[gmx-users] required topology stuff modification for GBSA

2011-06-28 Thread Makoto Yoneya
Dear GROMACS users:

This is self-reply to resolve the following error I'd met.

 Then I believe the error
  Fatal error:
  Cannot find length for atoms 1-3 involved in angle.
 occurs with some side-effects from the implicit solvent setting.

I'd found that the topology stuff should be more strictly
written with implicit_solvent=GBSA than that with
implicit_solvent=no.
For simple example, all-atom CH4 molecule has five atoms
and four bonds and six angles.
If I only have five angles by mistake, it is tolerant
with implicit_solvent=no but result in the error above with
implicit_solvent=GBSA.
It means you should check the number of angles,
if you've got the error when you change implicit_solvent=no
to implicit_solvent=GBSA.

Hope it helps.

Regards,

Makoto Yoneya, Dr.

  I can understand how the %SS values are obtained in the example given in
  http://redmine.gromacs.org/issues/683, but not in my case. Could you
  tell me how the %SS is obtained the output above.
 

 Like any other average.  From the code:

 /* now print percentages */
 fprintf(fp, %-8s %5.2f, # SS %, total_count / (real) (mat-nx *
 mat-ny));
 for(s=0; smat-nmap; s++)
 {
 fprintf(fp, %5.2f,total[s] / (real) (mat-nx * mat-ny));
 }
 fprintf(fp,\n);

 So the total number of secondary structure elements is divided by the
 product of
 (number of frames * number of total residues).

 Your results are affected by the problem I mentioned in the issue report
 you
 quote.  You have 42 residues, but since chain separators count as residues,
 the
 calculations are all done out of 47 residues instead.  You'll have to
 either
 modify the code to account for this problem or simply re-calculate the
 averages
 yourself.

2011-06-28 Thread Anna Marabotti
Dear Tsjerk, dear all,
thank you very much for suggestion. One of the main reasons why I never used
the rhombic dodecahedron box for my simulations is the fact that it is
really hard to visualize the results with programs such as VMD or Pymol, and
therefore I cannot check easily during the setting of my system if the work
proceeds properly. Since I would like to redo my simulations following your
suggestion, could you please give me some hints on how to proceed in order
to visualize easily the system? For example, now I created a dodecahedric
box filled with water and ions. I tried to visualize it with VMD and I saw
it as a rectangular box with the protein at one edge. I tried to use the
command trjconv:

trjconv -f prot_dod_box_neu.gro -s prot_dod_box_neu.tpr -o
prot_dod_box_neu2.gro -pbc mol -ur compact

and I obtained an error message stating:
Fatal error:
Index[84328] 84329 is larger than the number of atoms in the trajectory file
(84328)

I don't find this error neither in the gmx-users list archive (indeed it's
becoming harder and harder to search into this archive, given that each
message is visualized 10 times, as I already noticed sometimes ago), nor in
the Error section. The first .gro file is the one coming from genion, and
the .tpr file is the one I used to neutralize the system, which is the .tpr
file I should give to trjconv? You see, if every time I try to use a box
different from the standard cubic one I has to deal with such maybe trivial
(for you) problems, but difficult and long to solve, I'm quite discouraged
to use it! This is also a kind request for Gromacs Web site managers: could
you please add a section for this (recurrent, I suspect) problem of box
visualization in the How-to section? it would be very useful for users, I

Hi Anna,

The spikes you see occur because the protein is broken over the
periodic boundaries. Not hard to see that a broken molecule will have
a minimal minimal distance.

The other problem may well occur due to rotation of your molecule.
Since you set -bt tric, you just get a rectangular unit cell, which
has the drawback that the shortest distance may not be long enough to
keep the protein from self-interactions in certain orientations. I
know it's considered a pretty standard setup, which is why I mentioned
it before. You should use a rhombic dodecahedron.

With a rectangular cell, you could even have self-interaction in a
nastier way: the ends of the protein can try to avoid each other,
rather than align with each other. That would result in an altered
ensemble, yet one in which you wouldn't see violations of the minimal
distance. In a rhombic dodecahedron the spatial distribution is much
more uniform...

Cheers,

Tsjerk

[gmx-users] Tabulated potential for metal-oxide

2011-06-28 Thread manana koberidze
Dear All,

I've just started using GROMACS, I've read the manual and searched the
mailing list but still confused. I'm trying to simulate metal oxidation with
GROMACS. As a first step, I'm trying to tabulate the EAM (Embedded atom
potential), which in addition to residual pair-pair repulsion includes the
energy required to embed atom i in a local electron density rho, where rho
is defined as:
rho_i=SUM{k_j*exp(-beta_j*(r_ij-r*_j)) }
k, beta, r*_j are known parameters and the sum runs over all other atoms.

Is there any way to tabulate the energy functional of such local electron
density?

You need an intact starting structure to create a reasonable topology and run 
any sort of simulation.  Missing termini may not be significant, but any atoms 
or residues missing within the chain have to be reconstructed.

[gmx-users] force on protein by solvent

2011-06-28 Thread SebastianWaltz
Dear all,

I want to calculate the force on each protein atom induced by the SPC
solvent. Therefore I use the mdrun -rerun option and add to the .mdp
file the line
 energygrps  =  Protein SOL
If I compare afterwards the total force and the force of the solvent
written to the trr file I get for the second one absolute values which
are up to two times bigger when the total forces (including all the
protein protein forces). I do not think that cancellations of inter and
intra molecular forces should have such a big impact. Without the
energygrps the rerun gives the same values as the original run.
So I am not sure if it is enough to just add the above line to the .mdp
file before doing the restart.

Any help is welcomed

Thanks

Is there any way to tabulate the energy functional of such local 
electron density?


Since it depends only on inter-atomic coordinates, it should be 
possible. Before that, get some experience with normal GROMACS simulations.

There's a mistake in the Makefile: include is one level higher, but is
treated as if it would be in the current level and a cd .. is done
afterwards. You can move include into src, or just add a link to it:

cd src
ln -s ../include .

 dlist.c:197:1: error: pasting . and H does not give a valid
 preprocessing token

A similar error appears for me also for src/kernel/tpbcmp.c. In both
cases, look up the corresponding lines and remove the
pasting/concatenation operator ## as gcc seems to be smart and do
what it's supposed to do even without it. F.e. the offending line in
src/tools/dlist.c should look like:

#define BBB(x) (dl-atm.x != -1)

This is supported by several posts on the 'net, f.e.:

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.c.moderated/browse_thread/thread/33e7f5f44f25ca81

My tests were done on Fedora 14 with gcc (GCC) 4.5.1 20100924 (Red Hat 4.5.1-4).

Good luck!

[gmx-users] Iusses while converting a POPE pdb with pdb2gmx and ff charmm27

2011-06-28 Thread Kalavera
Dear gromacs users,

I constructed a small *.pdb file comprised of only lipids (POPE bilayer). If I 
try to convert this pdb file with pdb2gmx (gromacs 4.5.4) and the included 
charmm27 forcefield, I get warnings for missing hydrogen atoms and Long 
Bond warnings.  

In other threads, the lipids.hdb is discussed in this context. In my case, all 
hydrogen atoms are available. Do I need to proceed the lipids.hdb (like 
described in the manual), or can I leave it empty ?  
The resnames are consistent with the lipids.rtp entries.

Thanks for all your help,

M.Kalavera

[gmx-users] How to protonate a gmx trajectory?

2011-06-28 Thread Yun Shi
Hi there,

I am using GROMACS4.5.4 and the GROMOS 53A6 united-atom force field to do MD 
with my protein-ligand system.

I was trying to add aliphatic hydrogens to the .gro and .trr or .xtc trajectory 
file with g_protonate, but the Fatal error was:

Library file in current dir nor  not found ffgmx2in defalt directories.

Then re-name the directory in ../share/top/gmx2.ff to ffgmx2, and this time 
g_protonate seems to be able to find those .hdb files. But another error 
follows as:

Reading frames from gro file 'Protein in water', 66743 atoms.
Reading frame   0 time0.000   Opening force field file 
ffgmx2/aminoacids.hdb
Opening force field file ffgmx2/atomtypes.atp
Atomtype 1
Opening force field file ffgmx2/aminoacids.n.tdb
Opening force field file ffgmx2/aminoacids.c.tdb
Segmentation fault


I searched for 'Segmentation fault', nothing relevant to g_protonate came up.

So I wonder if anyone could kindly help me out? Or is there an easy alternative 
way to protonate the trajectory file?

Thanks a lot for your attention.

Yun

I know nothing about the system you are working on, nor does anyone else on this 
list.  If you have an inquiry about a Gromacs function, please post it, 
otherwise do not expect the users of this list to do your thinking for you.

pdb2gmx is ill-suited for dealing with multiple molecules.  The better approach 
is to work with a single POPE molecule with a suitably constructed .rtp entry 
for it.  pdb2gmx should then generate a topology for one lipid, which can then 
be modified to be used in an #include statement or extended to accommodate an 
entire bilayer simply by altering the [molecules] directive.


The errors you are seeing are likely due to naming mismatch or poor starting 
geometry, but since you haven't quoted the errors, I don't dare guess beyond that.


In other threads, the lipids.hdb is discussed in this context. In my case, all hydrogen atoms are available. Do I need to proceed the lipids.hdb (like described in the manual), or can I leave it empty ?  


The .hdb file is only necessary to reconstruct missing H atoms.  If your 
structure has all of them and they are correctly named, then an .hdb is not 
necessary.

The resnames are consistent with the lipids.rtp entries.

Library file in current dir nor  not found ffgmx2in defalt directories.

Then re-name the directory in ../share/top/gmx2.ff to ffgmx2, and this time 
g_protonate seems to be able to find those .hdb files. But another error 
follows as:

Reading frames from gro file 'Protein in water', 66743 atoms.
Reading frame   0 time0.000   Opening force field file 
ffgmx2/aminoacids.hdb
Opening force field file ffgmx2/atomtypes.atp
Atomtype 1
Opening force field file ffgmx2/aminoacids.n.tdb
Opening force field file ffgmx2/aminoacids.c.tdb
Segmentation fault


I searched for 'Segmentation fault', nothing relevant to g_protonate came up.



A segmentation fault is a generic memory error that can be produced by any 
program.


So I wonder if anyone could kindly help me out? Or is there an easy alternative 
way to protonate the trajectory file?



The g_protonate program is currently nonfunctional.  I have made a small fix in 
the release-4-5-patches branch, but the result is that the program can only 
handle .pdb files and nothing else.


There is an outstanding issue that awaits a real resolution:

http://redmine.gromacs.org/issues/589

In the meantime, I guess the only workaround is to generate .pdb files of each 
of your trajectory frames, then re-concatenate them as a new .xtc file.  That 
would be somewhat tedious, but should work.

[gmx-users] building a new molecule which does not exist in gmx data base

2011-06-28 Thread shivangi nangia
Dear Justin and other gmx-users,

As per the journal article, Practical Considerations for Building
GROMOS-Compatible Small-Molecule Topologies, PRODRG 2.5 server does not
assign  charges compatible with GROMOS force field.
PRODRG 2.5, however, assigns the correct atom types and bonded parameters.

I have to build 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid

Starting from PRODRG 2.5 produced .itp and further rectification is a good
idea? If yes, what should be strategy?

And if PRODRG should not be my starting point at all, then how should I go
about building the molecule/anion.


Please guide, as I am not well versed with gromacs.

Thanks,
SN

As we state in the article, the topology provided by PRODRG is a reasonable 
template, but the charges and charge groups require modification.  I've never 
seen a PRODRG topology that was correct at face value.  That said, with adequate 
modification, the topology should be reasonable for use with Gromos96 43a1; 
other modifications (atom types, etc) may be necessary to make the topology 
compatible with other, more modern, Gromos96 parameter sets.


And if PRODRG should not be my starting point at all, then how should I 
go about building the molecule/anion.



Please guide, as I am not well versed with gromacs.



For a molecule like yours, assigning charges and charge groups by analogy to 
existing functional groups should be a simple exercise.  If this does not give a 
satisfactory result (based on validation methods discussed in the literature), 
then apply the charge calculations described in our article.  Note that this 
task must be done with software external to Gromacs.


If you are not very comfortable with these ideas, it is not wise to plow ahead 
blindly and hope for the best.  Parameterization is an expert topic for a 
reason.  It requires great care and a thorough understanding of the intrinsic 
features of the force field you wish to work with.

You'll have to look at how the existing T-coupling regimes work. 
src/mdlib/coupling.c for starters, but the best advice around is to get 
out a debugger and step through the whole code to learn the flow. Do 
yourself a favour and work from at least 4.5.4.

Re: [gmx-users] R: gmx-users Digest, Vol 86, Issue 183

2011-06-28 Thread Mark Abraham

On 28/06/2011 8:09 PM, Anna Marabotti wrote:

Dear Tsjerk, dear all,
thank you very much for suggestion. One of the main reasons why I never used
the rhombic dodecahedron box for my simulations is the fact that it is
really hard to visualize the results with programs such as VMD or Pymol, and
therefore I cannot check easily during the setting of my system if the work
proceeds properly. Since I would like to redo my simulations following your
suggestion, could you please give me some hints on how to proceed in order
to visualize easily the system?


In my experience, trjconv -pbc mol -ur compact is the way to achieve this.


  For example, now I created a dodecahedric
box filled with water and ions. I tried to visualize it with VMD and I saw
it as a rectangular box with the protein at one edge. I tried to use the
command trjconv:

trjconv -f prot_dod_box_neu.gro -s prot_dod_box_neu.tpr -o
prot_dod_box_neu2.gro -pbc mol -ur compact

and I obtained an error message stating:
Fatal error:
Index[84328] 84329 is larger than the number of atoms in the trajectory file
(84328)


The contents of the -f and -s files have to match meaningfully. Yours don't.

I'm surprised this error message is as cryptic as it is. I'll make it 
less so.



I don't find this error neither in the gmx-users list archive (indeed it's
becoming harder and harder to search into this archive, given that each
message is visualized 10 times, as I already noticed sometimes ago), nor in
the Error section. The first .gro file is the one coming from genion, and
the .tpr file is the one I used to neutralize the system, which is the .tpr
file I should give to trjconv?


For -pbc mol, trjconv needs to be told the definition of the molecules 
in the -f file. So you need to supply a .tpr that corresponds to it. 
Generating ions is a tricky case, because the output files do not match 
the input .tpr. Hence its scarcity in the archives. However, since 
you'll shortly be generating a .tpr file for the next stage, it's not a 
real problem for visualization.



  You see, if every time I try to use a box
different from the standard cubic one I has to deal with such maybe trivial
(for you) problems, but difficult and long to solve, I'm quite discouraged
to use it!


The only problem with the above is a small gap in understanding. I hope 
I've filled that now.



  This is also a kind request for Gromacs Web site managers: could
you please add a section for this (recurrent, I suspect) problem of box
visualization in the How-to section? it would be very useful for users, I
think, and probably also for you (less trivial questions posted to the
gmx-users list...)


The web page is a wiki - anyone with useful contributions is welcome to 
make them, but registering an account for editing does require 
registration. People who've experienced and solved a problem are often 
well placed to document management strategies :-) Others will come along 
and flesh out details, etc.

[gmx-users] trjorder and index

2011-06-28 Thread Sanku M
Hi,
  I am trying to use trjorder command to generate a sorted trajectory where all 
the water molecules are certain distance away. I can use the trjorder command 
to 
generate the sorted trajectory where all waters are sorted based on distance 
but 
I am looking for method for creating a index file which will have  only those 
water molecules which are ,say 0.4 nm away from protein. So far, I could not 
find any way in trjorder which can give me an index file containing the water 
molecules certain distance away. -nshell option in trjorder only gives the 
number of water molecules within a distance but does not specify their indices.

 Also, since the water molecules are always fluctuating, the number of water 
within a certain distance and their indexing will change all the time.
So, I was wondering whether you can suggest a way where I can create an index 
file from the sorted trajectory so as to have only those waters which are 
certain distance away. I mean : is there any way in make_ndx tool , where one 
can do it using certain keywords. 

Any help will be really appreciated.

Dynamic selections can be created with g_select, not make_ndx.  The g_select 
output will be an index group for each frame, which (to my knowledge) cannot be 
automatically used by any Gromacs tool yet, but you can certainly select frames 
that correspond to these groups to write out a given frame.


The other problem is that you'll potentially have different numbers of atoms in 
each frame, making assembling a single trajectory impossible.

Both are just text files; use your favorite scripting language to convert 
between the two.  There is a program called top2psf.pl that is available from 
the User Contributions page on the Gromacs site that does the opposite (.itp to 
.psf) that you may be able to reverse engineer for your purpose.
