Re: [gmx-users] Which .tpr file to use for g_rms?

Thanks a lot for the reply.
But I am getting different results with the two .tpr files (first and 
last) using the following commands:


trjconv -s *first.tpr *-f test.xtc -o str.gro -dump 1 -pbc nojump
trjconv -s *last.tpr* -f test.xtc -o str.gro -dump 1 -pbc nojump


Did you read trjconv -h about -pbc nojump? Notice how when you didn't 
give your command lines last time, you didn't get a very useful answer.



So which .tpr file should I use?


You're trying to measure a membrane thickness. So you want all the 
membrane residues in the same box, and don't care about anything else. 
There's various ways to use -pbc and -center to achieve this, depending 
on what the simulation has done.

Actually I am running a protein in lipid bilayer. Now I want to
calculate the thickness of the bilayer at the end of the
simulation.
So for that I want the last structure (.gro) file. So I am
trying to
dump the last structure using trjconv (with -pbc option). So to do
this which .tpr file should I supply to trjconv, the first one
or the
last one?


Since you're not using the coordinates in the .tpr file to extract
the last frame and map its coordinates onto the .tpr's atom names,
it can't matter what they are.

Thanks again.

Thanks a lot Justin for the reply. Yes, I understand
that. But ideally
which structure should be used as the reference, in a

starting structure or the end structure?

That's up to you to decide based on what you need to
measure.  Do you want
the
RMSD relative to your starting (i.e. crystal/NMR)
structure, or are you
trying
to study how a protein folds, in which case you'd use the
native (end)
state?

like when I an using trjconv to dump my last frame
(with -pbc nojump),
which .tpr file should I use to get the exact picture
of what has
happened to my protein at the end of the simulation.
Should I use the
first .tpr file or the last .tpr file?

I don't understand what you mean.  What has happened is
an entire
trajectory,
not a snapshot.

Hi ALL,

Its a very basic question but still...
When we calculate RMSD (or any other
parameter) using the g_rms
command, we need to supply the .tpr file with
-s option. Now
suppose if I have a total 20 ns simulation
with 4 breaks (i.e 5
ns in each run), then there will be 4 .tpr
files. So at the end
of 20 ns if I wish to calculate RMSD, then
which .tpr file
should I suppy to g_rms, the first one or the
last one? We I run
g_rms with the two .tpr files, I get different
results. So which
one should be used? Any suggestion is welcome.


Use the one that contains the structure you wish
to serve as your
reference.

[gmx-users] two graphene sheets are blowing up

2010-12-04 Thread zhongjin
Hi ALL,
I am using GMX4.5.3. I have done a system, which  include two graphenes and 
a CNT. I put two graphenes at both end of the CNT,and dig a hole to let water 
pass through CNT. I do not change any force fileld . I just treat all the 
carbon atoms as atoms in Benzene ring CA in AMBER03 force filed. But I find a 
problem, I must freeze all the carbon atoms in the graphenes, and then do the 
NVT equilibrium, so I can not do NPT equilibrium. If I use positon restraint 
instead of freezing the graphenes, the two graphenes will be blowing up., and a 
series of warnings about  LINCS , and the simulation stop.  I want to use 
positon restraint and do NPT equilibrium and MD. Anybody could help me, thanks 
a lot !

I don't understand what dig a hole means but it sounds like you're

[gmx-users] Ramachandran plot for non standar residues

2010-12-04 Thread Rebeca García Fandiño

Hello,
I am trying to calculate the Ramachandran plot for a molecules based on 
non-standar aminoacids, parametrized with the Gaff force field and simulated 
with Gromacs 4.0.7.  
When I try using g_rama -f trajectory.xtc -s topology.tpr -o rama.xvy 
I get: Found 0 phi-psi combinations.

I suppose the problem is the nomenclature of my atoms, since I don´t have any 
CA named atoms.

Is there any way to calculate g_rama for non-standar residues defining the 
atoms I need?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Best whishes,

I think you can just change the atom names in your topology, generate a new .tpr 
file, and run g_rama again.  I don't believe atom names are stored in the 
trajectory.

2010-12-04 Thread Solomon Berman
Hello friends,

I'm writing today to see if anyone could offer further insight/commentary than 
the current available documentation and comments from the program itself 
concerning the following problem.

I am currently using mdrun-gpu, v 4.5.3, utilizing my GPU, an NVIDIA GeForce GT 
330M.  When I run the program, my desktop freezes, though I am able to move my 
cursor about.  I can hear the fan growing louder and the computer heating up, 
as it always does when I use the CPU mdrun.  

Browsing the available documentation, I recognize that my particular GPU is not 
listed as one of the tested.  However, from reading further, and from the error 
codes generated by mdrun-gpu, I am suspect that it is possible to use a GPU not 
listed in the manual, so long as the other requirements (such as the use of the 
OpenMM library) are met.

Could anyone who is using the GPU version perhaps offer some insight into what 
is occurring and any potential fixes that may be successful?  I would be most 
appreciative?  Also, if I haven't provided enough information, I'm more than 
happy to answer any questions quickly and succinctly to do so!

Many thanks for any help anyone can provide!

Best,

[gmx-users] [OT] Generate random coil protein conformations?

2010-12-04 Thread ms

Hi,

Sorry for the offtopic but my google-fu is apparently abandoning me. I 
am looking for a fast way to generate random coil protein configurations 
to use as startpoints for several simulations I'd like to do.


All I managed to find is:
- FOLDTRAJ which seems unavailable and discontinued
- the server at unfolded.uchicago.edu, which actual working part ( 
http://z-appserver.cti.depaul.edu/~unfolded/start.html ) seems 
unavailable as well.


Anyone has working suggestions for that? I am quite sure there must be 
such a package, yet I can't find it... dumb me probably.


cheers,
M.

I dunno if it will help, but Googling with self-avoiding Gaussian walk might 
help - since that's what a random coil is.

Thanks, nice tip -even if I doubt that a real RC is truly Gaussian in 
angle distribution, it is good enough for what I want to do -I can 
script Pymol about that.

[gmx-users] dna, lipid simulation

2010-12-04 Thread Amit Choubey
Hi all,

This is a question unrelated to gromacs but would pose it anyway to get some
hints from the experts.
I wish to set up DNA and DPPC lipid membrane simulation. Could someone
please refer to a relevant forcefield/tutorial for simulation of lipids with
DNA?

Any help will be really appreciated.

Thank you
amit
