[gmx-users] Required help in topology making

2009-07-29 Thread supti mukherjee
Dear All
   I have a protein where one residue ( Lysine ) is making a covalent bond
with
   the cofactor Pyridoxal phosphate. I have created other parameters of
   heteroatom PLP  through PRODRG and manual checking. But I am not sure how
to
   include the parameters for the imine bond ( C=N  bond ) that has been
   formed between side chain amine group of lysine and aldehyde group of
   Pyridoxal phosphate.
   Do I have to edit  C-termini database file ( ff-c.tdb ) ?
   A clue to this problem will be highly appreciated.

Re: [gmx-users] question about continuation using tpbconv and mdrun -cpi

2009-07-29 Thread Baofu Qiao
Hi Mark,

Thanks!
Because the maximum time for one single job is set to be 24hours on the
cluster I'm using, I want to make sure which is the best way to continue
the gmx jobs. I wonder how strong effect mdrun -cpi has?  From the
introduction of mdrun, it seems that there are some EXTRA energy frames,
but for the trajectory file (.xtc), there is no extra frames? Am I right?

mdrun -h
-- The contents will be binary identical (unless you use dynamic load
balancing), but for technical reasons there might be some extra energy
frames when using checkpointing (necessary for restarts without appending).

best wishes,

 Hi all,

 Recently I made some tests on the continuation of gmx 4.0.5. Firstly, I
 run a complete simulation as the reference. In the full.mdp file,
 gen_seed=123456  continuation=yes are used to build the same initial
 structure.  In all the simulations, mdrun -dlb no is used because I
 want to reproduce exactly the same potential energy.

 1. Using tpbconv.  (part1.mdp is the same as full.mdp except the
 nsteps)
   1a) grompp  -s part1
   mpirun -np 32 mdrun -deffnm part1 -dlb no
   tpbconv -s part1.tpr -f part1.trr -e part1.edr -extend 100 -o
 part2
   mpirun -np 32 mdrun -deffnm part2 -dlb no
   eneconv -f part1.edr part2.edr -o part_all.edr
   1b) tpbconv -s part1.tpr -extend 100 -o part2.tpr
   mpirun -np 32 mdrun -deffnm part2 -cpi part1.cpt -dlb no
   eneconv -f part1.edr part2.edr -o part_all.edr
 The potential energy is generated from g_energy, and compared. In this
 method, I met two problems:  Q.a) The potential energies of
 part2  in both 1a and 1b are not
 exactly the same as the reference potential!  And also the potential of
 part2 in 1a is different from that in 1b. (Both potentials of part1 from
 1a and 1b are identical to the reference.)
  Q.b) The RMSD of the potential energies of part_all.edr is very big
 (1 order of magnitude bigger than the corresponding one from the
 separate .edr files)

 2) using mdrun -cpi -append
 grompp -s full2
 mpirun -np 32 mdrun -deffnm full2 -dlb no  (stop the job at some
 time point, then run the following)
 mpirun -np 32 mdrun -deffnm full2 -dlb no  -cpi full2_prev.cpt
 -append
 The second (-append) section of the potential energy is also different
 from the result of the reference potential, even though I am using the
 same full.mdp file.  (the potential in the former section is identical
 to the reference)

 Then, how to reproduce exactly the potential?

 While mdrun -dlb no is a good start, mdrun -reprod takes care of
 some other things too...

  It is said that the
 continuation from mdrun -cpi is binary identical. 

 Not quite... it's an exact restart from the old point in the ensemble,
 but the manner in which mdrun does future integration is only
 reproducible if you force it to be so.

 However, it seems
 not in my tests. What's the problem of the very big RMSD of the
 potential from eneconv?

 Not sure.

No, that's only useful for tweaking things along the peptide backbone.

Simplest, if you already know what you are doing, is to edit the .rtp 
file to make a modified lysine residue that has the cofactor with all 
the right parameters. Then pdb2gmx can just work on a structure you 
provide that has the cofactor. Detailed knowledge of chapter 5 of the 
manual will be required.


As a guide, you might construct a cofactor-bound lysine, and give that 
to PRODRG and use the topology generated as a partial template for the 
modified lysine residue. Perhaps work on a H2C=N lysine modification 
first of all, and then scale up.


Whether PRODRG generates suitable parameters is something you will have 
to verify independently.

mdrun -h
-- The contents will be binary identical (unless you use dynamic load

The intent with GROMACS 4.x is for a user to be able to construct a .tpr 
with a very long simulation time, and perhaps constrain mdrun with -maxh 
(or rely on the cluster killing the job), and to use the information in 
the checkpoint file to restart correctly and perhaps to then use mdrun 
-append so that when the simulation is running smoothly, only one set of 
files needs to exist. Thus one doesn't need to trouble with using 
tpbconv correctly, crashes can restart transparently, etc. The old-style 
approach still works, however.


Obviously you should (be able to) verify with mdrun -reprod that 
whatever approach you use when you construct your job scripts leads to 
simulations that are in principle reproducible. For production, don't 
use -reprod because you will want the better speed from dynamic load 
balancing, etc.

I am not sure what you mean... the while line as a variable? I'm pretty

I meant to suggest including in the script

command=mpirun mdrun -youroptions
print $command
`$command`

or similar. Then the output can tell you what the state of the

[gmx-users] infinite surface

2009-07-29 Thread Giulio Scocchi
Hello everybody.

 

I am a Gromacs beginner, so sorry if this question is trivial and/or I
am not precise. I would like to simulate an infinite surface of graphene
(or any other planar lattice structure). Gromacs supports pbc also in
two directions (as far as I understood) and that would really be perfect
for my purposes but.. in order to have a periodic infinite lattice, I
need to have atoms on one face of the cell being connected to the atoms
on the opposite face. So, how can I do this? Just by modifying the
CONNECT section of the input .pdb file? Will gmx programs understand? J


 

Thank you in advance!

 

Regards

 

Giulio

RE: [gmx-users] How to fi all atoms and to calculate the energy

2009-07-29 Thread osmair oliveira

Hi Luis,
If you want only the initial energy, you can try minimize your
system using gradient conjugate (cg) or steepest descent (steep) algorithm
with large value of tolerance (emtol). Of course, using steeps of MD from 
GROMACS.

I hope this help.

[gmx-users] -append on jugene overwrites trr

2009-07-29 Thread Dr. Leonid Yelash
Hello all together,

in my compilation of Gromacs 4.0.5 on JUGENE (a Blue
Gene/P machine in Jülich), the -append option does not
work properly.
When i restart a simulation from a checkpoint, the mdrun
recognizes the checkpoint and -append (one can see it in
md.log), but instead of appending to md.log, traj.trr, ener.edr,
it overwrites them. The file offsets in state.cpt (printed
by gmxdump -cp) are shown here:

 number of output files = 3
 output filename = md.log
 file_offset_high = 0
 file_offset_low = 21265
 output filename = traj.trr
 file_offset_high = 0
 file_offset_low = 9021240
 output filename = ener.edr
 file_offset_high = 0
 file_offset_low = 5872

The same distribution compiled for JUMP (a Power6 machine
running under AIX) works correctly. Details to the machines
can be found here
http://www.fz-juelich.de/jsc/service/sco_ibmBGP
http://www.fz-juelich.de/jsc/service/sco_ibmP6

Does anybody know how to solve/work around? At the
moment i have to store continuations of a simulation run into
different directories, which complicates analysing data, e.g.
the calculation of time-dependent properties for the whole run.

Many thanks in advance for any hints!

Possibly that's intrinsic to the way I/O is handled on BlueGene. It 
should be simple to create a test program that tries to append to an 
existing file.

Hi,

I don't know if you know eneconv and trjcat, these programs can merge your

So you can still do all your analysis.

 Possibly that's intrinsic to the way I/O is handled on BlueGene. It

[gmx-users] about mdrun_make_hole.tar.gz

2009-07-29 Thread Moutusi Manna
Dear all,
    I want to insert a protein (L-shaped) in lipid bilayer whose 
C-terminal segment remains trans-membrane with solvent exposed N-terminus. For 
that reason, i want to use make_hole program. I have downloaded 
mdrun_make_hole.tar.gz  gromacs-3.1.4.tar.gz from the new gromacs homepage. 
But when i try to uncompress mdrun_make_hole.tar.gz using gunzip or tar -zxvf, 
the file seems to be corrupted. From the old gromacs homepage this file can not 
be downloaded. 
   Can anyone provide me the mdrun_make_hole.tar.gz file.

 I am a Gromacs beginner, so sorry if this question is trivial and/or I

 two directions (as far as I understood) and that would really be perfect

 need to have atoms on one face of the cell being connected to the atoms
 on the opposite face. So, how can I do this? Just by modifying the

No, GROMACS ignores CONNECT sections. Check out the advice here.

[gmx-users] How to change the protonation state of an aminoacid in a peptide

2009-07-29 Thread Camilo Andrés Jimenez Cruz
Hi.

I have the gro file for a peptide in vacuum, in the peptide, there is
only one ASP, and I want to change it to ASPH.
If I run pdb2gmx -asp and select the protonated state, the only change
is in the name of the residue (it doesn't add the needed hydrogen).
Is there any automatic way changing the protonated state for this residue?

Thanks in advance

Well, the command that you entered should have worked (it always has for me). 
As for getting any extra advice, you will have to provide a much more complete 
description, including the following:


1. Which force field you are trying to use
2. Relevant output (from screen and from the structure/topology)
3. Which Gromacs version you are using
4. Any relevant details on compiler types, computer system, and how Gromacs was

I already found the problem, Thanks!

The point is that I was using a non standard forcefield, In this

find the ASPH and as it couldn't it didn't changed anything.

This is usually given in the literature: Lennard-Jones interactions were 
shifted to zero smoothly between [rvdw-switch] and [rvdw].  I don't know any 
force field for which a 0.7-nm vdW cutoff is really appropriate; most were 
parameterized with longer cutoffs.  I suggest looking into values designed for 
whatever force field you are using, and whether or not such a treatment of vdW 
terms is appropriate.

[gmx-users] Pulling a CG protein

2009-07-29 Thread Johnny Lam
Dear gromacs users,

Hi, I am trying to pull apart a relatively large protein (CG using the
martini force field) by pulling on two groups in opposite directions. To
do this, I will be using the following .mdp file. However, I am almost
certain that it contains errors:

title= Martini
cpp  = /usr/bin/cpp

; RUN CONTROL PARAMETERS =
; MARTINI - Most simulations are stable with dt=40 fs,
; some (especially rings) require 20-30 fs.
; The range of time steps used for parametrization
; is 20-40 fs, using smaller time steps is therefore not recommended.

integrator   = md
; start time and timestep in ps
tinit= 0.0
dt   = 0.030
nsteps   = 17000
; number of steps for center of mass motion removal =
nstcomm  = 1
comm-grps=

; OUTPUT CONTROL OPTIONS =
; Output frequency for coords (x), velocities (v) and forces (f) =
nstxout  = 2500
nstvout  = 2500
nstfout  = 0
; Output frequency for energies to log file and energy file =
nstlog   = 1000
nstenergy= 1000
; Output frequency and precision for xtc file =
nstxtcout= 1000
xtc_precision= 100
; This selects the subset of atoms for the xtc file. You can =
; select multiple groups. By default all atoms will be written. =
xtc-grps =
; Selection of energy groups =
energygrps   =

; NEIGHBORSEARCHING PARAMETERS =
; MARTINI - no need for more frequent updates
; or larger neighborlist cut-off due
; to the use of shifted potential energy functions.

; nblist update frequency =
nstlist  = 10
; ns algorithm (simple or grid) =
ns_type  = grid
; Periodic boundary conditions: xyz or none =
pbc  = xyz
; nblist cut-off =
rlist= 1.4

; OPTIONS FOR ELECTROSTATICS AND VDW =
; MARTINI - vdw and electrostatic interactions are used
; in their shifted forms. Changing to other types of
; electrostatics will affect the general performance of
; the model.

; Method for doing electrostatics =
coulombtype  = Shift
rcoulomb_switch  = 0.0
rcoulomb = 1.2
; Dielectric constant (DC) for cut-off or DC of reaction field =

; cut-off lengths=
rvdw_switch  = 0.9
rvdw = 1.2
; Apply long range dispersion corrections for Energy and Pressure =
DispCorr = No

; OPTIONS FOR WEAK COUPLING ALGORITHMS =
; MARTINI - normal temperature and pressure coupling schemes
; can be used. It is recommended to couple individual groups
; in your system seperately.

; Temperature coupling   =
tcoupl   = V-Rescale
; Groups to couple separately =
tc-grps  = PROTEIN W
; Time constant (ps) and reference temperature (K) =

ref_p= 1.0

; GENERATE VELOCITIES FOR STARTUP RUN =
gen_vel  = no
gen_temp = 323
gen_seed = 666

; OPTIONS FOR BONDS =
; MARTINI - for ring systems constraints are defined

constraints  = none
; Type of constraint algorithm =

; Do not constrain the start configuration =
unconstrained_start  = no
; Highest order in the expansion of the constraint coupling matrix =

; Lincs will write a warning to the stderr if in one step a bond =

; FREEZE GROUP

; Pulling
pull=  afm
pull_geometry   =  direction
pull_start  =  no
pull_nstxout=  10
pull_nstfout=  10
pull_ngroups=  2
pull_group0 =
pull_group1 =  pull
pull_vec1   =  -0.1764 -0.9823 -0.0625
pull_init1  =  -0.1764 -0.9823 -0.0625
pull_rate1  =  0.0001
pull_k1 =  1000

pull_vec2   =  0.1764 0.9823 0.0625
pull_init2  =  0.1764 0.9823 0.0625
pull_rate2  =  0.01
pull_k2 =  5000


The reason why group 2 has such a high force constant and low pull rate is
because I wanted to simulate putting a harmonic constraint on the freeze
group. However, when I process this .mdp with grompp, I get the following
message:

WARNING 1 [file md_vinculin.mdp, line unknown]:
  Unknown or double left-hand 'pull_group2' in parameter file

Without seeing the command lines that you're issuing, we can only assume you are 
doing something wrong.

Hello,

More specifically, I am unsure as to the procedure of inflating and
minimizing a bilayer using InflateGRO.  In the tutorial at:

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

I followed it successfully up to the inflation step, but I do not know
specifically what parameters to run the energy minimisation.  Please advise.

Thank you.

Most general EM .mdp files are suitable; a simple one is linked in Step 1 on the 
page you quote above, Orient the protein and membrane; modifications that 
should be made to it are described in Step 2, Pack the lipids around the protein.


The caveat to my membrane protein tutorial was that the user should already be 
used to normal input/output routines with Gromacs.  A simpler tutorial to 
familiarize you with Gromacs procedures can be found at:


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

It might be useful if you are unfamiliar with simulation protocols with Gromacs, 
since it is conceptually easier and more detailed in the description of each 
step. If the minimized bilayer is not showing up as inflated, then you probably 
invoked InflateGRO incorrectly (hence why I asked for the command lines you 
invoked).  Usage is described in the text of the inflategro.pl script, and I 
describe typical scaling factors that should be used for the procedure in the 
tutorial.

 As pressing download it seems to open binary file in the browser

 How is it possible to access these data now?
