[gmx-users] angle restraints

2010-06-10 Thread subarna thakur
hello
I want to add angle restraints in my itp file for a ligand. what is the proper 
way of inserting angle restraint in .itp file ? Is there any keywords I have to 
add to my .mdp file for angle restraints? I have searched the mail archieve, 
I found many things about adding dihedral angle restraints but I couldnot find 
anything about adding angle restrains. Please advice.

[gmx-users] Position restrained Dynamics

2010-06-10 Thread nikhil damle
Hi All,


I am trying to simulate kinase domain (chain A) in complex with cyclin (chain 
B). During solvent dynamics, PBC on and PME treatment of electrostatics, i need 
to keep only kinase domain flexible but cyclin fixed.

i put POSRES_B in define variable and tried to simulated the entire solvated 
system in GROMACS 4 package. But time and again it failed with LINCS warnings. 
On the contrary, if entire system is kept either flexible or position 
restrained, run is obtained without any errors. I tried 1ns MD. Unable to 
understand possible reasons.

Could anybody help in this regard ?

Regards,
Nikhil

NPT equilibration with position restraints is not unreasonable, but if your 
density is not correct, then your box needs to change size. Since the 
position-restrained component can't change its coordinates much, you'll need to 
equilibrate for a while to let other things rearrange around it.





Don't T-couple ions seperately. See

[gmx-users] g_rmsf -res

2010-06-10 Thread Carla Jamous
Hi Everyone,

please I have a question concerning g_rmsf.
I need to compare the RMSF from my initial structure to the RMSF of my
average structure.

To do so, I need to calculate the average per residue.

When I did

g_rmsf -s .tpr -f .xtc -n .ndx -b xx -e yy -o rmsf

or

g_rmsf -s .tpr -f .xtc -n .ndx -b xx -e yy  -res -o rmsf

I got the same result, when choosing C-alpha for root mean square
calculation.

So please can anyone explain how can I get the average per residue over a
period of time?

Thanks,
Carla

Single structures (initial c.q. average) do not have an RMSF.

 g_rmsf -s .tpr -f .xtc -n .ndx -b xx -e yy -o rmsf

 g_rmsf -s .tpr -f .xtc -n .ndx -b xx -e yy  -res -o rmsf

This is not what you did. Please copy/paste command lines.

 I got the same result, when choosing C-alpha for root mean square
 calculation.

Sure, when selecting C-alphas, averaging the RMSF per residue
(sum_over_calphas_in_residue/number_of_calphas_in_residue) will
evidently be identical to calculating the RMSF on an atom basis for
each Calpha.

 So please can anyone explain how can I get the average per residue over a
 period of time?

Select 'protein' (and use the -res flag).

Cheers,

Tsjerk

Probably by restraining whatever configuration you're starting with, you're 
preserving some unresolved clashes in the system.  By either restraining both 
chains or allowing both to move, you are overcoming the problem.



Could anybody help in this regard ?



Watch the trajectory to see what's going on.  A few other general tips:

[gmx-users] problems when using command trjconv

2010-06-10 Thread mircial

Dear All:

I encounter some problems when I am using command trjconv to remove  
the periodic boundary condition.


I am doing molecular dynamics simulations of a pentamer, and some of  
the subunits jump from one box to its adjacent one. Thus, I try to  
remove the periodic boundary conditions by trjconv command.The  
commands I used are as follows:


trjconv -s trpfile -f xtcfile -o new_xtcfile -n index.ndx -pbc nojump

In the results I found the five subunits are put together to form the  
initial pentamer which is what I expected. However, I also found some  
of the subunits are cut off a part (i.e., the subunit is broken into  
one large piece and several small pieces, the large piece forms  
pentamer with other subunits, and the small pieces distribute in the  
boundary of the box).


Then, I try to solve this problem by using the follow command:

trjconv -s trpfile -f new_xtcfile_lastCommand -o another_new_xtcfile  
-n index.ndx -pbc whole


 this time, the subunits are not broken, but the pentamer is not  
formed(i.e., some subunits in one box and some in the adjancent one).


Thus, I am writing to find a way in order to remove the periodic  
boundary condition and put the subunits together as a pentamer with  
out break a seperate subunit into several parts.Could anyone be so  
kind to give me some suggestions? Thank you very much for your insight.


Best Wishes

Another option is to choose a residue near the central interface of the pentamer 
and assign it to an index group, then use trjconv -center (choosing this residue 
as the group to center).

[gmx-users] generation of bilayer structures

2010-06-10 Thread Javier Cerezo

Hi all.

I am trying to build up a bilayer consisting of a lipid (i.e. DMPC) and 
a fatty acid. Although I've seen some biblio related with this topic, 
the methodology about how to insert the fatty acid chain into an 
equilibrated bilayer is not so clear for me. In J. Phys. Chem. B 2009. 
113, 92-102, it is suggested that the fatty acid chains could be 
inserted using tlc scripting withing VDM, but no clue about the 
insertion algorithm itself.  So I tried the following (using fortran 
code): first locate the best positions to place the fatty acid chain 
and subsequently placing them and expanding the cell a bit (by a factor 
of 1.2) to ensure place enough for the inserted chains. Then the are 
rotated along z-axis to find the best orientation. Subsequent 
minimization, solvation and equilibration (NPT) should yield an optimal 
starting structure for production, but I am not entirely satisfied with 
the result (sometimes it works, sometimes the systems crashes mainly due 
to problems during communication between nodes). So I wonder if someone 
of you has an idea about an efficient way to generate lipid bilayers 
that may work for my problem.


In addition, I would like to know how Gromacs handles the coordinates 
out of the simulation box in the .gro file during a simulation. I guess 
it just replicate the coordinates inside the box by the opposite face 
(using PBC) but I would like to have comment about it if you know.


Thanks a lot!

Javier

GROMACS will run fine, and do approximately the same under either OS on 
comparable hardware with the same version of gcc, however for production 
simulation to be maximally effective you need to arrange for the simulation 
process not to be interrupted much. This is easier to arrange on Linux than 
Windows. You certainly don't want to be concurrently using either kind of 
machine as a desktop, and also you'd prefer not to be logged on to either 
machine.
