[gmx-users] rationale behind tcoupling ligand with protein instead of with SOL

2011-04-11 Thread Peter C. Lai
Any rationale behind the thermostat coupling of a ligand with the protein
instead of the ligand with the solvent (as shown in Justin's T4 Lysozyme
binding example)? Especially with small drug-type molecules as generally the 
ligand might/would take the usual place of solvent within a binding region 
or other solvent accessible surface and it might be more realistic to 
simulate the ligand as part of the solvent's ensemble (one might run two
simulations in order to compare the ligand-protein interaction to the 
water-protein interaction at the interaction interface...)

Re: [gmx-users] rationale behind tcoupling ligand with protein instead of with SOL

2011-04-11 Thread mohsen ramezanpour
Hi peter
I think the important is to don't couple small number of atoms(ligand
molecules or a few ions) separately to a reference tempreture!
It probably will result the same if you make two tcouple groups as below:
Protein-LIG   water-ions
or
Proteinwater-ions-LIG

I think they will be equvalent( with a good approximation)!

has the larger relevant surface area in contact with the ligand.

[gmx-users] problem with mpiexec, mdrun in gromacs/4.0.7

2011-04-11 Thread delara aghaie
Hello
I want to run a simulation in gromacs/4.0.7 because this version supports 
v-rescale option for thermostat and I need that.
tcoupl=v-rescale
 
in this version the grompp command does not need -np option. please let me know 
how I can specify the number of processors for my job.
 
I use a .ll file to submit my job. in this file the command line is:
mpiexec mdrun_mpi -v -s topol.tpr -np 8
(this is a coomand line which I used previously in my .ii file for gromacs/3.3
is this command line suitable for version 4/0/7 as well or I should change 
something?
 
Thanks in advance

Well my binding pocket also has water diffusing into it, and some of them
get replaced by the ligand atoms during binding, that's why I figured the
ligand should be heated with the same bath as the water, since it would
also be interesting to look at the interaction between any leftover water 
and the ligand...(and the water should be in motion over a simulation even
though there are only a few [ 20 ] of them...I did not assign binding pocket 
waters to the protein bath because I do not know the diffusion rate and did
not think it would be good to have them moving at different average velocity
distribution compared to the outside water since theoretically they should
be interchangeable...).

The way the ligand was docked was that I emptied out the binding pocket,
docked the ligand, then I took the ligand coordinates the docking program 
gave me and put it into the unbound ligand, then removed any overlapping 
waters, sort of how g_membed inserts the a protein into the bilayer.

I guess I can run both cases and see what happens...

Hello
I want to run a simulation in gromacs/4.0.7 because this version 
supports v-rescale option for thermostat and I need that.

tcoupl=v-rescale



Do the job properly, and install 4.5.4 for better parallel performance 
and more bug fixes.


*in this version the grompp command does not need -np option. please 
let me know how I can specify the number of processors for my job.*




See 
http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Gromacs_Utilities/grompp#Parallel_calculations



I use a *.ll* file to submit my job. in this file the command line is:
*mpiexec mdrun_mpi -v -s topol.tpr -np 8*
(this is a coomand line which I used previously in my .ii file for 
gromacs/3.3
is this command line suitable for version 4/0/7 as well or I should 
change something?




It will work in 4.0.7 and 4.5.4 using all the processors available to 
mpiexec, and the -np 8 is ignored.

2011-04-11 Thread Justin A. Lemkul



Peter C. Lai wrote:

Should I couple a ligand associated with a membrane protein to the same
COM group as the Protein_POPC group? It makes sense to me that would be the 
case since if we are investigating the interaction between protein+membrane 
and ligand we want to have the same COM correction vector applied to both 
relative to SOL_Ions but I just wanted to make sure...




If specifying multiple groups for COM motion removal, yes, the intuitive 
solution is to group the ligand with the protein (since they're physically 
bound, presumably).  The general complication is whether or not multiple COM 
groups are necessary - if the protein protrudes out into the solvent in any 
substantial way, you could have instability when the solvent and 
protein/membrane COMs get re-set.  I have seen this before in the case of a 
protein in water with separate COM groups (which is not appropriate, for the 
record).  Membrane systems are somewhat more complicated because they form 
interfaces that can slide, but if the protein somehow affects this behavior, 
well, I don't know that there's a trivial solution other than comm_grps = 
System to avoid possible instability.  If you're interested in 
diffusion-related properties, on the other hand, that may not be appropriate. 
Plenty to think about, but again, probably no easy solution.

I don't think anybody has the computational resources to answer this 
question with unguided MD. Docking programs are probably the way to get 
a guide about what binding modes might be reasonable, but I don't know 
what software might be fit for the purpose.

Hello gmx users,

My system for NVT equilbration runs into segmentation fault as soon as I 
try to run it.

It does not give any warning or hint of what might be going wrong.
Since I am a new user I am having difficulty exploring the plausible 
reasons.


System: Protein( polyhistidine), 20  2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid anions, 
1:1 water: methanol (~3000 molecules of each) in 8 nm cube



I had had EM of the system using steepest decent. Outcome:

not reach the requested Fmax  1000.

You were already told that this is the source of your problem and any procedure 
is destined to fail.  What's more, you were given hints on how to solve your issue:

Hello,

I am trying to calculate number of hydrogen bond (O-H---CL)in my system.

I use the following command


 g_hbond -f 3.trr -s 3.tpr -n hbond18.ndx -nonitacc -num


Output file hbnum.xvg shows zero number of hydorgen bond.

Can you tell me why its showing zero no.

A strong peak is found in rdf between H and CL at 2.0 A.

[gmx-users] rationale behind tcoupling ligand with protein instead of with SOL

2011-04-11 Thread chris . neale
You didn't state your usage, but if you're doing US or decoupling, etc  
(some method where you lose the dynamics anyway) I suggest that you  
use Langevin dynamics. You will get the correct ensemble. Separate  
temperature coupling groups is a trick that helps in some cases, but  
it still does not give you the correct ensemble.


Chris.

-- original message --

Any rationale behind the thermostat coupling of a ligand with the protein
instead of the ligand with the solvent (as shown in Justin's T4 Lysozyme
binding example)? Especially with small drug-type molecules as generally the
ligand might/would take the usual place of solvent within a binding region
or other solvent accessible surface and it might be more realistic to
simulate the ligand as part of the solvent's ensemble (one might run two
simulations in order to compare the ligand-protein interaction to the
water-protein interaction at the interaction interface...)

Re: [gmx-users] comm-grps for a membrane-protein-ligand system

2011-04-11 Thread Peter C. Lai
Ok thanks

My primary concern is to cancel membrane-protein drift - the protein
getting pushed to one side of the membrane box (also it's important for
me to have the protein stay centered in the box too). I have not seen 
stability issues otherwise with COM turned on in the case of the unbound 
protein and the membrane as separate COM groups. The only instability 
I have encountered thus far is LINCS crashing due to too much forces if
I set the restraint forces too high (like 10 kJ/mol), but I've resigned
myself to the fact that the residual RMS drift appears acceptable at the end
of membrane/solvent equilibration runs if I drop it down to 1 kJ/mol
during NPT equilibration).

 If specifying multiple groups for COM motion removal, yes, the intuitive

 substantial way, you could have instability when the solvent and 
 protein/membrane COMs get re-set.  I have seen this before in the case of a 
 protein in water with separate COM groups (which is not appropriate, for the 
 record).  Membrane systems are somewhat more complicated because they form 
 interfaces that can slide, but if the protein somehow affects this behavior, 
 well, I don't know that there's a trivial solution other than comm_grps = 
 System to avoid possible instability.  If you're interested in 
 diffusion-related properties, on the other hand, that may not be appropriate. 
 Plenty to think about, but again, probably no easy solution.

[gmx-users] How to install GROMACS in Rocks Cluster 4.5.4 : ERROR

2011-04-11 Thread Miguel Quiliano Meza
Dear community.

I have been trying to install gromacs 4.5.4 in my rocks cluster version 5.4
but unfortunately the system showed configure: error: Cannot find fftw3
library after launch the ./configure (you can see below)

Really I do not understand because I did before this:

# export LDFLAGS=-L/opt/rocks/lib
   # export CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/rocks/include

  # ./configure --enable-mpi --disable-float
--prefix=/share/apps/opt/gromacs

   configure: error: Cannot find fftw3 library

I would be very grateful if someone could help me or give me advices. By the
way... I am trying to reproduce the steps posted in
http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/compile-and-run-gromacs-453-in-icr/for

Thank you in advance.

There is no center to a periodic system.  Molecules diffuse, there's no way 
around it.  If you try to apply some biasing force to fit some visualization 
convenience, you're potentially damaging the simulation's integrity.

Position restraints do not fix anything in place, they merely provide an energy 
barrier that penalizes change.  If your goal is simply to obtain a reasonably 
equilibrated system, then there is no need for a force constant above about 
1000, otherwise you may be overtly influencing the ability of your system to 
respond to change.

You have a precision mismatch.  By using --disable-float you are trying to 
install Gromacs in double precision (which for most applications is not 
necessary and results in some performance loss).  Thus, you need FFTW in double 
precision as well.  You probably compiled FFTW in single precision, thus the 
libraries are named libfftw3f, not libfftw3.

[gmx-users] Pressure coupling problem

2011-04-11 Thread Fabian Casteblanco
Hi,

I'm still in my first few months of using Gromacs.  I started by creating an
*.itp and *.top file for *Ethanol* using CHARMM force field parameters.  I
made the molecule and it looked fine, put 1000 molecules in a box, energy
minimized it to a negative potential energy, viewed it on VMD, again looks
fine.  When I started running the NVT script, I set it equal to a ref_T of
298 K.  It equilibrated at the temperature.  Then I tried using an NPT
script to equilibrate it to a ref_p of 1 bar.  This is where I get the
problem.  The output shows the density is close to the actual experimental
value of 0.789 g/cm^3.  But for some reason, my pressure never gets an
average of 1 bar.  It keeps oscillating, which I understand is normal, but
the average is always 1.3 or 1.4 bar (it seems the longer I let it run, the
larger the average pressure; 1.38 for 50,000 steps,dt=0.002 and 1.45 for
75,000 steps,dt=0.002).  I don't understand why the ref_p of 1 bar is not
working when I run this NPT.mdp script file.  My simple goal is to have 1000
molecules of ethanol using CHARMM ff parameters at 25degC and 1 bar and
somewhere near the experimental density.

I would really appreciate anybody's help!  I'm new to this but I'm eager to
keep getting better.

Thanks.

 I don't think anybody has the computational resources to answer this
 question with unguided MD. Docking programs are probably the way to get a
 guide about what binding modes might be reasonable, but I don't know what
 software might be fit for the purpose.

Your equilibration period (100-150 ps) is rather short, and the systematic 
increase suggests that you're simply not equilibrated yet.


Also bear in mind that a quantity that is prone to pressure fluctuations in the 
hundreds to thousands can only be so accurate.  There was a very thorough 
discussion about the statistical significance of pressure values that are not 
equal to ref_p just some time ago.  You may want to look through the archives to 
find this discussion.

Re: [gmx-users] Pressure coupling problem

2011-04-11 Thread Peter C. Lai
So your density graph looks stabilized? I also tend to look for changes in 
box x, y, z as well since the scale of their changes is easier to track.
Sometimes it helps to look at the error vs. rmsd vs total drift statistics as 
well for such parameters that are easier to track - again if density shows
stability for 0-150ps then check your boxes, it might be shrinking or 
growing due to the pressure perturbation, and you can use the average rate 
of change of those to find your equilibration point instead of trying to 
do something with a -300 to 300 bar pressure smear or whatnot.

  Hi,
   
  I'm still in my first few months of using Gromacs.  I started by 
  creating an *.itp and *.top file for /Ethanol/ using CHARMM force field 
  parameters.  I made the molecule and it looked fine, put 1000 molecules 
  in a box, energy minimized it to a negative potential energy, viewed it 
  on VMD, again looks fine.  When I started running the NVT script, I set 
  it equal to a ref_T of 298 K.  It equilibrated at the temperature.  Then 
  I tried using an NPT script to equilibrate it to a ref_p of 1 bar.  This 
  is where I get the problem.  The output shows the density is close to 
  the actual experimental value of 0.789 g/cm^3.  But for some reason, my 
  pressure never gets an average of 1 bar.  It keeps oscillating, which I 
  understand is normal, but the average is always 1.3 or 1.4 bar (it seems 
  the longer I let it run, the larger the average pressure; 1.38 for 
  50,000 steps,dt=0.002 and 1.45 for 75,000 steps,dt=0.002).  I don't 
  understand why the ref_p of 1 bar is not working when I run this NPT.mdp 
  script file.  My simple goal is to have 1000 molecules of ethanol using 
  CHARMM ff parameters at 25degC and 1 bar and somewhere near the 
  experimental density.
   
 
 Your equilibration period (100-150 ps) is rather short, and the systematic 
 increase suggests that you're simply not equilibrated yet.
 
 Also bear in mind that a quantity that is prone to pressure fluctuations in 
 the 
 hundreds to thousands can only be so accurate.  There was a very thorough 
 discussion about the statistical significance of pressure values that are not 
 equal to ref_p just some time ago.  You may want to look through the archives 
 to 
 find this discussion.

  I would really appreciate anybody's help!  I'm new to this but I'm eager 
  to keep getting better.

 I don't think anybody has the computational resources to answer this

 guide about what binding modes might be reasonable, but I don't know what

Re: [gmx-users] multicomponent system- units

2011-04-11 Thread Elisabeth
Hello Mark,

Thank you for your reply. I have already created the energy groups. I am
trying to validate pairwise energy values (nonbonded) with some other work (
a thermodynamic model) where they fit these AA AB BB (E_AA, E_AB, E_BB)
energies so that some phase diagrams are reproduced. The pairwise energies
defined in the model are in KJ/mol.

Since my energies are not per mol, my results are useless, unfortunately. As
they depend on number of molecules in the system. To achieve my goal, what
do you suggest? For a binary system, can I run two separate simulations for
pure A and B in which case using -nmol gives per mol energies and somehow
predict AB from them? Does this make sense?

Please guide me, I am stuck on this..

Thanks,

 Say there are 100 solvent, 20 solute A and 10 B molecules.


 You would have to start by defining energy groups that contain relevant
 sets of molecules (see manual). Even once you've got them, the group-wise
 energies won't mean much of anything. Every observable is dependent on the
 configuration microstate, and unless you can estimate the relative
 population of different microstates to estimate a free energy...

other work ( a thermodynamic model) where they fit these AA AB BB 
(E_AA, E_AB, E_BB) energies so that some phase diagrams are 
reproduced. The pairwise energies defined in the model are in KJ/mol.


So how did they compute these interaction energies?

The energy quantity GROMACS reports for a microstate can be best thought 
of as the energy one would have for a mole of such microstates. 
Alternatively, divide by N_A and that's the energy for this microstate - 
but that's a much less convenient number to use.


To obtain a quantity that is independent of the number of particles, you 
have to normalize for the number of interactions of each type. If these 
are all pairwise between atoms in a unary system, then you need to 
divide by the square of the number of atoms. So for the mixed 
interaction energy of the binary system, you divide by the product of 
the respective numbers of atoms.


You should also verify that these actually are converged observables 
that are independent of the number of particles by simulating replicates 
from different starting configurations, and systems of different sizes.

Since my energies are not per mol, my results are useless, 
unfortunately. As they depend on number of molecules in the system. To 
achieve my goal, what do you suggest? For a binary system, can I run 
two separate simulations for pure A and B in which case using -nmol 
gives per mol energies and somehow predict AB from them? Does this 
make sense?


Please guide me, I am stuck on this..

Thanks,

Hello everyone,

I have encountered a simple problem. For a homogenous system
what g_energy reports is dependent on the system size and one
needs to use -nmol option to divide energies by number of
molecules to obtain per mol values.

I am attempting to extract interaction energies between
species in a three component system. I am puzzled how this can
be achieved for such a system. Say there are 100 solvent, 20
solute A and 10 B molecules.


You would have to start by defining energy groups that contain
relevant sets of molecules (see manual). Even once you've got
them, the group-wise energies won't mean much of anything. Every
observable is dependent on the configuration microstate, and
unless you can estimate the relative population of different
microstates to estimate a free energy...

[gmx-users] Unexpected results arising from T- and P-coupling methods

2011-04-11 Thread 英雄不再寂寞
Dear gmxers,
   According to my recent practice, we find that the Berensen methods for T- 
and P- coupling can yield reasonable averaged density as a function of 
temperature, but when the v-rescale method and the Parrinello-Rahman method are 
employed for T- and P- coupling, somewhat unexpected results (i.e. density at 
higher temperature is bigger than that at lower tempearature) are obtained. 
Generally, the latter setup is considered to be prefered to the former one in 
simulating realistic ensemble. I am using gmx-4.5.3, and previously I have also 
performed one similar work using 4.0 which can generate expected results using 
the latter setup. I wonder if this version 4.5.3 has some bugs in calculating T 
and P, and are they dealt with in 4.5.4? Please give me some hints.
  
 Yours sincerely,
 Chaofu Wu, Dr.

What's your question? Most tutorials will use position restraints at 
some stage. There's theory discussion in the manual.

Re: [gmx-users] orientational relaxation

2011-04-11 Thread Tsjerk Wassenaar
Hi Daniel,

If you want to fix the com position, specify the molecule as comm-grps. If
you really don't want movement of the com, and use pressure coupling, first
put the molecule at the origin.

Hope it helps,

Tsjerk
