[gmx-users] local pressure calcuation for Gromacs-4.5

[Jianguo Li]

Hi All,

I found there is a customised version "gromacs-4.0.2_localpressure" for 
calculating the local pressure from the Gromacs website. I am wondering is 
there 
a higher version? The reason is that I am using CHARMM  FF and have done 
membrane simulations using Gromacs-4.5.  If I understand correctly, I need to 
rerun the simulation using the customized version of Gromacs to calculate the 
local pressure. However, I cannot use the -rerun option of 
"gromacs-4.0.2_localpressure" as my trajectory is from a higher version. 


Or is there any other tools that can calculate the local pressure of the 
membrane?

Thanks very much!

best regards,
Jianguo

[gmx-users] Re: QMMM with ORCA

[Xiaohu Li]

Dear Gerrit,
Thanks for your comments. Strange enough, once I set up the
neighbour search from simple to grid, even the electronic embedding went
through. But I'm not sure if the calculation is right.
Generally, what happens if one is running a calculation without PBC
but the calculation actually goes through. Is there anything dramatic
happening?
Thank you again.

Dear Xiaohu,

Thanks for bringing this up. The comment has been there for ever. Since I could 
not think of an application where one would not be using pbc at the time. 
However, your clusters prove me wrong.

In any case, as a work-around, you may want to use a bigger box, with long 
enough cut-offs, no PME.

Hope this gets you started,

Gerrit

Thanks a lot of the great info.
I'd found the environment variable is GMX_NB_GENERIC.
By setting this, my modification code was activated and the LJ potential
outputs were turned from negative to positive values (since the LJ was
truncated till its repulsive part).

For this, I still could not figured out.
The variable eNBF_NR limits the case number in the routin topio.c, but
I could not find how the variable was defined.
I'll try more.

Thanks a lot again.

[gmx-users] Simulation time losses with REMD

[Mark Abraham]

Hi,

I compared the .log file time accounting for same .tpr file run alone in 
serial or as part of an REMD simulation (with each replica on a single 
proessor). It ran about 5-10% slower in the latter. The effect was a bit 
larger when comparing the same .tpr on 8 processors with REMD with 8 
processers per replica. The effect seems fairly independent of whether I 
compare the lowest or highest replica.


The system is 1ns of Ace-(Ala)_10-NME in CHARMM27 with GROMACS 4.5.3 
using NVT, PME, virtual sites, 4fs timesteps, rlist=rvdw=rcoulomb=1.0nm 
with REMD ranging over 20 replicas distributed exponentially from 298K 
to 431.57K using v-rescale T-coupling. The machine has two quad-core 
processors per node with Inifiniband connection. The Infiniband switch 
is shared with other users' calculations, so some load-based variability 
can and does occur, but this should have shown up in a named part of the 
time accounting.


My first thought was that REMD exchange latency was to blame, so I 
quickly hacked in a change to report the length of time spent in the 
REMD initialization routine, and then each call to the REMD 
exchange-attempt routine.


Comparing the performance between REMD and serial of the lowest replica 
on a single processor, I saw with diff:

So "Rest" goes up from 122 s to 409 s under REMD, even after factoring 
out the 59 s actually spent in REMD. With the highest replica:

Here 102 s becomes 417 s despite factoring out 60 s for REMD. So the 
time spent doing the exchange is just noticeable, but quite a bit less 
than the observed increase in total time.

I am trying to prepare a solvation box of chaps. After generating .itp

molecules get accumulated in two three small region within the box and
all chaps molecules gets accumulated in another small regions.I wanted

Reply to query.

I created a box of 6x6x6 inserting 7 molecule of chaps with (genbox

-maxsol 500 and spc216.gro. On visualization, at this stage itself
uniform solvation did not occur (I got water in one region and chaps
molecule in other region) but I observed a similar situation while

If your box was not completely solvated, then don't use -maxsol.  A box of
6x6x6 nm should require more than 500 molecules of water to fill.  If you're
trying to achieve some specific mole fraction or concentration, then
re-figure your box size.

preparing 10M urea salvation box. This was followed by 1ns simulated
annealing from temp 300K to 0K and pressure 100 bar, then 1ns
simulated annealing from temp. 0k to 300k and then ins equilibriation
at this temperature. In case of urea finally I got uniformly solvated
urea_water_box but in chaps I couldn’t get it.

Find the part of the code that triggers that error message, examine what

look where else that data structure is used and adapt as necessary.

You'd only have learned to do this if you'd used a debugger to step 
through the flow of the code. I highly recommend that procedure. 
init_forcerec() checks an environment variable and triggers the use of 
generic kernels accordingly. Various other environment variables have 
various other effects there and deeper in the code.

Re: [gmx-users] solvation_box_preparation

[shahid nayeem]

Thanks Justin
I tried with new box size of 2.8x2.8x2.8 . During energy minimization
with steepest descent to force of 2000 and constraint=none, the system
converged in 754 steps with positive potential energy. In subsequent
simulated annealing with constraint all bonds it starts giving link
warning in 0 step with rms 7407.805164, max 66989.116545 (between atom
94 and 117) and a list of bond thar rotated more than 30 degree almost
atom number belonging to chaps molecule.
Please help.

Thanks a lot for your comments.
I did not care these at all.
Which part of the manual contain the info?
(I'd tried a search in the GROMACS web page, but I could not find that.)
How can I do the recognision and set the environment variable?

[gmx-users] g_mindist clarification

[Chandan Choudhury]

Hi all !!

Can some one clarify me what the g_mindist does. As far as I understood, it
takes two inputs from the index file. If I have more than one entry in both
of the indexes than how would g_mindist function?
eg; echo "7 8" |  g_mindist  -s ../md30-60.tpr -n index.ndx -f
../30-60.part0004.trr  -od mindist.xvg -nice 0 -b 35000 -e 4 -xvgr

With one entry in the g_mindist (-od) and g_dist produces the same graph.

[gmx-users] nstcomm set to 10

[NG HUI WEN]

Dear gmxusers,

 

I have a question here concerning nstcomm.

 

I got the note below after doing grompp, I'd like to do something about
it.

NOTE 1 [file HW_NPT.mdp]:

  nstcomm < nstcalcenergy defeats the purpose of nstcalcenergy, setting

  nstcomm to nstcalcenergy

 

Currently, my nstcomm is set at 1 while nstlist at 10 (default
nstcalcenergy, nsttcouple, nstpcouple = -1). I would like to know, if I
set nstcomm to 10, therefore removing the center of mass motion every 10
steps instead of every step, will it adversely affect my simulation
(because the center of mass is allowed to move in between the 10-step
interval)?

 

I notice the default value for nstcomm is actually 10, so I gather
setting it to 10 should be OK?  Thank you.

 

HW

There is no error here.  The -v flag causes this information to be printed, and

I agree. Remember - garbage in, garbage out. Even if you get a number
out it doesn't mean that it's the right one...

[gmx-users] Slow Runs

[Chris Neale]

In addition, you're only updating your neighbourlist every 40 ps. If 
you're going to use a 4 fs timestep, I suggest that you use nstlist=5. 
Also, you appear to not be using any constraints while you are using a 4 
fs timestep.


I suggest that you stop worrying about why the run is slower and do some 
tutorials and read the manual and ensure that you understand the 
consequences of your .mdp options.

This fourierspacing is 5-6 times larger than what is normally accepted as
sufficiently accurate.  A sparse grid will make the PME algorithm faster,
actually, but at the expense of accuracy.

Can you post the domain decomposition statistics from the .log file?  They
appear just above the energies from time 0.  What did grompp tell you about the
relative PME:PP load?

Re: [gmx-users] truncated LJ potential

Dear Berk and all:

I'd tried to rewrite the routine


src/gmxlib/nonbonded/nb_generic.c

to modify the LJ potential to the shifted and truncated one.

First, I'd add the new switch(ivdw) as case 4, but when I'd tried;
[ defaults ]
; nbfunc comb-rule   gen-pairs   fudgeLJ  fudgeQQ
   4  1 no1.0   1.0,
I'd got,
ERROR 1 [file topol.top, line 8]:
   Invalid nonbond function selector '4' using LJ.


So you have to update the machinery that parses the .top to recognise 
that the value of 4 is now legal.



Then, I'd rewrite the standard switch(ivdw) case 1 as follows
(with real tc12c5 and int factor).

#ifdef TRUNCATED_LJ
tc12c6 = 2.0*c12/c6;
factor = ceil(floor(tc12c6*rinvsix)/(tc12c6*rinvsix));
fscal += factor*(12.0*Vvdw_rep-6.0*Vvdw_disp)*rinvsq;
Vvdwtot = Vvdwtot+factor*(Vvdw_rep-Vvdw_disp+0.5*c6/tc12c6);
#else
fscal += (12.0*Vvdw_rep-6.0*Vvdw_disp)*rinvsq;
Vvdwtot = Vvdwtot+Vvdw_rep-Vvdw_disp;
#endif

However with this modification (recompile with #define TRUNCATED_LJ),
the simulation result was exactly the same.

I'd appreciate to tell me what kind of mistake I'd done?


Did you set the environment variable to actually call the generic 
nonbonded lists?


Mark


Makoto Yoneya, Dr.
AIST
http://staff.aist.go.jp/makoto-yoneya/


Yes.

The pow function is expensive though. The code will run much faster
if you can use rinvsix, such as check for  2*rinvsix>  c6/c12.
(I forgot the factor 2 in my previous mail).

Subject: [gmx-users] truncated LJ potential

Dear Berk:

Thanks again for the further reply.


The LJ potential and force code in the above looks like in the c6-c12

form

not in epsilon-sigma one.
The LJ potential modification I'd like to try is based on the epsilon-
sigma form and the mixing rule is the Lorents-Bertelot's one.
Could you kindly tell me the LJ potential and force routine in the

epsilon-

Sigma form.

There is no such code.

You can simply check for rinvsix>  c6/c12

Is it means that the LJ potential in epsion-sigma form (with the
Lorents-Bertelot
mixing rule) is evaluated after the coversion into c6-c12 form in GROMACS?
Then, may I evaluate the modified LJ potential:


V(r)
= 4*epsilon*{ (sigma/r)^(12) - (sigma/r)^6 + (1/4) } for r<=
2^(1/6)*sigma
= 0 for r>   2^(1/6)*sigma

with translated into the equivalent c6-c12 form:

V(r)
= (c12/r)^(12) - (c6/r)^6 + (c6/2)*(c6/2*c12) for r<= (2*c12/c6)^(1/6)
= 0 for r>  (2*c12/c6)^(1/6)

in the following routines.

You can also set the environment variable nb_generic.c and modify
src/gmxlib/nonbonded/nb_generic.c, but might lead to somewhat
slower simulations.

If my understanding in the above would correct, I'll try that.

Re: [gmx-users] Center of mass motion removal for partial filled PBC box

Dear GMXers,

I would like to reproduce the water droplet contact angle on graphite 
surface, as in Werder, T.; Walther, J. H.; Halicioglu, T.; 
Koumoutsakos, P. /J. Phys. Chem. B/ *2003*, /107/, 1345-1352.


The box size is 20nm by 20nm by 30nm. Graphite is represented by a 
two-layer carbon sheet. After equilibration, the water droplet is 
around 3.5nm in radius. A large part of the box is vacuum. Periodic 
boundary condition (PBC) is applied. Graphite is fixed throughout the 
simulation.


I'm not sure what PBC is gaining for you. I think you want vacuum 
boundary conditions, which may as well be non-periodic.




From the manual, the "comm_mode=Linear" option should be applied, 
which means the translational motion of the center of mass of the 
water droplet should be removed. My first question is: If the time 
step is 2fs, what's the recommended value for nstcomm? (nstlist is 
updated very 3 time step)


10 is probably fine.



Also in the manual and this mail list, it's mentioned that for 
non-PBC, isolated system, "comm_mode=Angular" should be applied. Does 
this also applied to my partial filled PBC box?


No, this is referring to simulations like a protein in vacuum.

Mark


Do let me know if the question is not clear.

Thank you.

Best,
Yanbin

[gmx-users] QMMM with ORCA

[Xiaohu Li]

Dear GMX code writters,
 Could anyone tell me why this comments in the code *mdlib/qmmm.c
appear*?(version 4.5.3)
at *line ~ 714*, in the beginning of subroutine* update_QMMMrec*
==
*/* updates the coordinates of both QM atoms and MM atoms and stores
   * them in the QMMMrec.
   *
   * NOTE: is NOT yet working if there are no PBC. Also in ns.c, simple
   * ns needs to be fixed!
*/*
==
First of all, I have a non-PBC job with electronic embedding and it
fails right in this routine. So I guess this is the reason, for non-PBC, it
crashes. But for oniom, it went through. Is there any simple fix to have the
non-PBC qmmm work? I'm also interested in doing non-PBC calculation(large
cluster).

Re: [gmx-users] remove all waters from the pdb file

[Tsjerk Wassenaar]

Hey,

Well, for those things it also doesn't hurt to know a few standard linux tools:

grep -v "SOL" xxx.pdb > nosol.pdb

And if there are also ions in play:

grep -v "\(SOL\|NA\|CL\)" xxx.pdb > nosol.pdb

Hope it helps,

This is a normal consequence of diffusion in a periodic system.  There is no 
such thing as a "center."  For visualization purposes, just post-process your

If you're trying to get around the diffusion issue, don't.  If this is part of 
equilibration, all you're doing is setting up a higher energy barrier for the 
movement of these atoms.  The difference between 1000 and 2000 should be 
relatively minimal, as far as the end result is concerned.

[gmx-users] Center of mass motion removal for partial filled PBC box

[WU Yanbin]

Dear GMXers,

I would like to reproduce the water droplet contact angle on graphite
surface, as in Werder, T.; Walther, J. H.; Halicioglu, T.; Koumoutsakos, P.
*J. Phys. Chem. B* *2003*, *107*, 1345-1352.

The box size is 20nm by 20nm by 30nm. Graphite is represented by a two-layer
carbon sheet. After equilibration, the water droplet is around 3.5nm in
radius. A large part of the box is vacuum. Periodic boundary condition (PBC)
is applied. Graphite is fixed throughout the simulation.

>From the manual, the "comm_mode=Linear" option should be applied, which
means the translational motion of the center of mass of the water droplet
should be removed. My first question is: If the time step is 2fs, what's the
recommended value for nstcomm? (nstlist is updated very 3 time step)

Also in the manual and this mail list, it's mentioned that for non-PBC,
isolated system, "comm_mode=Angular" should be applied. Does this also
applied to my partial filled PBC box?

Do let me know if the question is not clear.

Thank you.

Best,
Yanbin

This is unfortunately not possible with the current version of
g_select, as the number of available keywords is quite limited.  If
you want to do some programming, it should be relatively
straightforward (although the learning curve for the selection engine
can be quite steep) to add new keywords.  There is some documentation
in the headers selmethod.h and selparam.h, and you should be able to
implement, e.g., a selection keyword like "zwithin 0.5 of com of name
..." by looking at the existing implementations in sm_distance.c
(contains, e.g., 'within' and 'dist') and sm_simple.c (contains, e.g.,
'z').

Best regards,
Teemu

[gmx-users] protein movement in lipid bilayer during simulation

[ram bio]

Dear Gromacs Users,

I am performing an all-atom simulation of protein ligand complex in
lipid bilayer , but after around 100ns, I see that the protein started
moving in one dimension in the lipid bilayer that is it is not in the
centre, I want the position of the protein fixed through out the
simulation, so pl suggest regarding this..

and is it ok if I increase the position restraints for the protein by
changing the values of forces on x y and z dimensions in the posre.itp
file (below) of the protein, and if so how much can i increase the
force, so that i doesnot effect the simulation.

Re: [gmx-users] QMMM with ORCA

[Christoph Riplinger]

Hi Xiaohu,

We are using gromacs/ORCA quite a lot. It works like any of the other 
interfaced programs and whether you should use it depends on your needs 
to the QM part of the QM/MM calculation.


I am using gromacs 4.0.7, but I downloaded the 4.5.3 version to test it.

I could not reproduce your problem with ONIOM. For the electrostatic 
embedding bug, I agree. This didn't work in my test calculation, but my 
gdb told me that the abort occured before the qm_orca.c was even called. 
I suspect the bug is in the general qmmm.c code. I do not have access to 
the other QM-programs and cannot test this, so if you have, could you 
please run the same job with a different QM-program.


Hope that helps

Christoph

I set up the BASENAME and ORCA_PATH as told in the instruction.
first of all, the normal electronic embedding just simply gave 
segmentation fault error right after the it prints information on 
number of steps of optimization.


So I switch to ONIOM, this time, at least, orca is called and energy 
and gradient are both generated. However, when it comes to read the 
energy and gradient, it always crashes when tried to read gradient, 
this is at *line 346* source code src/mdlib/qm_orca.c


sscanf(buf,"%lf\n", &QMgrad[k][XX]);

a segmentation fault error is printed. If I replace the &QMgrad[k][XX] 
by an temporary variable temp

 sscanf(buf,"%lf\n", &temp);
temp gets the correct value and if I use,
QMgrad[k][XX]=temp
and tries to print QMgrad[k][XX], a bus error will be printed.
I did some research online, seems that usually this implies an memory 
bug in the code which is the most difficult bug one can ever encounter.

So has anyone successfully used gromacs and orca to do QMMM?
Generally, would anyone recommend using gromacs to do QMMM?

Cheers,
Xiaohu

[gmx-users] Using g_select to detect water pores in a bilayer

[Manuel Nuno Melo]

Hello,

I have a coarse-grain lipid bilayer system with a pore-forming peptide. I am
trying to use g_select to automate the detection of the opening of a water
pore.

My idea is to count the number of water molecules within a certain z
distance of the bilayer center, and flag a pore above a certain threshold.
The problem is that the position of this z-slab cannot be hardcoded because
my simulations are relatively long and there is sometimes a drift of the
bilayer.

I tried instead to define the z-distance of the waters relatively to the COM
of the acyl chains (my terminal acyl beads are named C4A and C4B, and the
water residues PW):

centerbilayer = com of name "C4[AB]"
resname PW and within 0.5 of centerbilayer

However, as expected, this defines a sphere around the COM, not a z-slab. Is
there anyway to achieve that using g_select?

Another approach to count pore waters like:
resname PW and within 0.8 of name "C4[AB]"

also fails because the pore is lined by peptide molecules and a relatively
large distance for the PW-C4 distance must be allowed. This means that
interfacial waters will be frequently counted in.


Any suggestions are welcome.

Manuel Melo

If your box was not completely solvated, then don't use -maxsol.  A box of 6x6x6 
nm should require more than 500 molecules of water to fill.  If you're trying to 
achieve some specific mole fraction or concentration, then re-figure your box size.

Hi Bharat,

If you have used the -deffnm option then the output gro will be called 
whatever name you used for the -deffnm option and not the default 
confout.gro.

working with the same system, there can be differences in the final energy.  EM

Hi all,

Constant-pH MD simulations using an older version of gromacs (v. 3.2.1) 
is possible:


http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/jp056456q
http://dx.doi.org/10.1529/biophysj.106.092445
http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/prot.21923
http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/ja808463e
http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/jp104753t

Unfortunately, newer versions (v. 4.x.x) do not allow the use of Freeze 
Groups in NPT simulations, which is essential for the method to work. In 
case this is "solved" in future releases, we will port the method to new 
and faster gromacs versions.

Secondary structure is dependent upon the chosen force field and
the .mdp settings.  Since you've posted neither, there's no way to
tell what might be to blame.

You can save more frequently by setting the proper output
controls.  Read in the manual about the nst* options and set the
accordingly.

   Please leave the old context for the discussion in future

work that
   you can be sure of remembering things :-)

   If your simulation started with these strands unfolded,
then
   your problem is somewhere else. However, you have to be
able to
   tell us what was the initial conformation, and when
your "first

   I would also add that VMD does a fairly poor job sometimes of

present in
   the very first frame, that doesn't necessarily mean the
secondary
   structure wasn't stable, it just means VMD didn't display

after every step say for eg. after energy minimization ..

Dear all,

What is [commands]?


Is it true? If no, how can I convert it into .itp?
 


A .gro file contains coordinates, while an .itp file is a topology.  They're not 
interconvertible.


The output of g_x2top is either a .top or .rtp, not a .gro, so I don't know what 
you're working with.  A .top can be converted to a .itp very easily:

If your simulation started with these strands unfolded, then your 
problem is somewhere else. However, you have to be able to tell us what 
was the initial conformation, and when your "first trajectory frame" 
(per last email) happened in the simulation.




I would also add that VMD does a fairly poor job sometimes of guessing secondary 
structure.  So if no beta strand was present in the very first frame, that 
doesn't necessarily mean the secondary structure wasn't stable, it just means 
VMD didn't display it properly.
