Hi all

I want to simulate a biphasic system that I want to arrange the third types
of molecules on the interface. would you please introduce to me a good
tutorial?

I can find a tutorial before but I lost it.

Thanks alot

[gmx-users] RMS force is very large for shell MD

2011-08-15 Thread zhongjin
Dear gmx users:
 I have read a paperAtomistic simulation of ion solvation in water explains 
surface preference of halides, I think it is a perfect work.  And I am also 
interested in the electrolyte  behavior at interface. I am using SWM4-NDP 
polarizable water model and ion Polarizable Alkali and Halide Ions in 
conjuction with SWM4-NDP water model by GMX4.5.4, I find the RMS force is very 
large, and at last the system blow up. BUT I simulate pure water with SWM4-NDP 
water model , It seems everything is OK.I need your help,  thanks in advance.
   Best wishes!

Google is good at finding things :)  Searching Gromacs biphasic system

Assign positions to both solutes within the same box with editconf -box -center 
(to manually set the COM position rather than allowing -c to put them both in 
the same place), then concatenate the coordinate files and solvate.

Alternatively, you can take two coordinate files, one with each solute, 
and use editconf to translate/rotate them so that their relative 
position is what you want, then concatenate them with a text editor 
(making sure not to break the file format), then solvate.

Re: [gmx-users] negative dihedral cp (during cgenff conversion)

2011-08-15 Thread Mark Abraham

On 15/08/2011 10:50 AM, Peter C. Lai wrote:

Random noob question:
Should the cp field (field 7) in [ dihedraltypes ] always be positive or can
it be negative?

In the CGenFF conversion, the CHARMM dihedral has:

OG302  CG2O2  CG321  CG331 -0.1500  1   180.00 ! LIPID methyl proprionate
when I convert to gromacs:

[ dihedraltypes ]
; i j   k   l   funcphi0cp  mult
OG302  CG2O2  CG321  CG331  9   180.0   -0.627601 ;LIPID methyl prop

This is the only instance I have seen of a negative number for the dihedral
term, so I wonder what the right way to handle it is...
(I suppose I could just run it and see...)


There are a small minority of CHARMM27 dihedrals that do this. There's 
no intrinsic reason why the potential should be positive or negative. 
Forces and energy differences are unaffected by the sign of any 
component of the energy. Probably they result from optimization of these 
parameters to reproduce reference quantites in the context of other 
fixed parameters.

Hi all

A very quick question. If I want to constrain all bonds in my system, 
is it just a case of setting  constraints = all-bonds. Do I have to
select the constraint algorithm. Here is my mpd file, I got no errors
but its seems that this might be too simple. Note there is no relevance

You didn't attach the file, but I don't suspect it's relevant anyway.  The 
default algorithm is LINCS.  Check mdout.mdp to confirm.  In the manual, for 
keywords with enumerated values, the first one listed is the default, so if no 
explicit selection is made, the default is used.

[gmx-users] berendsen P coupling and fluctuation properties

2011-08-15 Thread Elisabeth
Dear all,

I noticed that applying Parrinello-Rahman (PR) pressure coupling even after
equilibration with berendsen does not lead to target value for pressure when


;Bonds
constraints = none

is used. I tried Berendsen for to get fixed pressure ( 50 bar) but in the
next run PR even for long time is giving 52 bar. This is the case for other
target pressures too.

So this made me select Berenden which is giving target pressure values but
my concern is whether my results are reliable because BR does not give the
exact ensemble as PR. I read somewhere on the list that fluctuation
properties can not be calculated when BR is used.  What does fluctuation
property mean?

Does this mean that any property calculated form fluctuations of some other
quantity can not be obtained? like heat capacity which is defined based on
enthalpy fluctuations?

I am interested in potential energy terms (g_energy bonded/non boned terms)
and structural properties like rdf for a number of polymer molecules, system
size around 3000 atoms.

Thank you for your comments.

[gmx-users] Hamiltonian replica exchange ?

2011-08-15 Thread Sanku M
Hi,
   I was wondering whether hamiltonian replica exchange simulation has been 
implemented in latest version of  gromacs . Or, is there any other way of 
performing the hamiltonian replica exchange using some variants of 
lambda-dynamics ?

Re: [gmx-users] berendsen P coupling and fluctuation properties

Dear all,

I noticed that applying Parrinello-Rahman (PR) pressure coupling even 
after equilibration with berendsen does not lead to target value for 
pressure when


;Bonds
constraints = none

is used.


The use of constraints and the integration step size is linked. Roughly 
speaking, no constraints should accompany a 0.5 fs time step, H-bond 
constraints with 1fs and all constraints with 2fs. Haphazard changes to 
.mdp files have all kinds of these gotchas.


I tried Berendsen for to get fixed pressure ( 50 bar) but in the next 
run PR even for long time is giving 52 bar. This is the case for other 
target pressures too.


You need to be sure to collect statistics only after equilibration, and 
consider whether the observed variation is consistent with convergence 
to a given value.




So this made me select Berenden which is giving target pressure values 
but my concern is whether my results are reliable because BR does not 
give the exact ensemble as PR. I read somewhere on the list that 
fluctuation properties can not be calculated when BR is used.  What 
does fluctuation property mean?


BR does not produce the correct ensemble. I forget the details about 
why, but there are references in the T-coupling section of the manual 
you should consider.


Does this mean that any property calculated form fluctuations of some 
other quantity can not be obtained? like heat capacity which is 
defined based on enthalpy fluctuations?


IIRC, yes.

I am interested in potential energy terms (g_energy bonded/non boned 
terms) 


I routinely struggle to see why people think they can learn anything 
from these.


and structural properties like rdf for a number of polymer molecules, 
system size around 3000 atoms.


Thank you for your comments.

Re: [gmx-users] secondary structure propensities of residues

I am using the latest vesion of DSSP (the one available at DSSP homepage)


So, as discussed in some thread to which I was referring, there have 
been some changes to DSSP that prior versions of GROMACS don't cope 
with. Until GROMACS updates, use a version of DSSP that's at least a 
year old.

Hi,
I downloaded release-4-5-patches from git. It compiles and

Are you using a version of DSSP that is compatible with GROMACS,
pre previous discussion of DSSP changes?
