Provide a full description. What's the system, how big is it, how did
you equilibrate it, why/how are you freezing the backbone, does the run
finish, does the trajectory look ok?

DvdS fixed this in the git source earlier this week.

[gmx-users] freeze backbone & Pressure scaling error

2009-12-14 Thread 이진희



	
	

Dear all
 
When I run produnction run using freeze backbone in GROMACS 4.0.5, the error was shown.
But I didn't use freeze backboone, the error wasn't shown.

Step 1 Warning: Pressure scaling more than 1%.

I changed "tau_p" value from 0.5 to 5 in md.mdp file, but the above error was shown.
I don't know how to solve it. Any one give some advice.
 
Thanks,

Re: [gmx-users] do_dssp Installation instructions in case you have errors

2009-12-14 Thread Mark Abraham

Kirill Bessonov wrote:
I had seen people having trouble with do_dssp and that Error line 471 
error.


Fatal error:
Failed to execute command: /usr/local/bin/dssp -na ddS7CWeR dd48KVro /dev/null 
2> /dev/null


So I would like to spill some light on the issue and make documentation 
better to understand after hours fiddling with source code.


Why did you spend hours looking at the source code? The documentation in 
do_dssp -h clearly specifies the need to set the executable name in the 
environment variable DSSP. The documentation and the error message upon 
non-existence of the path to DSSP could be improved such that it is not 
specific to C-shell.


If you have this error this means that dssp executable was not found 
even though the PATH was set correctly (i.e. DSSP path variable)


It's not a path variable - you've made a wrong assumption.

If you look at the source code the fexist funciton checks if there is 
any file in directory and returns true, so if you have any file there 
the code will run through and fail on line:


sprintf(dssp,"%s %s %s %s > /dev/null %s",
  dptr,bDoAccSurf?"":"-na",pdbfile,tmpfile,bVerbose?"":"2> /dev/null");

where dssp is the buffer of charcters and dptr is the pointer to the 
dssp executable file (not the folder!)



And that is the main source of errors, improper definition of directory 
pointer to the executable.


That's not the mistake. The "mistake" is GROMACS only checking for 
existence of the contents of DSSP and assuming the user has read the 
documentation. If the user erroneously specifies a path which exists, 
the check succeeds. It could/should check for existence, being 
executable, not being a directory, being non-zero size, not being a Unix 
virus, not being an alias for "sudo rm -rf /", etc. but one can't 
protect the user from everything :-)


Mark

Solution: To correct this mistake add to the path the name of the dssp 
exectutable.


E.g. if you named it dssp and put it in your home folder. Add to 
.bash_profile


DSSP=/home/dssp   (where dssp is not a FOLDER but name of executable)

If you named executable dsspmbi

DSSP=/home/dsspmbi   (and again dsspmbi is the name of executable)

This will define the location of dssp executable properly and you would 
not see any weird complicated errors coming up.


Hope it helps

This is just generic advice that mdrun provides.  The fact is your starting 
structure contains atomic overlap or clashes that cannot be resolved by energy 
minimization.  Have a look at the trajectory and see if you can get some insight 
into where things are going wrong (since problematic atom numbers are being 
printed, and perhaps re-consider how you built your system.

[gmx-users] do_dssp Installation instructions in case you have errors

2009-12-14 Thread Kirill Bessonov
I had seen people having trouble with do_dssp and that Error line 471 error.


Fatal error:
Failed to execute command: /usr/local/bin/dssp -na ddS7CWeR dd48KVro
/dev/null 2> /dev/null


So I would like to spill some light on the issue and make documentation
better to understand after hours fiddling with source code.

If you have this error this means that dssp executable was not found even
though the PATH was set correctly (i.e. DSSP path variable)

If you look at the source code the fexist funciton checks if there is any
file in directory and returns true, so if you have any file there the code
will run through and fail on line:

sprintf(dssp,"%s %s %s %s > /dev/null %s",
  dptr,bDoAccSurf?"":"-na",pdbfile,tmpfile,bVerbose?"":"2> /dev/null");

where dssp is the buffer of charcters and dptr is the pointer to the dssp
executable file (not the folder!)


And that is the main source of errors, improper definition of directory
pointer to the executable.

Solution: To correct this mistake add to the path the name of the dssp
exectutable.

E.g. if you named it dssp and put it in your home folder. Add to
.bash_profile

DSSP=/home/dssp   (where dssp is not a FOLDER but name of executable)

If you named executable dsspmbi

DSSP=/home/dsspmbi   (and again dsspmbi is the name of executable)

This will define the location of dssp executable properly and you would not
see any weird complicated errors coming up.

Hope it helps

Re: [gmx-users] free energy perturbation

2009-12-14 Thread Giovanni Bussi
I will try the second solution you proposed (which seems more flexible).

So, I should edit the top file (as explained in the "Topologies/File
formats/Topologies for free energy calculations" section of the
manual). And I should NOT use "couple-moltype" anymore, which is just
a shortcut for the standard case of switching a single molecule.
Right?

Thanks a lot Berk.

I have not implemented this yet.
It would indeed be useful.

Yes, this will create problems, because you are then also calculating the cost
of building up a uniform backbground charge, both in case of PME and RF.

Note that free-energies of solvation of ions are huge numbers and are relatively
difficult to determine, both in simulation and in experiment.

There are two way to work around this problem:
Put both molecules together in one moleculetype definition.
Or simply manually set the LJ and charge of the ion to zero in the A or B state 
topology.

[gmx-users] free energy perturbation

2009-12-14 Thread Giovanni Bussi
Dear all,

I am using GROMACS with free-energy perturbation to switch off a
molecule gradually. If I understand correctly, the parameter
"couple-moltype" is used to select which molecule to switch off. Is it
possible to switch off *two* molecules at the same time? (e.g. a
charged molecule and a neutralizing ion).

In case not, is there any problem related to the fact that in one of
the topologies the total charge is not zero?

Thanks a lot,

Giovanni

Load two structures into VMD separately.

Alternatively, tell us exactly what you've tried and we might see why it 
didn't work. Without knowing your command lines, all anybody can say is 
"you did it wrong".

I'm not sure about your use of "superimposed" here.

http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Terminology/Average_Structure

or

http://www.gromacs.org/About_Gromacs/Related_Software/Visualization_Software#Topology_bonds_vs_Rendered_bonds

probably answer your issue.

If you've somehow edited your file or forced VMD to read the two 
structures as one, then of course there will be excess bonds.
