[gmx-users] what is the eigenvalue unit in Gromacs?

2010-06-11 Thread DeChang Li
Dear all,

I used g_nmeig to diagonalize the Hessian matrix, that I got the
eigenvalues. However, I found that in the file 'eigenval.xvg' the unit of
the eigenvalues are Eigenvalue [Gromacs units]. What is the '[Gromacs
units]'?

Re: [gmx-users] question about how to install g_tune_pme

2010-06-11 Thread Carsten Kutzner
Hi Yi,

the most convenient way in my opinion is to copy the 
Makefile.arch from the already installed gromacs-4.0.7
version and copy it into the directory where g_tune_pme.c
is. Rename Makefile.arch to Makefile and inside it
exchange the three occurences of template by g_tune_pme.
Type make and you are going to get a g_tune_pme 
executable which you can copy to the installed gromacs-4.0.7
bin directory. If you also copy the provided completion.*
files to the gromacs bin directory, tab completion will also
work for g_tune_pme.

Example:
Let's assume gromacs is installed in /usr/local/gromacs/407/

tar -xvf g_tune_pme.tgz
cd tune
cp 
/usr/local/gromacs/407/share/gromacs/template/Makefile.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu 
.
cat Makefile.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu | sed {s/template/g_tune_pme/g}  Makefile
make
cp g_tune_pme /usr/local/gromacs/407/bin
cp completion.* /usr/local/gromacs/407/bin

That should do the trick.

Best,
  Carsten

 Hi, Everyone,
 
 We want to install g_tune_pme tool to our Gromacs-4.0.7 on our cluster. We 
 don't know which Makefile in the template directory we should use, should we 
 run make in the tune directory, or even configure, or should we compile this 
 together with gromacs? Should we use mpi library? which one?Thanks a lot.

[gmx-users] pressure scaling more than 1%

Hi all,

my simulation runs well for the first 70 steps with a

Re: [gmx-users] g_rmsf -res

2010-06-11 Thread Carla Jamous
Hi Tsjerk,

thank you for your answer.
Actually, for the initial structure, I took the values of the B factor, and
calculated the mean square displacement per atom. This is what I meant by
saying RMSF of initial structure. Anyway, thanks for the explanation.

But I have another question: I need to take 3 structures and make an average
structure of these 3. Is there a way to do it with gromacs?

Cheers,

Hi,

yes it can be done with g_covar, but such an average structure is often 
of little physical significace. Imagine for instance the acerage 
structure of a rotating methyle group (it's a bunch of atoms on a line).

[gmx-users] Coulomb (SR) problem

2010-06-11 Thread Thanasis Koukoulas
hello again

I had a problem with a sim of some molecules in vacuum and a gmx-user told me 
to do a simulation only in one molecule just to see what gromacs calculates and 
what does not. My problem concerned the sum of all energies in the system. 
After i did the sim with one molecule i found out that either gromacs either me 
calculate the Coulomb SR(short range) energy wrong. so for step 0 of this 
simulation I had this result:

Started mdrun on node 0 Fri Jun 11 12:52:33 2010

so as you can see the value of  Coulomb (SR) is
-2.93587e+01 and my calculation is 
-1302.68

I believe that even i have done wrong calculations the value that gromacs finds 
is not correct. 
I found this value from the formula sum(f*qi*qj/rij) for every atom pair like
1-2,1-3,(not the 1-4),1-5etc 2-3,2-4(not 1-2 because it is already 
calculated) etc ...3-.etc. inside the rcoulomb (the whole 
molecule)
where f is the electric conversion factor f=138,935kJmol-1*nm*e-2
IS COULOMB (SR) calculated that way by hand??? i an using PME btw

i have not done arithmetic mistake i am sure for that (at least :) )
Please consider that:
1) I dont use ffXXX.itp libraries from gromacs i have my own
2) I have tried every possible way to do this simulation for the past 3 months 
(its my problem i know that !!! :) )
3) I have calculated the coulomb 1-4 with success and great accuracy
4) I have also caclulated the LJ (SR) with success (irrelevant!!!) :)
5) i am using  gromacs 4.05

Please if you have smth to advise me about this simulation except committing 
suicide  of course :) please feel free to do it

Thanks in advance

Hi all

For restarting a crashed simulation, do you have to use the -s topol.tpr

I'm just double checking though.

If you're using default filenames, if you omit the -s flag, mdrun will look for 
topol.tpr anyway.

 -s topol.tpr is the default option so it never has to be specified
 unless you
 use a different name than topol.tpr.
 so the answer is no :)) but it does not matter

Trying to use top2psf.pl, as suggested

Usage: top2psf.pl -i (topology filename) -o (output filename)

but I get an error message saying
invalid command name top2psf.pl

Suggestions?
Thanks

Re: [gmx-users] pressure scaling more than 1%

Hi all,

my simulation runs well for the first 70 steps with a

pressure scaling is more than 1% every 1 step or so.
So, is my tau_p of 0.2 to small or is the equillibration
not done well enough.


Possibly, have you tried larger values?  Usually something on the order of 
1.0-5.0 ps is more typical.



I am simulating a small peptide in CHCl3 with an handmade
CHCl3 model. 



If you're seeing instabilities, it could also be related to the topology.  Have 
you thoroughly validated the parameters you're using for CHCl3?

[gmx-users] Disk Space

Dear Gromacs users,

I am running an MD simulation but it looks to me that I am running out  
of disk space.


This is my .mdp file

; OUTPUT CONTROL OPTIONS

; Output frequency for coords (x), velocities (v) and forces (f)
nstxout  = 100
nstvout  = 100
nstfout  = 100
; Output frequency for energies to log file and energy file
nstlog   = 100
nstenergy= 100
; Output frequency and precision for xtc file
nstxtcout= 100
xtc-precision= 100
nstcheckpoint= 100 ; checkpointing helps you continue  
after crashe. This checkpint file is saved every 1ns



Please tell me which files i need to set zero.

I am planning to run my simulation for 20ns but I want it to run every  
five nanoseconds until i see an aggregations in my system. So how can  
I re-start my simulation every 5ns.



Thank you for your help

[gmx-users] Selecting specific atoms to find average energy of

2010-06-11 Thread Jennifer Casey
Hello,

I ran an md simulation, and I have graphed the total average energy of the
system by using g_energy to convert my binary .edr file into a text based
file.  What I want to do is to find the average energy between the solvent
molecules, excluding the energy between the solute-solvent molecules and the
solute-solute molecules.  I was unable to find a way to have g_energy give
me the energy between a specific group.  Is it possible to do this?  Or do I
need to rerun the simulation, and include something like energy monitor
groups?  There is probably a simple command for this that I am missing (or
at least I hope there is).  I would prefer not to have to rerun all of my md
simulations.

Thanks in advance,
Jennifer

2010-06-11 Thread chris . neale

Dear Rob:

To answer your question: just set up your run with nsteps for 5 ns,  
run mdrun, and then use tpbconv -until. A simpler option is to set it  
up to run 20 ns, but use -maxh to limit it to an amount of runtime  
that you pre-calculate to be similar to 5 ns of simulation.


HOWEVER:

You almost surely don't need to save this so often: nstxout = 100  
(also nstvout, nstfout).


And you may not even need to save this so often: nstxtcout = 100 (also  
nstenergy).


I had no idea that there was an option nstcheckpoint = 100 as I use  
mdrun -cpt 6 to specify a .cpt file every 6 hours, but there is no  
need to write a .cpt every 100 steps.

Re: [gmx-users] GROMACS on CYGWIN

2010-06-11 Thread Vasilii Artyukhov
Also, use the 'nice' command to run gmx at high priority, and switch off CPU
frequency scaling. For me, cygwin performance is pretty much the same as
that on linux, which is to be expected since most of the code isn't
dependent on system calls. Apparently, the only difference you should be
able to see is in disk I/O, but you don't want to I/O too frequently anyway.

 Subject: [gmx-users] GROMACS on CYGWIN

  Dear all,
 
  I was wondering whether GROMACS on CYGWIN is less capable than GROMACS
 run on LINUX?
   i.e. concerning its speed and its ability to simulate larger
 macromolecules. I assume that it is faster, but is it very much different?

 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.

Re: [gmx-users] combine position restraints and NPT equlibration in membrane

 In God We Trust
 Hello Dear GMX users
 We would like to perform  MD simulation of a protein in attendance of
 biomembrane (POPE). On the basis of Kalp tutorial, can we combine position
 restraints and NPT  equlibration in one phase?. We attached NPT.mdp in this

In the tutorial, position restraints are applied during both NVT and NPT
equilibration, with the purpose of separately equilibrating temperature and
pressure.  You could try to do both in one NPT run, but in my experience, POPE
requires some finesse during equilibration, so two phases are probably best.

You will have to rerun your simulations using a new .tpr file with the desired
energygrps defined.  The good news is that you simply have to rerun the
trajectory using mdrun -rerun, which is substantially faster than recalculating
the whole thing from scratch.
