RE: [gmx-users] amber DNA non-integer charge

2011-08-29 Thread Kamesh Narasimhan
Yes, you were right, upgrading it to 4.5.4 made sure the atom types/charges in 
the DNA termini were recognized correctly. This time the topology got generated 
with integer charges.

thanks

 I am using Gromacs 4.0.5 and in my ffamber03.rtp I can see that the charges

 But in my top file the H1 atom of the type amber99_17 gets replaced by the 
 amber99_25 type

 so what should have been

 amber99_17  1DG5 H1 19   0.352001.008   ;

 is written by pdb2gmx as

 amber99_25  1DG5 H1 19 0.4422  1.008   ;

 How can I make amber generate the topology with the right atomtype and charge 
 in this case?. Thanks in advance.


I don't know, but it's not productive to troubleshoot buggy behavior in a
Gromacs version that is over two years old.  I'd suggest upgrading to the newest
version (4.5.4, with the appropriate version of the Amber ports) and seeing if
the behavior persists.  Otherwise, edit the topology manually to correct the 
error.

 I understand that I have not inserted CA1 into atomtypes.atp. because if I 
 add CA1 as a new atom, I have to mention all bonds, angles, dihedrals of it.

The atomtypes.atp file is irrelevant here; it is only used by pdb2gmx.  What 
you are trying to avoid is what you have to do - if you introduce a new atom 
type and intend to use it in any bonded interactions, you must introduce 
relevant parameters for all the interactions in which it will participate.

 So I denoted the type of it as a known carbon atom in my topology file (in 
 the attachment). I thought in OPLS-AA, CA1 can cite this known atom since 
 CA1 is just a name.

Names and types are different.  You can name an atom anything you like, but 
atom types must be judiciously assigned.

 Meanwhile, in the ffbonded.itp and ffnonbonded.itp, I still use CA1 to give 
 bonds, angles, and dihedrals of CA1.
 

If you have inserted all of the correct parameters in these files, you would 
not receive the error above.  Perhaps herein lies the problem - if you have 
modified ffnonbonded.itp (which belongs to the force field organization of the 
4.5.x series), it will have no effect on a 4.0.7 executable, which is being 
called above.  So (at least) one of two possibilities is true:

1. You're not using the Gromacs version you intend to.
2. You haven't introduced all of the parameters you need to.

The bond_atomtype values are assigned in ffnonbonded.itp (counterintuitive, I 
know, but that's how

One of your molecules is trying to use an atomtype that isn't defined in

Yes.  Have a look at its contents - all you'll find in most common formats are 
the (x,y,z) coordinates of the named atoms.



I ask because I only have the geometry.

Do I get the topologie out of the geometry or from where comes it?



Please do some basic tutorial material to understand the Gromacs workflow.  For 
residue-based biomolecules like proteins and nucleic acids, use pdb2gmx.  For 
other molecules, g_x2top can create basic topologies for a limited number of 
force fields and molecules.  Otherwise, you'll have to obtain the topology by 
some other means.  There are other programs on the User Contributions page of 
the Gromacs site that can produce topologies for arbitrary molecules.


You haven't said yet what you're working with, so all I can do is venture

[gmx-users] Re: Difficulty building a topology for a synthetic, branched PEG-peptide molecule [SOLVED]

2011-08-29 Thread Pablo Englebienne

That's a long bond. Does your reference length in specbond.dat suit it?
IIRC there should be some evidence in the output of the special bond
being formed if it actually is. If not, your symptoms are probably related
Hi Mark, indeed, I think that was part of the problem. pdb2gmx indeed 
outputs a message when a specbond.dat rule is matched and a bond formed.


In case it helps to someone else or for reference purposes, I finally 
managed to solve the issue.


Some of the lessons I learned:
- make sure that the residues/atoms in specbond.dat were correct (I had 
defined a number of residues for termini and mid-chain PEG and 
connectors, and I got them confused at some point, so not all of them 
were being recognized properly). The dangling bond at at least one of 
the terminal ends given by pdb2gmx is most likely due to this and/or 
the protonation state of the residues connecting the fragments
- each fragment is assigned a different chain letter in the source PDB 
file; in my case, for a system like


[N-(peptide1)-C]-[N-(PEG)-C]-[N-(peptide2)-Lys-C]
|
NZ
|
[C-(PEG)-N]-[C-(peptide3)-N]

each fragment in square brackets is assigned a different chain name in 
[A-E] in the PDB file:


ATOM123  N   ARG A   1  74.024  13.299  50.237  1.00  
0.00   N1+

 ^
- always list the atoms within a chain in an N-to-C direction. This 
means that the main branch is defined first, and then the branching 
point is defined in an N-to-C direction, even if it is counterintuitive 
by the way they are connected. specbond.dat takes good care of setting 
up the connection in all cases (as long as they are well defined...).

- the PEG residues need to be defined as type Other in residues.dat
- call pdb2gmx to manually assign the termini and Lys protonation states 
manually, and to merge the chains into a single molecule:


pdb2gmx-ter  -f  substrate.pdb-chainsep  interactive-lys

- the internal termini (i.e., the ones that are peptide termini but 
are connected to a PEG chain) need to be given a protonation state of 
None, while the real termini can be assigned as charged or neutral, 
depending on the conditions



Oh, and well done for constructing a good question. You would likely not have 
gotten anywhere giving less detail :)
Thanks, it actually helped putting everything in writing, as it pointed 
out the few things that I hadn't yet looked at in detail...

[gmx-users] simulation at higher temperatures

2011-08-29 Thread arun kumar
Hi friends,

As a part of my work i have to do simulation at higher temperature (400K or
more) to study the folding, unfolding and stability of protein, for that i
kept simulation for 3ns at 400k (400k temperature both in equilibration and
production) keeping all the other parameters as usual (time step 2fs,
explicit solvent model SPC, equilibration with NVT and NPT ensembles for
100ps each  ). the simulation was completed but ,
1. in trajectory i found that protein is comming out of the box (cubic box
-d 1.0) i think may be the box size was not sufficient  (and i know that
when we increase the temperature the velocity of atoms will increase).
2.  when i save the structure with minimum energy  and saw in pymol i found
the side chains, hydrogens was broken through out the protein.
3. later i used the command ( trajconv -s md.tpr -f md.trr -o protein.pdb
-pbc nojump -dt 10 ) to save the conformations at each 10 ps and to see the
conformational changes by playing it as a movie in pymol , but i found a
single conformation was just shaking through out the movie (this is
happening in normal simulation also)

later i read in gmx user problems that most of the force field parameters
are calculated at room temperature, so in that case what are the parameters
and forcefield that we need to fallow for higher temperature simulations.

so can any one please takes time to explain this, it would be helpful for me
to study further.

Thanking you.

with regards

I doubt any simulation, even of the simplest protein, is complete at 3 ns.

1. in trajectory i found that protein is comming out of the box (cubic 
box -d 1.0) i think may be the box size was not sufficient  (and i know 
that when we increase the temperature the velocity of atoms will increase).


Please see FAQ #3 under the following section:

http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/FAQs#Analysis_and_Visualization

2.  when i save the structure with minimum energy  and saw in pymol i 
found the side chains, hydrogens was broken through out the protein.


Same as above.

3. later i used the command ( trajconv -s md.tpr -f md.trr -o 
protein.pdb -pbc nojump -dt 10 ) to save the conformations at each 10 ps 
and to see the conformational changes by playing it as a movie in pymol 
, but i found a single conformation was just shaking through out the 
movie (this is happening in normal simulation also)  


Your simulation length is inadequate to view any conformational changes.  These 
types of motions can require hundreds of ns, if not more (depending on the size 
of the protein), to visualize.

[gmx-users] g_lie

2011-08-29 Thread pawan raghav
g_lie calculates the deltaG= alpha(Vl-s LJp - Vl-s LJw) + beta(Vl-s
elp - Vl-s elw) equation. But when calculating DGbind from g_lie it will
ask for only one term at a time i.e. -Elj for either Vl-s LJp or Vl-s
LJw and -Cqq for either Vl-s elp  or Vl-s elw. My question is when
using only Vl-s LJp for -Elj and Vl-s elp for  -Cqq, how the LJ and EL
terms calculated for ligand-water interaction or in vice-versa condition for
ligand-protein interactions to complete the deltaG equation?

Re: [gmx-users] OPLS-AA Unknown Atomtype

2011-08-29 Thread Yao Yao
HI Justin,

I met these errors when I grompp to do 1st-time energy minimization before I 
planned to add the ions.

So I do not think ions addition will help. And I double-checked the angles, 
bonds,  mentioned in the ffoplsaabon.itp, they are there.
So I do not know any other files I may need to modify.

Thanks,

yao

The net charge problem cannot be solved by adding ions.  A fractional charge of 
that magnitude indicates the charges in the topology are wrong.

The only file that contains [bondtypes], [angletypes], etc is ffoplsaabon.itp, 
so if the entries are indeed there, have the correct format, and are placed 
appropriately, you wouldn't be getting this error.  So unless you post the exact 
lines in their exact context, I'm left to assume that you've done something else 
wrong.

[gmx-users] MARTINI / all-atom mapping

2011-08-29 Thread Michael Daily
Hi all,

I am trying to reverse-map some martini lipids to united atom.  In order to
do this, I'd prefer to have an EXACT definition of the aa-to-cg mapping.  I
cannot find this, only an imprecise graphic, in the MARTINI paper; the
martini.itp file doesn't appear to list which heavy atoms are represented by
each CG bead either.  For example, I'm looking for something like:

'NC3' : ['C1', 'C2', 'C3', 'N4', 'C5', 'C6'],
'PO4' : ['O7', 'P8', 'O9', 'O10', 'O11','C12'],
'GL1' : ['C13', 'O14', 'C15', 'O16'],
'GL2' : ['C32', 'O33', 'C34', 'O35'],

etc.

For some atoms it's obvious which MARTINI groups they belong in, but others
on the borderline are not obvious.  For example, does C12 belong in PO4 or
GL1?

Anybody have a master list like this?

Thanks,
Mike

Hello,

My simulation crashed in the middle and I used the -cpi checkpoint.cpt
-append option to continue. However, GROMACS cannot continue and complains
about not being able to open the corresponding .trr file. I checked my

Some kind of filesystem-based locking mechanism sounds most likely. If a 
zombie process of the old run still has the file, you might not be able 
to open it again. Also, check the file permissions.
