Hello all,
I have a protein bound to ions. is there a way to calculate the Kd of the
bound ion in Gromaces so I can compare it to experimental Kd?
Thanks,
Gideon

2010-11-30 Thread Ran Friedman
Hi Gideon,

If the binding is relatively weak and the force field parameters are good 
enough that should be feasible. See e.g., Biophys J. 2005 August; 89(2): 
768–781.
However, in other cases this is more challenging. This is discussed in details 
for simulations of a Zinc binding protein in Phys Chem Chem Phys. 2009 Feb 14; 
11(6): 975-83 

Good luck,
Ran

[gmx-users] Looking for Gromacs test users

2010-11-30 Thread Wibke Sudholt
Dear Gromacs users,

We are looking for test users for a web platform that allows to easily run
scientific applications on cloud computing infrastructures. The platform
gives instantaneous access to computer resources without the need to first
install any software. Gromacs is one of the applications that can be
accessed through the platform.

As part of our preview program, you can get free access to the platform, and
run Gromacs and other jobs for free (up to a certain maximum spending
amount). All we ask you for in return is to provide us some feedback about
your usage experience.

If you are interested in getting access to the platform or if you have any
questions, please contact us under i...@cloudbroker.com or directly apply
for the preview program under http://www.cloudbroker.com/preview.html.

Kind regards,

Wibke Sudholt

I have never used g_select, but it seems to me there could be several problems. 
 The group heavy1 is redundant - atoms that are in Protein and Protein-H 
will, by necessity, just be Protein-H.  Perhaps the parser is complaining 
about the inconsistency in the lines - sometimes you have a group name enclosed 
in quotes and sometimes you do not.


I doubt that heavy2 can be satisfied - how can an atom be in both DNA and 
Protein-H simultaneously?  I think what you might want there is an or 
instead of and.  You probably don't want a merged Protein-H/DNA group anyway, 
because then in your last line you are identifying any water O atom within 0.3 
nm of any Protein-H or DNA atom, not those that are specifically between the two.

Providing this kind of information up front would have been useful.  It's also a 
bad idea.  If Protein-H is actually all non-H protein and DNA atoms, you'll 
never achieve what you want.  Use Gromacs' default group of Protein-H for what 
you want to do.  Dealing with a single group of protein and DNA atoms (any 
subset) does not allow for the type of selection you need.


2) I want to obtain number of water molecule which are simultaneously 
closer than 3 A° from protein and DNA/ /and not protein or dna./

I understand your objective.  I stand by my previous comments.

[gmx-users] intra-chain peptide bond

2010-11-30 Thread Semin Lee
Dear Gromacs Users:

I was wondering if there is a way to introduce an intra-chain peptide bond
between side chains of LYS1 and GLU30 of Pin1 WW domain (PDB ID: 1I6C, Model
1). I'm trying to check if additional stability can be acquired from
cyclisation using MD simulation.

The distance between NZ of LYS1 and CD of GLU30 is 3.3A. How can I make them
to be close enough to form a peptide bond, and even if I manage to get them
close enough, how can I actually introduce a peptide bond? Should I add
modified residue information to somewhere?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Semin

You will need to:

1. Make custom residues in the .rtp file of the force field of interest (i.e., 
LYS with only one proton, GLU without the terminal O).

2. Modify specbond.dat to add the inter-residue bond.

You have to enclose the group name in quotes if it contains a symbol like '-' 
which, I think, is otherwise interpreted as subtraction.

[gmx-users] Temporary downtime for git.gromacs.org Wednesday

2010-11-30 Thread Erik Lindahl
Hi,

We'll be moving git.gromacs.org to a new server room in a different building 
tomorrow, so it might be unavailable for a short while tomorrow afternoon 
European time.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

When I tried to do mdrun, I got an error saying my system is  
exploding. I tried doing the mdrun without nonbonded parameters and it  
runs fine. So I am not sure if I am using the nonbond_params concept  
correctly. i.e. I want C6 to be zero between my solute (methanol) and  
solvent (water). This is the error:


Warning: 1-4 interaction between 2 and 6 at distance 3.786 which is  
larger than the 1-4 table size 2.500 nm

These are ignored for the rest of the simulation
This usually means your system is exploding,
if not, you should increase table-extension in your mdp file
or with user tables increase the table size

Suggestions?

Thanks.

Sounds about right to me.

You should use double quotes, but that does not appear to be the
source of your problems.

 but in both of states again:

 selection parser: syntax error
  heavy1 = group 'Protein-H''lection '

If this really is the literal output from the tool, it appears that
you have Windows-style line endings in the input selection file.
Removing those should help.  If I find the time at some point, I can
try to make them work as well.

Your implementation of your concept is technically correct, but perhaps 
physically unreasonable.  You're turning off the attractive LJ component and 
leaving only a repulsive component.  It sounds about right that everything is 
flying apart.

[gmx-users] Ions and charge groups

2010-11-30 Thread Guido Polles
Hi everybody,

Sorry about this, but I'm pretty new to gromacs and I couldn't find
any clue about my problem in the archives or in the manual.
I'm using gromacs 4.5.1, and my system is a rather big system (about
12x12x12) that includes a proteon, an atp molecule, water and some
ions.
I am using ffamber99sb force field. Now, I post the log for my mdrun.

  Initializing Domain Decomposition on 2 nodes
  Dynamic load balancing: auto
  Will sort the charge groups at every domain (re)decomposition
  Initial maximum inter charge-group distances:
 two-body bonded interactions: 14.813 nm, LJ-14, atoms 25682 25685
 multi-body bonded interactions: 14.813 nm, Angle, atoms 25685 25686
  Minimum cell size due to bonded interactions: 16.294 nm
  Using 0 separate PME nodes
  Scaling the initial minimum size with 1/0.8 (option -dds) = 1.25
  Optimizing the DD grid for 2 cells with a minimum initial size of 20.368 nm
  The maximum allowed number of cells is: X 0 Y 0 Z 0

---
Program mdrun, VERSION 4.5.1
Source code file: domdec.c, line: 6428

Fatal error:
There is no domain decomposition for 2 nodes that is compatible with
the given box and a minimum cell size of 20.368 nm
Change the number of nodes or mdrun option -rdd or -dds
Look in the log file for details on the domain decomposition
For more information and tips for troubleshooting, please check the GROMACS
website at http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Errors

Of course the main point here is this

  Initial maximum inter charge-group distances:
  two-body bonded interactions: 14.813 nm, LJ-14, atoms 25682 25685
  multi-body bonded interactions: 14.813 nm, Angle, atoms 25685 25686

but they're CL ions! Why should they have any bonded interaction or
angle interaction??
Actually, I made some tests, and:

1- if I solvate the protein+atp+ions  (I want the ions to be in
specific positions) system I get that 14nm bond error when I run
mdrun, but grompp let it go.
2- in this situation, if I move in the gro file the coords for the
ions after the water, same happens but now grompp throws a warning
about charge group distance.
3- if I solvate then use genion to include the ions at least the
simulation starts. Then I get this error A charge group moved too far
between two domain decomposition steps, but that is probably related
to my system

I really don't get what's going on here.
Thank you in advance for any feedback.

They shouldn't.  Check your [bonds] and [angles] directives for these atom 
numbers.  Apparently mdrun is finding bonds to these ions in your topology. 
Were these ions added with genion?  Present in the initial structure processed 
by pdb2gmx?  Manually added in some location?



Actually, I made some tests, and:

1- if I solvate the protein+atp+ions  (I want the ions to be in
specific positions) system I get that 14nm bond error when I run
mdrun, but grompp let it go.


OK, so you want ions in specific positions.  Did you put them there?  If so, was 
it before or after you generated the topology (presumably with pdb2gmx)?



2- in this situation, if I move in the gro file the coords for the
ions after the water, same happens but now grompp throws a warning
about charge group distance.


That's probably related to the contents of your .mdp file, which you haven't 
posted.  It may or may not be related to the problem at hand.



3- if I solvate then use genion to include the ions at least the
simulation starts. Then I get this error A charge group moved too far
between two domain decomposition steps, but that is probably related
to my system



That error message indicates your system has become unstable, likely due to 
insufficient energy minimization or equilibration, or incorrect .mdp settings.

Also relevant here, but I forgot to ask: are you using distance restraints to 
keep these ions in place?  If so, that's your problem.  If the restraints can't 
be placed in the same DD cell, you have to use particle decomposition (mdrun 
-pd), which is somewhat slower.

[gmx-users] A warning concerning file ffnonbonded.itp overriding atomtype OT

I had only one warning which says (file ffnonbonded.itp, line 68): overriding 
atomtype OT
 
In the .gro and .top files produced by pdb2gmx, the only atoms that are 
described as OT are the two oxygen atoms of the C-terminal carboxylic acid 
group (neutral in my system), they are assigned as OT1 and OT2...No other 
oxygen atom is described as OT
 
First questions: How harmful this warning could be to the integrity of my 
simulation? I would assume it shouldn't be that harmful because my system has a 
fairly big, well folded protein (331 residues) and the C-terminus is far far 
away from the area I am interested in, besides the overriding itself imply a 
corrective action by gromacs!!!
 
Second issue: while I am searching the web for the above issue, I camE across 
this website:
http://towhee.sourceforge.net/forcefields/charmm27.html 
http://towhee.sourceforge.net/forcefields/charmm27.html 
If you go all the way down to the section of Oxygen atom descriptions, you will 
find that OT has the description of ( Water oxygen, modified TIP3P model). 
Well, this is weird because the carboxylate oxygens in the C-terminal COOH 
group were assigned as OT1 and OT2 whereas thay should have been assigned as 
OC1 and OC2 (OC is Carboxylate oxygen non-lipid version as mentioned in the 
same website)...
 
I changed the OT1 and OT2 designations in the .top and .gro files to OC1 and 
OC2 and repeat the simulation, I unexpectedly still get the above warning 
message... now it is really confusing and that's why I decided to seek help 
from the gromacs mailist
 
Any help, feedback, clarification is very much appreciated

Atom types (in the force field files and topology) and atom names (in the 
coordinate file) are different.  Your error has nothing to do with your 
C-terminal carboxylate.  Apparently, you're trying to use a heavy water model, 
since line 68 of ffnonbonded is:


66 OT  8   15.999400   -0.834  A   0.315057422683  0.6363864
67 #ifdef HEAVY_H
68 OT  8   9.951400-0.834  A   0.315057422683  0.6363864 ; CHARMM TIP3p O
69 #endif

The normal OT type is on line 66, but is being overridden by a define statement.

[gmx-users] Large Periodic Molecule

2010-11-30 Thread Rogan Carr

Hi all,

I am having a problem, where my simulation fails when I run on  
multiple nodes.  On an 8-core machine, my job runs fine, but when I  
run on 240 processors (20 12-core nodes), I get the errors


U-B of 59312 missing 1

followed by

Software inconsistency error:
Some interactions seem to be assigned multiple times

I can use the .tpr file from the supercomputer (the 240 core job) and  
it runs fine on my 8-core machine as well.


I believe the problem is that I am simulating a system containing an  
infinite slab of amorphous silica, which is one large molecule,  
bonded to itself across the periodic boundaries.  I am using the  
charmm-compatible parameters developed by Cruz-Chu, Aksimentiev and  
Schulten (http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/silica/SiO2ff.html), so I  
have each atom as its own charge group, and each atom is harmonically  
restrained to its initial coordinates (I also added in angle terms  
with small force constants so that I could use the GBSA solver, which  
requires all bonded triplets to have an angle defined).


From my discussions with others, I have heard that it is common to  
have such problems with infinite molecules, where not all  
information about bonded interactions are shared between nodes.  One  
solution might be to use the old particle decomposition  
parallelization, but I would like to use domain decomposition for its  
speed.


Has anyone had any experience with this?

Thanks,
Rogan

[gmx-users] Trouble with Gromacs finding the files it needs

2010-11-30 Thread J. Nathan Scott
Hello Gromacs users,

I am having some difficulties with Gromacs finding the files it needs
(at least that is what I *think* is the problem) and am hoping that
someone can offer some insight. Using another user's home directory
installation of Gromacs (v 4.0.7) I was able to work my way through
Justin Lemkul's very nice lysozyme tutorial. However, now that I am
working from my own home directory installation of Gromacs (v 4.5.3) I
keep running into problems involving the addition of chloride ions in
that same tutorial (as well as in other applications). The error I'm
receiving using the newer version and installation of Gromacs occurs
when I am using grommp to prepare a file containing protein, solvent,
and ions for energy minimization:
---
Program grompp, VERSION 4.5.3
Source code file: toppush.c, line: 1987

Fatal error:
No such moleculetype CL-
For more information and tips for troubleshooting, please check the GROMACS
website at http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Errors
---

This is very confusing since all I am doing is using a newer
installation of Gromacs and following the exact same commands from the
tutorial. Naturally I started checking and comparing topology files
from the 2 runs to see if I could figure out what was going on. I
noticed a few differences but am unsure what to make of them.

The older version of Gromacs, for instance, has the user and host
names correct at the top of the topology file, whereas my freshly
installed version has both user and host as onbekend, so it seems
that user and host information is not being communicated in my new
copy of Gromacs. Also, the topology file generated by the older
version has includes of the form of #include ffoplsaa.itp, #include
posre.itp, #include spce.itp, and #include ions.itp whereas the
newer version has includes of the form #include
oplsaa.ff/forcefield.itp, #include posre.itp, #include
oplsaa.ff/spce.itp, and #include oplsaa.ff/ions.itp.

I know of course that CL- is the correct form of the chloride ion in
OPLSAA (I checked oplsaa.ff/ions.itp to be certain), so I am quite
baffled as to why this error is occurring. Is this indeed some sort of
path problem, perhaps? I have noted that when I use CL instead of
CL- in genion grommp has no trouble, but I believe it *should*
because I have selected the OPLSAA forcefield. I have also noted that
when I replace oplsaa.ff/ions.itp in my topology file with just
ions.itp grommp runs fine, but this worries because I don't know why
it works.

In case it makes any difference, I installed Gromacs using the
following procedure to yield MPI single and double precision versions
of mdrun and single and double precision non-MPI versions of the
tools:

./configure --enable-mpi --disable-float --prefix=/home/scott/gromacs
--program-suffix=_mpi_d
make mdrun  make install-mdrun
make distclean

./configure --enable-mpi --enable-float --prefix=/home/scott/gromacs
--program-suffix=_mpi
make mdrun  make install-mdrun
make distclean

./configure --disable-float --prefix=/home/scott/gromacs --program-suffix=_d
make  make install
make distclean

./configure --enable-float --prefix=/home/scott/gromacs
make  make install

Thank you very much for any help you can provide, this problem really
has me scratching my head!

The directory structure has changed as of version 4.5, and ion names have been 
standardized across the force fields.  The proper [moleculetype] of the chloride 
ion (in oplsaa.ff/ions.itp) is indeed CL while the *residue name* is CL- and 
the atom name (which is what you pass to genion) is CL.


So, if you have added a line like

CL-   8

in the [molecules] directive of your topology (like in my tutorial), then you 
get the fatal error.  The [moleculetype] name is what you enter here, not the 
residue name.


I haven't updated my tutorial for version 4.5.x, but perhaps I should.  If you 
follow what I say exactly, you will have problems in the newer version.

Cutoff radii are often considered part of the force field and should not be 
changed ad hoc.  Coulombic cutoffs are less sensitive to such effects when using 
PME, but for rvdw, the effects can be dramatic, depending on the system.  For 
instance, lipid bilayer properties can be significantly influenced by altering 
the value of rvdw.  Refer to the primary literature of your force field for an 
appropriate setting, and do not deviate from it unless you can prove there is no 
deleterious effects (or someone else has already published such information).

When I tried to do mdrun, I got an error saying my system is 
exploding. I tried doing the mdrun without nonbonded parameters and 
it runs fine. So I am not sure if I am using the nonbond_params 
concept correctly. i.e. I want C6 to be zero between my solute 
(methanol) and solvent (water). This is the error:


Warning: 1-4 interaction between 2 and 6 at distance 3.786 which is 
larger than the 1-4 table size 2.500 nm

These are ignored for the rest of the simulation
This usually means your system is exploding,
if not, you should increase table-extension in your mdp file
or with user tables increase the table size

Suggestions?



Your implementation of your concept is technically correct, but 
perhaps physically unreasonable.  You're turning off the attractive LJ 
component and leaving only a repulsive component.  It sounds about 
right that everything is flying apart.


Indeed. The way to do this is with mdrun -rerun on a trajectory 
generated with the normal version of the forcefield, as I think I said 
in another thread yesterday.

Okay I am going to give it a try. I just wanted to make sure I was
calculating C6 and C12 correctly as well using sigma and epsilon
according to rule 3

C12 = Sigma^(6)*C6
C6 = 4*sigma^(6)*epsilon

Thanks

Hello,

 I have a concern regarding C6 attractive term in LJ potential. I  
 am using OPLS-AA force field, and I wish to turn off attractive   
term C6 by setting the parameters to zero. One of the suggestion   
was to add a [nonbond_params] in my ffoplsaanb.itp file and set  
the  C6 to zero between the non-bonded pair. In my system for  
example,  which consists of one methanol in water, I wish to set  
C6 term to  zero between my solute and solvent. Since OPLSAA is  
all atom force  field it treats each atom individually and has  
sigma and epsilon  for each atom, so I am not sure how I would  
actually set my  nonbond_params in my nb.itp file. I realize I  
need to convert each  sigma and epsilon to C6 and C12, so say for  
example for methanol in  water my [nonbond_params] would look  
something like this?


[ nonbond_params ]
; ij func  c6   c12
CTOW  1   0.00  calculated value for C12 here?
CTHW1  1  0.00
CTHW2  1  0.00

CT is the carbon in Methanol. OW, HW1 an HW2 correspond to atoms  
in  TIP3P water model


Is that correct? Would I have to do that for each atom in methanol?



Sounds about right to me.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Re: [gmx-users] Ions and charge groups

2010-11-30 Thread Guido Polles
Hi, thanks for the very fast reply.

I used pdb2gmx just to build the protein. Then i wrote my own topology
including the itp file for the protein and for the atp molecule. I
added the ions then.
From a pdb file I solvated proteon(6 proteins)+atp+ions and added the
water to the top file, that came to look something like

[ system ]
; Name
system in water

[ molecules ]
; Compound #mols
protein6
atp 1
CL 48
K  16
SOL 53231

This way, I get that weird behavior about bonds for CL atoms.
Doing a couple of further tests I actually solved the problem
inverting water and ions both in coordinates and topology, i.e.
[ molecules ]
; Compound #mols
protein6
atp 1
SOL 53231
CL 48
K  16

Everything now is fine, I successfully minimized and running a short
simulation doesn't complain about anything.
I think is a pretty strange behavior and I don't understand why I'm
forced to put ions after water.
Looks like a little bug to me, but I'm not expert enough to be sure.

Anyway, thank you a lot for your help.

   multi-body bonded interactions: 14.813 nm, Angle, atoms 25685 25686

 but they're CL ions! Why should they have any bonded interaction or
 angle interaction??

They shouldn't.  Check your [bonds] and [angles] directives for these atom
numbers.  Apparently mdrun is finding bonds to these ions in your topology.
Were these ions added with genion?  Present in the initial structure processed
by pdb2gmx?  Manually added in some location?

 Actually, I made some tests, and:

 1- if I solvate the protein+atp+ions  (I want the ions to be in
 specific positions) system I get that 14nm bond error when I run
 mdrun, but grompp let it go.

OK, so you want ions in specific positions.  Did you put them there?  If so, was
it before or after you generated the topology (presumably with pdb2gmx)?

 2- in this situation, if I move in the gro file the coords for the
 ions after the water, same happens but now grompp throws a warning
 about charge group distance.

That's probably related to the contents of your .mdp file, which you haven't
posted.  It may or may not be related to the problem at hand.

 3- if I solvate then use genion to include the ions at least the
 simulation starts. Then I get this error A charge group moved too far
 between two domain decomposition steps, but that is probably related
 to my system


That error message indicates your system has become unstable, likely due to
insufficient energy minimization or equilibration, or incorrect .mdp settings.

Did you get any warnings from grompp that the names in the coordinate file and 
topology did not match?  My guess is yes.  The [molecules] directive must match 
the order of the coordinate file, otherwise the wrong parameters are applied to 
the wrong species.  If this is the case, the bonds involving CL were a result of 
SOL (water) bonded parameters being applied to CL atoms.

 You can't, neither for TPS nor for FFS. I don't think Gromacs provides this
 functionality. You will have to write your own code that reads positions and
 velocities from a trajectory file, modifies the velocities, and writes
 positions and velocities to a file that Gromacs can use as an initial
 configuration.

 Alternatively, you can use a stochastic integrator (like Brownian dynamics)
 and set ld_seed to -1. This way, even identical initial configurations will
 result in different trajectories.

I will be very appreciate for your help.

Look at the contents for the other force fields. There's probably 
something you don't have, like forcefield.doc

No, it isn't. There's at least one bad water molecule, like the output said.



and why the Number of grid cells is zero??



Because the system imploded.

[gmx-users] Reg:Uncertainty in the average value

2010-11-30 Thread vinothkumar mohanakrishnan
Hi all

I calculated the surface tension of dce (dichloroethane) using the g_energy
command and found the average surface tension value to be 30.68 mN/m. what i
want to know is how to find the standard error or the uncertainty of the
average value in gromacs? i know one should always report the value as 30.68
plus(r)minus ? mN/m. any help is highly appreciated.

Regards
Vinoth
