[gmx-users] g_analyze doubt

2011-09-26 Thread aiswarya pawar
Hi users,

I have data with the time frame and the distances, how will compute the
autocorrelation of this. i did g_analyze but still dont understand what
should be the y axis data when providing input for g_analyze. please help.

Thanks

Re: [gmx-users] PCA depends of the number of frames?

2011-09-26 Thread Tsjerk Wassenaar
Hi Ricardo

 For the case (1) and (2) the most representative structure was used in the
 option -s ( One that has the lowest rmsd with respect to the average of each
 cluster).
 In case (3) the initial structure of the MD was used in the option -s.

If all belong to the same system, it is better to use one reference
structure, to define the conformational space in the same way,
allowing direct comparison.

 When I look the eigenvalues for the case (1) and (2), I found that the
 eigenvalue is zero only after index=number of frames (see below)
 In the case (3) the distribution is smooth
 I could expect a similar distribution for the case (1) and (2), because the
 frames are representative of the dymanics of the protein.
 Why this difference?
 PCA depend of the number of frames?

Yes, it does. This has, in fact, been pointed out in the early papers
on PCA in MD. I think it's best to read up more about PCA, including
some introductory material from statistics. One thing I'll give away
though... ;) Consider the motion of a particle in three dimensions. If
you have two frames, you can say something about motion along a line.
You need two frames to say something about motion in a plane, and you
need at least three points to say something about motion in all three
dimensions. Now in your case, each conformation is one point and the
conformational space in which the point moves has 3N dimensions. If
you have two points, you can only say something about motion along a
line, i.e., you have one component with nonzero eigenvector. With
three points (conformations), you can obtain two eigenvectors, which
span a plane, etc.

Hope it helps,

Tsjerk

Right, that should've been three frames, and four points :S Sorry.

I don't understand your question. Your first sentence implies you know 
what quantity you want to autocorrelate, and the second implies you don't.


g_analyze needs a time series in an .xvg file of some data to compute an 
autocorrelation. Usually, an .xvg file written by a GROMACS tool is 
already prepared for such further analysis.

Hi, many thanks for your answer.

 Any dynamical simulation has a lowest-energy structure... whether this
means anything is another question.

I am just wondering whether the structures you find with MD determined
mainly by thermodynamics  (i.e. the lowest energy structures) or by kinetics
(i.e. the structures
with the lowest activation barriers)?

I wonder to know how can I set the parameters and in which condition I
obtain the structure by thermodynamics, and in which condition (with which
parameter setting) I can obtain the structure by kinetics.

 MD samples the free-energy surface. Its shape and the temperature
determine what structures might be found, and in what proportions.

Do you mean that I can obtain the structure by thermodynamics in longer and
higher temperature ; obtain the structure by kinetics in shorter and lower
temperature?

To address this question, I think you need to seek a better description 
than driven by thermodynamics. All processes are driven by thermodynamics.


So I just wonder to know by using MD simulations, the results I

The two growth modes must differ somehow in the conditions that trigger

I do not think, that Gromacs has something like Lattice-Boltzmann

method for the calculation of the electrostatic forces, which is not
given with the analytical differentiation of SPME, that conserves only
energy and not momentum.

See g_hbond -h. You give the radius with -shell and the atom in the group.

 I am just wondering whether the structures you find with MD determined
 mainly by thermodynamics  (i.e. the lowest energy structures) or by
 kinetics (i.e. the structures
 with the lowest activation barriers)?

The energy is NOT minimized in thermodynamics. The relevant quantity
that is minimized is the free energy. In NVT-simulations it's the
Helmholtz free energy
F = E - TS
where T is temperature and S the entropy. The minimum of F is obtained
in the struggle of minimum energy and maximal entropy. E is, however,
minimized when T=0.

In NpT you minimize the Gibbs free energy
G = E + pV -TS
where p is pressure and V is volume. Here to minimize E you would set
p=0=T.

[gmx-users] atomic concentration in x and y axis

2011-09-26 Thread raj
Hello,

I have done simulations on cyclic peptide nanotubes and trying to calculate
the atomic concentration in the x and y axis, to measure the diameter of the
tube. I have tried using the g_rdf, but the results are confusing to
interpret. Here is the steps which I followed,

1. using trjconv, rotational and translational motions are removed from the
centered trajectory.
2. and then, g_rdf -f trj.xtc -s ref.gro -n index.ndx -o out.xvg  (I
understood that the -rdf atom option is the default one and this will
calculate the atomic distribution in the x and y plane)

I am not sure whether the elimination of translational and rotational
motions is enough to calculate this property, should I have to align the
structure in the z axis using the PCA analysis?

Regards,
Raj.

 I did not mean lattice boltzmann by BD.  By BD I meant Brownian
Dynamics. In general, for accuracy in dynamics,  one uses  hydrodynamic
interaction in brownian dynamics simulation. I  was wondering whether
hydrodynamic interaction is invoked in gromacs   implementation of
brownian dynamics simulation. 
Please keep correspondence on the mailing list. So how do want to
include hydrodynamic interactions into BD ? I think the
Lattice-Boltzmann method is a way to do this isn't it ?

Hello,

I do not think, that Gromacs has something like Lattice-Boltzmann
implemented so far. Furthermore you would need a momentum-conserving
method for the calculation of the electrostatic forces, which is not
given with the analytical differentiation of SPME, that conserves only
energy and not momentum.

The long-time behaviour is not interesting - look at the first 
picosecond. Also, as manual 8.5.1 hints, if you want to study short-time 
ACF behaviour, you need to sample data rather more frequently than the 
relevant time scales.

[gmx-users] Re: PCA depends of the number of frames?

2011-09-26 Thread Ricardo Cuya Guizado

Thanks Tsjerk
About my question... PCA depend of the number of frames?
and your answer:
Yes, it does. This has, in fact, been pointed out in the early paperson PCA in 
MD
Please, Would you give me some references,

Ricardo

Hi Ricardo
 For the case (1) and (2) the most representative structure was used in the 
 option -s ( One that has the lowest rmsd with respect to the average of each 
 cluster). In case (3) the initial structure of the MD was used in the option 
 -s.
If all belong to the same system, it is better to use one referencestructure, 
to define the conformational space in the same way,allowing direct comparison.
 When I look the eigenvalues for the case (1) and (2), I found that the 
 eigenvalue is zero only after index=number of frames (see below) In the 
 case (3) the distribution is smooth I could expect a similar distribution 
 for the case (1) and (2), because the frames are representative of the 
 dymanics of the protein. Why this difference? PCA depend of the number of 
 frames?
Yes, it does. This has, in fact, been pointed out in the early paperson PCA in 
MD. I think it's best to read up more about PCA, includingsome introductory 
material from statistics. One thing I'll give awaythough... ;) Consider the 
motion of a particle in three dimensions. Ifyou have two frames, you can say 
something about motion along a line.You need two frames to say something about 
motion in a plane, and youneed at least three points to say something about 
motion in all threedimensions. Now in your case, each conformation is one point 
and theconformational space in which the point moves has 3N dimensions. Ifyou 
have two points, you can only say something about motion along aline, i.e., you 
have one component with nonzero eigenvector. Withthree points (conformations), 
you can obtain two eigenvectors, whichspan a plane, etc.
Hope it helps,

Re: [gmx-users] BD with Hydrodynamic interactions?

2011-09-26 Thread Sanku M
I did not mean lattice boltzmann by BD.
 By BD I meant Brownian Dynamics. In general, for accuracy in dynamics, one 
uses  hydrodynamic interaction in brownian dynamics simulation. I was wondering 
whether hydrodynamic interaction is invoked in gromacs implementation of 
brownian dynamics simulation.

Hello,

I do not think, that Gromacs has something like Lattice-Boltzmann
implemented so far. Furthermore you would need a momentum-conserving
method for the calculation of the electrostatic forces, which is not
given with the analytical differentiation of SPME, that conserves only
energy and not momentum.

The manual section of BD doesn't mention it, so very probably not.

So it seems that the force_constants for O-H bond and H-O-H angle are
different? Does this mean amber and gromacs use different parameters for
tip3p water? or it's just acpype is not working right?

[gmx-users] Center of mass: distance restrain for groups

Dear GMX users, 

   How are you doing? I have a question about using distance restrain in 
GROMACS, have you ever use the distance restrain to between the protein and the 
center of mass of membrane. In gromacs, I can not find the option to choose the 
center of mass of specific groups like membrane.
Any ideas please? Thank you very much for your help.

 Have you read g_analyze -h and tried it out?

[gmx-users] Pressure estimation from NVT

2011-09-26 Thread Sikandar Mashayak
Hi

I am trying to determine pressure of water at given density and temperature
using SPC/E water model. To achieve this, I am doing NVT bulk simulations
and then using g_energy I get average pressure values. The question I have
is how accurate these average pressure predictions are?

e.g. I get average pressure of 185 bar for 300 K and 1 g/cm^3 water density,
but theoretical value for it is around 1 bar. What are the possible reasons
for this much deviation from theoretical value? Is there anything wrong with
my set up? I am using 2141 water molecules in 4*4*4 periodic box,
Nose-Hoover thermostat with 0.2ps time constant , MD algorithm with 1fs
time-step, LJ with 1.5 nm cut off and PME for electrostatics.

thanks
sikandar

RE: [gmx-users] Center of mass: distance restrain for groups

2011-09-26 Thread Li, Hualin
Hi, Justin,

 Thank you very much for your reply. I want to use the the pull code like 
this to do the restrain:


pullumbrella
pull_geometry   distance
pull_dimY Y Y ;# 3D
pull_start  yes ;# add COM distance to initial value (initial value = 
equilibrium value)
pull_ngroups1 ;# excluding the reference
pull_group0 DPPC ;# the reference group - the membrane
pull_weights0   0 ;# use mass as weight
pull_pbcatom0   0 ;# or -1 - important for PBC of groups larger than half 
box,
  ;# as here for membrane (see manual)
pull_group1 Protein ;# the protein
pull_weights1   0 ;# use mass as weight
pull_pbcatom1   0 ;# here is no issue since protein is smaller than half 
the box
pull_rate1  0 ;# do not pull, just maintain distance!
pull_k1 50 ;# kJ mol^(-1) nm^(-2)

However, I am sure about the word pullumbrella, is this 
command used in free energy calculation to do the sampling ?  I am not doing 
the free energy calculation, should I change something in the mdp file to 
modify it please?

Thanks,
Hualin

Using pull = geometry simply applies a harmonic potential between the two 
restrained species.  No free energy calculation is done unless you do a full 
free energy workflow and analyze using g_wham.

[gmx-users] simulation with position constraint by a harmonic potential

2011-09-26 Thread Liu, Liang
I am running Gromacs for RNAs, and I got a problem during the simulation:
How to perform the simulation with each heavy atom constrained to its
initial position by a harmonic potential, E = k(r-r0)^2?

What you want are position restraints, not constraints (which are for bonds). 
pdb2gmx should have generated a posre.itp file for this purpose.

Firstly I want to thank for your reply, yes, it should be position 
restraint.


I don't know how to reply in the thread, actually that was my first 
post. Therefore I have to ask you here, hope it also work to you.




Simply reply to the message.  The discussion needs to stay on the list.  The 
members are not private tutors.


My question is how to perform a position restraint simulation with the 
heavy atom constrained to its initial position by a harmonic potential 
E=k(r-r0)^2,

which changes with k equal to 0, 10, 20, ..., 90, 100, and so on?



You can adjust the force constant in the posre.itp file.  There is no automated 
way of decreasing or increasing a restraint; independent simulations must be run 
on the different topologies.

Thanks, and any helps will be highly appreciated.

RE: [gmx-users] g_analyze doubt

2011-09-26 Thread Dallas Warren
What have you tried with g_analyze so far?  What was your result?  Is it what 
you expect?  If not, why isn't it what you expect?

Trying something out is far faster and you learn more than waiting for a 
response from others that don't know exactly what you are doing.

At a first look, the command you want to run is

g_analyze -f data.xvg -ac autocorr.xvg

as you have a data file with time (x) and variable (y) data and you want the 
autocorrelation function of the variable data.  Have you tried that command?

Thanks for the information.

It looks the pdb2gmx can generate the posre.itp file and what I use is pdb2gmx
-ignh -ff amber03 -f *.pdb -o *.gro -p *.top -water spce.
The file shows:
; In this topology include file, you will find position restraint
; entries for all the heavy atoms in your original pdb file.
; This means that all the protons which were added by pdb2gmx are

CALL FOR PAPERS

 2nd International Workshop
on
  Model-driven Approaches for Simulation
Engineering
  part of the Symposium on Theory of Modeling and
Simulation
  (SCS SpringSim 2012)


#

March 26-29, 2012, Orlando, FL (USA)
http://www.sel.uniroma2.it/Mod4Sim12

#
# Papers Due: *** November 15, 2011 ***
# Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and
archived
# in the ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplorer and IEEE CS Digital Library.
# The Symposium is co-sponsored by IEEE.
#

The workshop aims to bring together experts in model-based, model-driven and
software engineering with experts in simulation methods and simulation
practitioners, with the objective to advance the state of the art in
model-driven simulation engineering.

Model-driven engineering approaches provide considerable advantages to
software systems engineering activities through the provision of consistent
and coherent models at different abstraction levels. As these models are in
a machine readable form, model-driven engineering approaches can also
support the exploitation of computing capabilities for model reuse,
programming code generation, and model checking, for example.

The definition of a simulation model, its software implementation and its
execution platform form what is known as simulation engineering. As
simulation systems are mainly based on software, these systems can similarly
benefit from model-driven approaches to support automatic software
generation, enhance software quality, and reduce costs, development effort
and time-to-market.

Similarly to systems and software engineering, simulation engineering can
exploit the capabilities of model-driven approaches by increasing the
abstraction level in simulation model specifications and by automating the
derivation of simulator code. Further advantages can be gained by using
modeling languages, such as UML and SysML – but not exclusively those. For
example, modeling languages can be used for descriptive modeling (to
describe the system to be simulated), for analytical modeling (to specify
analytically the simulation of the same system), and for implementation
modeling (to define the respective simulator).

A partial list of topics of interest includes:

* model-driven simulation engineering processes
* requirements modeling for simulation
* domain specific languages for modeling and simulation
* model transformations for simulation model building
* model transformations for simulation model implementation
* model-driven engineering of distributed simulation systems
* relationship between metamodeling standards (e.g., MOF, Ecore) and
distributed simulation standards (e.g., HLA, DIS)
* metamodels for simulation reuse and interoperability
* model-driven technologies for different simulation paradigms (discrete
event simulation, multi-agent simulation, sketch-based * simulation, etc.)
* model-driven methods and tools for performance engineering of simulation
systems
* simulation tools for model-driven software performance engineering
* model-driven technologies for simulation verification and validation
* model-driven technologies for data collection and analysis
* model-driven technologies for simulation visualization
* Executable UML
* Executable Architectures
* SysML / Modelica integration
* Simulation Model Portability and reuse
* model-based systems verification and validation
* simulation for model-based systems engineering

To stimulate creativity, however, the workshop maintains a wider scope and
welcomes contributions offering original perspectives on model-driven
engineering of simulation systems.

You must have a different plot to what you sent then, as that graph shows no 
decay what so ever, it appears to be essentially constant.  What that means is 
on that time scale there is no correlation between the velocity at a point in 
time and any time on the x axis before/previously.

Subject: [gmx-users] Pressure estimation from NVT

Hi

I am trying to determine pressure of water at given density and temperature 
using SPC/E water model. To achieve this, I am doing NVT bulk simulations and 
then using g_energy I get average pressure values. The question I have is how 
accurate these average pressure predictions are?

e.g. I get average pressure of 185 bar for 300 K and 1 g/cm^3 water density, 
but theoretical value for it is around 1 bar. What are the possible reasons for 
this much deviation from theoretical value? Is there anything wrong with my set 
up? I am using 2141 water molecules in 4*4*4 periodic box, Nose-Hoover 
thermostat with 0.2ps time constant , MD algorithm with 1fs time-step, LJ with 
1.5 nm cut off and PME for electrostatics.

thanks
sikandar

Thanks for the information.

It looks the pdb2gmx can generate the posre.itp file and what I use

The file shows:
; In this topology include file, you will find position restraint

It is unnecessary to paste this information.



So how to adjust the force constraint to the harmonic poteitial E = 
k(r-r0)^2, with different values of k?




The file format is discussed in the manual, Chapter 4.  You can alter the force 
constants in x, y, and z dimensions independently.  The force constants are 
listed in the fx, fy, and fz columns.


I am totally a new user of Gromacs, even MD simulation. Please help, 


I would suggest you familiarize yourself with Gromacs capabilities, file 
formats, and workflows by working through any of the multitude of tutorials 
linked on the Gromacs website.

Simply reply to the message.  The discussion needs to stay on the
list.  The members are not private tutors.

My question is how to perform a position restraint simulation
with the heavy atom constrained to its initial position by a
harmonic potential E=k(r-r0)^2,
which changes with k equal to 0, 10, 20, ..., 90, 100, and so on?


You can adjust the force constant in the posre.itp file.  There is
no automated way of decreasing or increasing a restraint;
independent simulations must be run on the different topologies.

-Justin

Thanks, and any helps will be highly appreciated.

Very important point.  There was a bug in pressure-related output in Gromacs 
versions up to, and including 4.5.3.  The instantaneous values are correct, but 
the averages are flawed.

The length of your simulation, and the absence of the equilibration 
period from your data collection are also critical factors in obtaining 
accurate converged averages, but usually neglected when people report 
what might be anomalies... please see

Re: [gmx-users] simulation with position constraint by a harmonic potential

Thanks.

Is this position restraint same to the one Position Restrained MD. I see
some tutorial shows there are always three step to perform a simulation: Energy
minimization, Position Restrained MD and  MD Simulation. Is it possible to
fulfill the position restraint during Position Restrained MD? Thanks.

Always is too strong, but this is common.

Yes, hence the name. How well they can be fulfilled depends on the
