[gmx-users] amide partial charges

2011-03-26 Thread XUEMING TANG
Hi

May I ask if anyone know a good reference for partial charges of
"-CH2-NH-CO-CH2-CH2"(amide)? I plan to use gromos 53A6 force field.
I searched the internet quite a while but not sure what is the best. I will
be appreciated if you could recommend one with the reference paper. Thank
you in advance!

Cheers!

I met something weird,
suppose
I choose a C11, which is from ri 1-111.
if use
a C11, the atom is 111
if use
a C11 & ri 1-111, the atom is 111
if use
a C11 & ri 101-111, the atom is 5. Which is expected to be 10, so this
situation is wrong.
if use
a C11 & ri 1-100, the atom is 100, which is right.

I want to know  how can I use "!" to exclude some group?

This mistake is reproducible and I didn't figure it out (Even I examined the
.gro).

Thanks for any suggestion.

[gmx-users] heat capacity in 4.5.3 and 4.0.7

2011-03-26 Thread Elisabeth
Dear all,

I am trying to calculate Cv of a pure alkane 125 molecules with actual
density, and here is what I have done:

1-


Cv: Run NVT > g_energy>select T and Etot=total energy

As I issue g_energy  *.edr

Heat Capacity Cv:  12.4787 J/mol K (factor = 0.000369503)



And when I choose –nmol XXX

Heat Capacity Cv:  13.4007 J/mol K (factor = 0.0462137)



- Do I have to use –nmol? What would be the unit with –nmol ?


and as I issue g_energy using 4.5.3


Temperature dependent fluctuation properties at T = 299.987. #constr/mol = 0
Heat capacity at constant volume Cv:341.734 J/mol K


and with -nconstr # of bonds


Temperature dependent fluctuation properties at T = 299.987. #constr/mol =
19
Heat capacity at constant volume Cv:262.746 J/mol K

- From this I am guessing what 4.0.7 reports is not correct!?


but still what I am getting from 4.5.3 is far from actual reported value
(around 170). I guess I am missing something..! or Is the difference
acceptable?



 g_energy says:

you will need to give the number of constraints per molecule –nconstr



- so I need to count how many bonds are fixed in the molecule as I am
setting constraints= all-bonds?

The way to this is counting no. of bonds?  What about macromolecules? Is
there an easier way of finding number of constraints?



2-


Cp:


I did NPT, g_energy *.edr -nmol XXX -nconstr  (4.5.3)

I want to select T and enthalpy but since enthalpy is not on the list I
select total-energy (which is Etot I think) and pv terms but g_energy is
still giving Cv!


PropertyEnergy terms needed
---
Heat capacity Cp (NPT sims):Enthalpy, Temp



Energy  Average   Err.Est.   RMSD  Tot-Drift
---
Total Energy86.1571  0.0851.55565 -0.0944531
(kJ/mol)
Temperature 300.074   0.075.77219   0.318146
(kJ/mol)
pV  15.8128  0.0611080.82  -0.249203
(kJ/mol)

Temperature dependent fluctuation properties at T = 300.074. #constr/mol =
19
Heat capacity at constant volume Cv:325.067 J/mol K

Can you please guide me where the problem lies?

---


again Cv : to compare with constraints=none

but still -nconstr should be on otherwise I values are more off.


Total Energy132.418  0.0511.77314   0.144794
(kJ/mol)
Temperature 300.008  0.0524.502090.15866
(kJ/mol)

Temperature dependent fluctuation properties at T = 300.008. #constr/mol =
20
Heat capacity at constant volume Cv:442.016 J/mol K


3-

Thermal expansion coeff. (NPT): Enthalpy, Vol, Temp
Isothermal compressibility: Vol, Temp
Adiabatic bulk modulus: Vol, Temp


Since volume appears for calculation of the above properties , does this
imply only NPT results in these properties?

and wanted to make sure what 4.5.3 reports is reliable..


Many thanks for you time!

Best,

When linked against an installation of VMD, GROMACS can read and write any file 
format that
 VMD can do. For all I know, that might include Desmond's formats. It 
will certainly include something that Desmond can handle - even if 
that's a PDB pseudo-trajectory, for which you don't need VMD.

If there's some reason you can't get that to work, then don't simply re-post the

That looks like the correct function form on reasonable atoms - but 
you'd have to check the naming scheme yourself. Do the charges look 
reasonable to your chemical experience? How does a simulation of just 
NADPH in vacuo go? In a small water box?

Correct.


Have I missed some fine point in compiling that has left mdrun a little broken?



Possibly, but it probably depends more on your system's architecture than 
anything you did.  There is a configure option --disable-largefile (which should 
be the default), so you'd have to check config.log to see if this was changed to 
--enable-largefile based on what the configuration script found.  Or you can 
re-compile and see if configuration fails with --enable-largefile and understand 
the reason.

Gromacs separates proper and improper dihedrals in [dihedrals] directives, 
presumably for convenience.  Having one or two directives with proper contents 
does not make a difference.  If, however, PRODRG is assigning parameters that 
the force field library does not, that just sounds like typical PRODRG behavior 
- its parameters are often incorrect and one has to know the proper way to 
handle re-assigning parameters.  Bonded parameters are often more correct than 
charges and charge groups from PRODRG, which are wrong in all the cases I've 
ever seen.

Dear Mark,

As you correctly pointed out, I had looked into those improper dihedral
specifications several times before and it seems that they are properly
mentioned in the .itp file. I have been using the topologies generated by
PRODRG server for NADPH as i could not make it comply with the inbuilt
residue template library topologies. In this topologies generated by PRODRG
there is a directive called [ dihedrals ] and it listed out all the
dihedrals with comment lines showing proper and improper dihedrals, but this
seems to differ from the way the the topologies are defined in the gromacs
inbuilt template library which only lists out the impropers. Does this make
any difference in terms of grompp interpreting them during the
preprocessing? I am herein pasting a section of that dihedrals and a
snapshot of the NADPH molecule with the atom names labelled so that you can
see that the impropers you mentioned in your reply are infact mentioned in
the .itp file I am using.

The three improper dihedrals you have mentioned are highlighted
below...please correct me in case if i am getting the meaning wrong..Sorry
for flooding with long posts, but I am in a great need for some help on
this.
