[gmx-users] Visualization of .trr problem in VMD

2010-04-03 Thread shahid nayeem
Dear All
I am working on protein unfolding
simulation in gromacs. when I do a production run on 32 node HPC I get
.trr  file along with .gro. when I try to visualize this files in
VMD I see erratic large movement of atoms in the trajectory. With same
.mdp files when I did smaller run of 2ns on single PC and viewed .trr
and .gro in VMD, the movemnt of atom was smooth. Why this is
happening. When I used the command g_filter to produce lowpass.xtc
with -nf 10 I got the smooth movement of atoms. Is it always essential
to use g_filter with .trr file of HPC multinode output. what is the
difference between lowpass.xtc and highpass.xtc. For the pupose of
RMSD calculation should I use the output of g_filter i.e. lowpass.xtc
or the original .trr file. I am new in this field so excuse me for
some basic mistakes . Any suggestion and help will highly appreciated.
Thanking you in advance.

[gmx-users] Can gromacs be compiled for openmp

2010-04-03 Thread lina
Hi everyone,

Can gromacs be compiled for openmp

Due to use mulitcore processors, so I am interested in how to compile
with openmp.

Thanks and regards,

This sounds like a consequence of periodic boundary conditions.  Have you tried 
using trjconv to fix the PBC effects (i.e., -pbc mol, -pbc nojump, or something 
similar)?

The purpose is to smooth out high-frequency vibration to make visualization a

There is no openmp implementation of mdrun in gromacs. The upcoming 
version 4.5 will have a threaded implementation though, but for now you 
need to compile with MPI.

Hi,

I tried to use 4 and 8 CPUs.
There are about 6000 atoms in my system.
The interconnect of our computer is the network with speed 1Gb but not optical 
fiber.

I'm sorry for my poor English and I couldn't express well in my question.
Everytime I submitted the parallel job, the nodes assigned to mehave been 100% 
loading,
and the CPU source availble to me is less then 10%.
I think there is something wrong with my submit script or executable script, 
so I post them in my question before.(please see those below)

Hsin-Lin
 Hi, 
 
 how many CPUs do you try to use? How big is your system. What kind of 
 interconnect? Since you use condor probably some pretty slow interconnect. 
 Than you can't aspect it to work on many CPUs. If you want to use many CPUs 
 for MD you need a faster interconnect.

Please consult the documentation.  From g_sas -h:

The program will ask for a group for the surface calculation and a group for 
the output. The calculation group should always consists of all the non-solvent 
atoms in the system. The output group can be the whole or part of the 
calculation group.

Actually this documentation is not correct.

The calculation group are those atoms taken into account in the 
computation, whether or not they are solvent accessible. If you select a 
group consisting of a single residue in a protein the SAS will be 
computed as if the rest of the protein is not there. Very useful when 
you want to compute protein-protein interface areas.

No they aren't; you create .eps files from the .xpm output that do_dssp 
generates.


We can see the second structures of the all residues.
I only want to see the change of the second structures of some specific 
residues.

How can i do it?



As with most (all) Gromacs analysis tools, create an index group for the 
residues you want to analyze.  That will require you to re-run your analysis or 
otherwise hack your .xpm file (probably not a good idea).



Also, how can I change the thickness of the color band for each residue?


Use an appropriate .m2p file to alter the attributes of the data.  An example is 
given in the online manual.


The logo indicates the color of different second structure is shown not 
clear for me, how can i make the change on it?




Do you want to change the colors assigned, or some other aspect of the legend? 
You could, in theory, edit the color assignments in the .xpm file.

Hi

I plan to do 'fluid in channel' simulations using GROMACS 4.0.7. For that I
need to use custom potential field parameters for fluid-fluid and fluid-wall
interactions.

So my question is that, how can I use potential table approach to specify
fluid-fluid and fluid-wall interactions seperately?

Thanks

Hi

I plan to do 'fluid in channel' simulations using GROMACS 4.0.7. For 
that I need to use custom potential field parameters for fluid-fluid and 
fluid-wall interactions.


So my question is that, how can I use potential table approach to 
specify fluid-fluid and fluid-wall interactions seperately?




Start with the manual, section 6.7.2, and see the table*.xvg in the /share/top 
subdirectory of your Gromacs installation for examples.

Thanks

If zero atoms were inserted, there probably isn't enough space for them in

Thanks for reply.
I intended to add some silicon atoms just into ice structure, so the
simulation box only containing ice. You said there probably isn't enough
space for them in the box. Did you mean I can't insert these atoms into ice
structure if the box only containing ice?
Is there any other way to insert silicon atoms into a solid ice structure?
Thanks a lot.

Best,
william

Well, are there cavities in the ice structure sufficiently large to fit your 
silicon atoms?  Judging by the failure of your approach, I'd say there's not.

You could try generating some random configuration of silicon atoms, then:

genbox -cp si.pdb -cs ice.pdb

You would then, of course, be potentially interrupting the lattice of water 
molecules if some are deleted due to overlap with your silicon atoms.  But as 
for whether or not that's important, you'll have to decide.

[gmx-users] DSSP= how to edit .eps file

2010-04-03 Thread Chih-Ying Lin
HI

1. dssp -n index.ndx
= only atom numbers of one residue in the index.ndx
= can dssp decide the exact second structure for the only one residue
without considering other residues of protein?
= can i get the same second structure for the residue with [ dssp -n
one-residue.ndx ] and  [dssp -n protein-main chain + H .ndx ] ?


2. The legend indicates the color of different second structure is shown
under the secondary-structure plot.
I don't want to change the colors assigned, but one legend is
half-shown. The picture of legend is cut.
   How can I get that legend full-shown.



3. With the option
-sss string  HE

HE = helix ?


Thanks
Lin

THe command =

In the solvent-accessible-surface.xvg =

@ s2 legend Total
@ s3 legend D Gsolv

What does Hydrophobic mean here?
What does Hydrophilic mean here?
Does Total = Hydrophobic+Hydrophilic ?
What does D Gsolv mean here?
How can Gromacs define Hydrophobic atoms and Hydrophilic atoms ?



What does the Area unit mean ? =  Area (nm\S2\N)


Thank you
