[gmx-users] Regarding MKTOP
Dear all, I have been using MKTOP for generating topologies for Amber and OPLSAA ff. I was trying to generate CCL4 topology in both OPLSAA and AMBER ff but Its not identifing the chlorine atoms and hence it couldn't generate bond stretching, bending parametrs.

Put the #include for tip3p.itp above your [moleculetype] to get some different diagnostics that may be more helpful. I think the problem is due to the fact that tip3p.itp in $GMXLIB does not #include the proper file in the Amber directory.

Hi everyone! I have some questions on g_hbond. According to Manual 4.5.4, hydrogen-bonds are counted/determined by g_hbond based on angle and distance cut-offs. The distance cut-off is based on the acceptor-donor distance. However, the online manual says that the distance is based on Hydrogen - Acceptor distance? The link to the online manual is as follows: http://manual.gromacs.org/online/g_hbond.html I am using Gromacs 4.5.3. I found out that g_hbond does not give the correct counts due to a bug http://lists.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-users/2011-May/061249.html I am fairly new to using Gromacs with limited knowledge in programming. How do I get this bug fixed with my current version? How can I patch the fix suggested above? The other question will be. Does the most recent version has the g_hbond fixed? I use Gromacs via Cygwin. Just in case I install the the new version, I would like to keep my old one. Is it ok, or do I have remove it? Thanks.

But in order to compare these, how does one get the RMSF values ? ,since the pdb file doesn't have the b-factors .. Is it a good idea to use the NMR ensembles ( usually 20 models from NMR) to derive the RMSF and compare these with simulation results ..? or is there any other parameter that i can calculate from NMR models, which is similar to RMSF ..?

I tried different value for -d and -box, but still have the same problem. Can anybody give me any hint to fix this? Thanks a lot!

Hi everyone! I have some questions on g_hbond. According to Manual 4.5.4, hydrogen-bonds are counted/determined by g_hbond based on angle and distance cut-offs.

How do I get this bug fixed with my current version? How can I patch the fix suggested above? The other question will be. Does the most recent version has the g_hbond fixed? I use Gromacs via Cygwin.

Re: [gmx-users] RMSF calculations
Hi Gurunath, Each structure in the NMR ensemble is a fit to the experimental data. Unlike an MD trajectory, you can not assume that the set of structures is a proper sample from the Boltzmann distribution, and therefore, the RMSF can not be expected to correspond to the RMSF of the system. Now, on a more qualitative level, it is likely that the parts that are less defined in the NMR ensemble will also have larger RMSFs than the rest, and could do for a rough comparison. Hope it helps, Tsjerk On Mon, Oct 10, 2011 at 12:22 PM, Gurunath Katagi gurukat...@gmail.com wrote: Dear all, I have a set of proteins(in pdb format) in which some are solved by X-ray diffraction and some by NMR.

Just upgrade to the latest version of Gromacs and it will be fixed. The other question will be. Does the most recent version has the g_hbond fixed? I use Gromacs via Cygwin. Just in case I install the the new version, I would like to keep my old one. Is it ok, or do I have remove it? You can maintain different versions concurrently as long as they are in discrete locations and you configure your environment to access the proper one (i.e. by sourcing the right GMXRC file). -Justin -- Justin A.

Re: [gmx-users] How to obtain structures with large RMSD?
Hey Justin, Large RMSD values would indicate non-native structures, which doesn't sound like what you're looking for. If your goal is simply enhanced sampling, try REMD. I think this is put too boldly. There are plenty of examples where pairs from native ensembles have large RMSD: e.g., proteins in alternative conformational states and intrinsically disordered proteins. The RMSD doesn't say anything about 'correctness' or 'nativeness', only about (dis)similarity. The RMSD distribution widens with denaturation, which might actually be what was meant. In that case, large(r) RMSD values can be obtained by raising the temperature, possibly as part of an extended sampling scheme, such as REMD. Cheers, Tsjerk -- Tsjerk A.

Re: [gmx-users] How to obtain structures with large RMSD?
Hi Liang Liu, You will never get broader sampling by adding restraints. If you want to have broader sampling, raise the temperature or add denaturants. But also ask yourself the question if what you think you want is what you should be wanting. What is the actual question you're trying to solve?

Position restraints are inherent inhibition to structural sampling. Their intent is to prevent the protein (or whatever restrained molecule) from changing too much. Of course, it can change since it's only a harmonic potential, but if you're looking for better sampling then I would turn off any form of position restraints. -Justin On Mon, Oct 10, 2011 at 10:20 AM, Justin A.

Re: [gmx-users] FEP
FEP is a poorly defined term. It can either mean 1) making small changes 'alchemical' changes in the molecules and computing the free energies by any method (BAR, TI, etc), or 2) it can mean specifically computing the free energies by exponentially averaging the potential energy differences. Basically, using the exponential averaging formula is a bad idea -- if you have code that only uses that method, you can get decent results out if you are careful, but TI, BAR, and MBAR are all better choices.

[gmx-users] using gromacs with an specific GCC
Good morning, I'm trying to use Scientific Linux 5.5 to run Gromacs 4.5.4. The problem is that the default version of gcc in this distribution is 4.1, which is broken for Gromacs!! I can install a newer version of gcc in compatible mode with gcc 4.1, but the last one will still be the default. Now, my problem is that I don't know how to specify to Gromacs to use the newer version. I've seen that you can specify which gcc to use while you configure the program, but I found no information of how to specify which compiler to use while running a MD simulation??.. I mean when using mdrun command or even while using every command in Gromacs.

[gmx-users] Virtual Sites in a polymer backbone
I wish to keep certain parts of the backbone of my polymer rigid and planar, as my primary interest is in the long length and timescale motion of the polymer. I am attempting to utilise virtual sites as a means to keep aromatic groups rigid and planar. My intention is to replace groups such as phenyl rings and connected 5 and 6 member rings (similar to Phthalimide) with 3 reference sites, then virtualise all the atomic sites. I'm going to use standard type 3 virtual sites and planned on constraining the relative positions of the 3 reference points. My plan is to pick sites such that the 3 eigenvalues of the moment of inertia tensor, the centre of mass, and the total mass of the system are conserved. As the system is two dimensional this amounts to a total of 6 non-linear equations for 9 variables which requires either additional constraints or a physically motivated guess to solve. I've searched the mailing list but have been unable to find any previous attempts at this. I was wondering if anyone knew of a reference where this had been attempted or if there had been any previous discussions about an approach similar to this? I am also very open to alternative approaches to holding these groups planar.

Any particular reason why improper dihedrals would not be suitable? They are significantly easier to implement. Yes the force field parameters for the molecule are not known and I am therefore fitting the parameters to Density Functional Theory. If I allow the units to move out of plane even slightly their will be additional parameters to fit which will make the problem unfeasibly computationally expensive.

[gmx-users] reasons for slow computation?
Hi all, I am doing MD simulation on two almost identical protein-ligand systems with GROMACS4.5.4 and amber99SB force fields. Almost every single parameter I used for this two systems are the same (I literally copied the mdp files for both), except that one has 65235 atoms while the other has 65205 atoms, which is caused by the difference of 10 water molecules. However, the 65235-atom one is significantly slower than the 65205-atom one, the computational speed (performance) ratio is roughly 1:3. I am really confused, since the only differences between them that I can think of are: 1. The configuration of ligands, that is, alpha sugar vs beta sugar 2. number of water molecules, 19477 vs 19467 3. octahedral box size, ~726.119 nm^3 vs ~726.322 nm^3 4. probably the initial velocities, since I am used gen_seed= -1 5. the cpu specs, as I am using a cluster (I specified procs=72 for both system and I assume they were assigned to different cpus randomly), which consists of Intel Xeon E5450 quad-core processor, running at 3.0 GHz, and Intel Xeon X5650 6-core processors running at 2.67 GHz How come the performance could have a 1:3 difference?

Are the nodes that are running the slow job fully functioning, or is one (or maybe more) down or overburdened with some other process(es)?

If you are maintaining 32 pull groups, your calculations will be horrendously slow, there's no real way around that without re-writing the code. If you can do that and maintain accuracy, then the developers are likely to be interested in it. Otherwise, accept the performance hit. -Justin Thank you very much in advance.

[gmx-users] FEP
Hi all, I have an additional question related to what Steven Neumann was mentioning. I actually have to do a molecule mutation. I'm trying to use Michael Shirts method 1) making small changes 'alchemical' changes in the molecules and computing the free energies by any method (BAR, TI, etc). I'm specifically want to try to use BAR at the end once I collect all the data. This helped a lot on clarification since it seemed that Justin's tutorial is essentially a FEP except its using the BAR mathematical method for computing the complete decoupling of the molecule rather than using the old FEP mathematics of the exponential averaging formula. So BAR is only referring to the mathematical code used to calculate the overall free energy for the FEP, correct? My question is, for a mutation of a -CH3 group to a -H group, is it better to simply run: [+ from (Lambda=0 , R-CH3, full charges and interactions -STATE A) -- (Lambda=1, R-CH, full charges and interactions -STATE B)] OR [1) from (Lambda=0 , R-CH3, STATE A : Charges and LJ Interactions: ON) 2) (Lambda=?, -CH3 Charges: OFF ,LJ Interactions: ON and unmutated) 3) (Lambda=?, R-CH3, -CH3 Charges: OFF ,LJ Interactions: OFF) 4) (Lambda=?, R-CH3, -CH3 Charges: OFF ,LJ interactions: ON and Mutated to -H) 5) (Lambda=1, R-CH3, -CH3 STATE B : Charges and LJ Interactions: ON) Reason I'm asking is because when I try the first choice to do it STATE A to STATE B in one step, when I reach Lambda=0.85 and above on the NVT equilibration right after EM, I receive errors saying that bonds are moving way to far off their constraints which leads me to believe that the system is moving too far from where it was energy minimized.

Re: [gmx-users] FEP
So BAR is only referring to the mathematical code used to calculate the overall free energy for the FEP, correct? Yes. The information required is the same, with the exception that exponential averaging requires energy differences from only one state, whereas BAR requires energy differences from both directions. Since you are likely running simulations at a range of states anyway, there's no extra cost. My question is, for a mutation of a -CH3 group to a -H group, is it better to simply run: [+ from (Lambda=0 , R-CH3, full charges and interactions -STATE A) -- (Lambda=1, R-CH, full charges and interactions -STATE B)] OR [1) from (Lambda=0 , R-CH3, STATE A : Charges and LJ Interactions: ON) 2) (Lambda=?, -CH3 Charges: OFF ,LJ Interactions: ON and unmutated) 3) (Lambda=?, R-CH3, -CH3 Charges: OFF ,LJ Interactions: OFF) 4) (Lambda=?, R-CH3, -CH3 Charges: OFF ,LJ interactions: ON and Mutated to -H) 5) (Lambda=1, R-CH3, -CH3 STATE B : Charges and LJ Interactions: ON) Currently, you'd need to run three simulations to do this (will likely be simplified somewhat in 4.6). Set 1: turn R-CH3 charges off in a way that preserves the total charge. Set 2: change CH3 LJ to H LJ Set 3: Turn R-H charges on in a way that preserves the total charge. Note that the first and last transformations will need only one two states -- their energies will be VERY small. Reason I'm asking is because when I try the first choice to do it STATE A to STATE B in one step, when I reach Lambda=0.85 and above on the NVT equilibration right after EM, I receive errors saying that bonds are moving way to far off their constraints which leads me to believe that the system is moving too far from where it was energy minimized. Errors such as: Step 188, time 0.376 (ps) LINCS WARNING relative constraint deviation after LINCS: rms 0.17, max 0.000636 (between atoms 9 and 68) bonds that rotated more than 30 degrees: atom 1 atom 2 angle previous, current, constraint length 9 68 31.2 0. 0.1110 0.

You probably have problems with the charge + LJ terms on the hydrogen. Note that you could possibly use soft core for the Coloumb interactions for hydrogen -- it's sometimes causes sampling problems, but for H's it probably doesn't matter. I haven't done this approach much so, so I can't tell for sure if it will work. -- gmx-users mailing listgmx-users@gromacs.org http://lists.gromacs.org/mailman/listinfo/gmx-users Please search the archive at http://www.gromacs.org/Support/Mailing_Lists/Search before posting!

Hi all, I am doing my MD simulations piece by piece, with -maxh and -noappend options, so that I can link pieces of trajectories together afterward. But as I did part0001 with 48 cores, and part0002 with 72 cores, the log file told me that: #nodes mismatch, current program: 72 checkpoint file: 48 #PME-nodes mismatch, current program: -1 checkpoint file: 16 Gromacs binary or parallel settings not identical to previous run. Continuation is exact, but is not guaranteed to be binary identical. I do not quite understand what it really means by binary identical? Would this affect my results? In other words, would using different # cores for each part give me different conformational assembles from using the same # cores each part? Thanks for any help!

Re: [gmx-users] CMAP for alanine dipeptide in Charmm27 ff
After checking the topology of my peptide, I found that every term in the cMAP section involve three consecutive residues. So I guess no cMAP term is required for di-ALA.

Re: [gmx-users] Re: reasons for slow computation?
Hi Justin, I guess you are right, that some processors on that cluster appear to be much slower than others. But I am still wondering that, would the difference in initial maximum inter charge-group distances (0.451 nm vs 0.450 nm) and minimum initial size of DD gird (0.620nm vs 0.618nm) make the two simulations NOT comparable? Because I want to compare the interactions of two different ligands with the same protein.

More likely is that the mapping of processes to processors is faulty, as Justin said. But I am still wondering that, would the difference in initial maximum inter charge-group distances (0.451 nm vs 0.450 nm) and minimum initial size of DD gird (0.620nm vs 0.618nm) make the two simulations NOT comparable? Because I want to compare the interactions of two different ligands with the same protein. That's just a detail of how the simulation is being implemented in parallel. There are a vast number of algorithmically equivalent ways to do this, and the initial conditions determine which is chosen. Since your initial conditions differ, so do the details.

Re: [gmx-users] Re: reasons for slow computation?
Hi Yun, For comparison, the conditions have to be equal. That does not include possible hardware issues. So you should be fine.
