm for S, 0.263 for O,   0.366 for CH3)

The difference in the C6/C12 pair parameters apparently is due to the 
use of different combination rules (see GROMACSmanual-4.0.pdf, chapter 
5.3.3).
For G45a3 equations (5.1) and (5.3) are used to calculate the respective 
pair parameters, whereas for G43a1 eq. (5.4) and after that (5.1) are used.


So I guess the question is, which is the right way for the combination?

Cheers,

Markus

The errors are
there in the force field files distributed with gromacs version 4.0.5 all
the way down to at least version 3.2.1 (it's as far as I've looked), and
also in the ffG45a3.tar.gz file to be found at
http://www.gromacs.org/index.php?title=Download_%26_Installation/User_contributions/Force_fields

For example:
The lines in ffG45a3nb.itp read:
   CDMSOSDMSO  1  0.009777435  2.1627421e-05
...
   ODMSOSDMSO  1  0.004897196  4.0192831e-06
   ODMSOCDMSO  1  0.0045335636  4.0434685e-06

However, they should be
   CDMSOSDMSO  1  0.0097827  2.16523e-05
...
   ODMSOSDMSO  1  0.0052442  4.6094e-06
   ODMSOCDMSO  1  0.0049187  4.7597e-06
as they are in the GROMOS 43a1 force field.
A similar problem holds for chloroform (atoms CCHL, CLCHL and HCHL).

Find attached a corrected version of ffG45a3nb.itp.

Roman

Re: [gmx-users] trouble with a triple bond

2009-07-06 Thread Alexander Bujotzek
Thanks for the help, I think it worked out.

Just for the record:
For my chain-like molecule
...- C17 - C18 # C19 - C20 - ... (# = triple bond)

I defined C18 and C19 to be virtual sites defined by the positions of C17
and C20:

[ virtual_sites2 ]
; Site from funct a
18 17 20 1 0.353365385
19 17 20 1 0.646634615

And constrained the distance between C17 and C20 to be the sum of the
three original bonds shown above:

[ constraints ]
; index1 index2 funct length(nm)
17 20 1 0.416

However, I had to set the mass of the non-virtual particles C18 and C19
to zero, as Gromacs demands virtual sites have no mass.
So technically speaking, my molecule has lost weight. I hope that doesn't
lead to artefacts, but as of now trajectories are looking good.

Regards,

Alex

 Dear all,
 I am experiencing some trouble with a small molecule containing a C-C
triple bond, using a topology built by PRODRG beta. I intend to use
ffG43a2, with a contraint on all bond lengths.
 Energy minization does not converge, as forces on the atoms involved in
the bond seem to oscillate (not very high forces, though).
 Position restrained MD fails with LINCS errors,
 and unrestrained MD leads to a blow-up of the system.
 I guess the fault lies in the representation of the triple bond in the
topology file, as a derivate of the molecule (with a single bond in the
same place) works just fine.
 Excerpt from the itp building block provided by PRODRG beta. The triple
bond is supposed to be between carbons 18 and 19:

 There is no dihedral with 18 and 19 in the middle, but I assume that is
correct as triple bonds are not supposed to be rotatable?
 What strikes me is the high force constant on the two 180 degree angles...
 may that be a source of error?
 Any help is appreciated! Maybe someone even has a working template of a
correct triple bond topology at hand?
 Best regards and thank you for reading
 Alex
 PS: I also checked ffG43a2bon.itp, but I found nothing resembling a C-C
triple bond... or maybe it's just the heat in my office.

Re: [gmx-users] False C6/C12 parameter for DMSO and chloroform in GROMOS 45a3 force field (ffG45a3)

2009-07-06 Thread Roman Affentranger
Hi Markus

I can not quite follow your arguments.
The original publication on the GROMOS96 43a1 force field (W.F. van
Gunsteren et al., Biomolecular Simulation: The GROMOS96 manual and user
guide, Hochschulverlag AG an der ETH Zürich, 1996, Zürich, Switzerland)
explicitly gives the pair parameters for interactions between non-equal atom
types of DMSO (and of chloroform). See table 2.5.6.2.6 of the mentioned
book.

ffG43a1nb.itp actually contains these values.
ffG45a3nb.itp contains the pair parameter one would obtain from the atomic
parameters using eq. 5.3 in the GROMACS 4.0 manual.

So the question is not so much which one is the right combination rule,
since the pair parameter are given explicitly in the original reference of
the GROMOS96 43a1 force field, and the values of DMSO (and chloroform) have
not been reparametrized for the 45a3 force field.

Cheers,
Roman

[gmx-users] Segmentation Fault (Address not mapped)

2009-07-06 Thread darrellk

Hi Mark,
I added the energy group exclusions as indicated in your previous
response but am still experiencing the same problem. I looked at the
.log files and see that in one log file it tells me that my box is
exploding. However, I do not have many molecules in my simulation and
therefore do not think that it is possible that my box is exploding from
pressure.

Maybe if I re-state my simulation it will help you in providing me
direction on what might be causing the problem. My simulation consists
of a graphene lattice with a layer of ammonia molecules above it. The
box is very large and there is lots of empty space in the box. So I am a
little confused as to how the box could be exploding.

Thanks again in advance for your help.

Probably your system is exploding when integration fails with excessive
forces. You should look at the bottom of stdout, stderr, *and* the .log
file to diagnose. The error message you give below is merely the
diagnostic trace from the MPI library, and it not useful for finding out
what GROMACS thinks the problem might be. Further advice below.

Re: [gmx-users] including K ion in gromos96

2009-07-06 Thread XAvier Periole

1. Update to gromacs 4.0.5
2. Your file K.Itp contains repeated instructions
that it should not and therefore the error message.
Build one new from the ions.itp.

I am surprised gromos dos not have K+ ion!

No.

Hi:
Why Not?

lincs-warnangle   =   30
this allows each covalent bond to rotate at most 30 degrees

all bonds have less degree of freedom to rotate..

So, I think the dihedral angle will be affect... and the dihedral angle
will some or less decreased.  ??


Thank you
Lin

 Hi
 In the .mdp file, i set lincs-warnangle = 30.
 Will the dihedral angles be affected?
 Will the maximum, possible values of the dihedral angles be reduced
 because of the setup of the bond constraints?

Hi Mark,
I added the energy group exclusions as indicated in your previous
response but am still experiencing the same problem. I looked at the
.log files and see that in one log file it tells me that my box is
exploding. However, I do not have many molecules in my simulation and
therefore do not think that it is possible that my box is exploding from
pressure.


Sure, but if there's something malformed with your model physics or 
starting configuration, then large forces can make anything explode.


Look at your structures at each point and see where things start to go 
wrong. Make sure you've used editconf on your starting structure to 
provide the right box dimensions.


Mark


Maybe if I re-state my simulation it will help you in providing me
direction on what might be causing the problem. My simulation consists
of a graphene lattice with a layer of ammonia molecules above it. The
box is very large and there is lots of empty space in the box. So I am a
little confused as to how the box could be exploding.

Thanks again in advance for your help.

Probably your system is exploding when integration fails with excessive
forces. You should look at the bottom of stdout, stderr, *and* the .log
file to diagnose. The error message you give below is merely the
diagnostic trace from the MPI library, and it not useful for finding out
what GROMACS thinks the problem might be. Further advice below.

Re: [gmx-users] Shift electrostatic summation

2009-07-06 Thread Mark Abraham

Shuangxing Dai wrote:

Dear all,

  I was trying to modify the Shift option of electrostatic summation. 
Mainly I want to modify the formulas of this electrostatic summation. 
 From the manual page 69, the modified non-bonded interactions, the 
formulas about Shift is there. In the file /src/gmxlib/shift_util.c, 
there are these formulas. So is this the only file for Shift? Since I 
have added some printf lines to this file, I do not see the result when 
I recompile and use Shift. I doubt whether this function was called to 
do Shift.  Or is there any other file related with the Shift method and 
I need to change?


It won't be called... the routines in src/gmxlib/nonbonded/xxx are used.

The easiest way to experiment with changes to (nonbonded) interactions 
is to use table potentials. See various sections of the manual.

I sum up all the instantaneous data in the abc.xvg and average them.
I got different average data as those shown up on the screen after

The average values reported in the .edr file are not necessarily the 
averages of the values in the .edr file. See manual appendix.

[gmx-users] using editconf to duplicate membrane

2009-07-06 Thread Bing Bing
Dear all,
I want to extend the membrane into 512 POPC with the starting structure of
128 POPC. I 've used :-
editconf -f xxx.pdb -scale 2 2 1 -o zzz.pdb.
I noticed that the pdb file that generated by editconf have only 1 set of
128 popc. Using vmd, the extended structure is in pieces, the no bond
between each atom. When i checked the pdb file, i didn't find any atomic
coordination for the extended set of POPC. Did i missed out anything here?
or what I've done is wrong here?

When i used genconf , the extended structure looks fine. But, i found some
discussion regarding genconf whereby the structure will not be in one pieces
if this command is used. Please advice.

Thank in advance.


Regards,
bing
