[gmx-users] Regarding MKTOP

2011-10-10 Thread Ravi Kumar Venkatraman
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.
Please help sort this problem.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Valentina,

Check position_restraints (chapter 5).
These are used in standard MD during equilibration, so you can check
any tutorial protocol on how to use them.

Hope it helps,

Re: [gmx-users] grompp error

2011-10-10 Thread Justin A. Lemkul



Mark Abraham wrote:


; water topology
#include tip3p.itp


grompp is not detecting the change of [moleculetype], so you will have 
to look at the contents of that tip3p.itp and see why. I think you will 
need to #include some standard force field to get the water parameters. 
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.  The series of #ifdefs (none of 
which can be satisfied in this topology, anyway) cover only Gromos and OPLS.


Try #include amber03.ff/tip3p.itp or something similar for whichever Amber 
force field you want to use.

[gmx-users] g_hbond

2011-10-10 Thread Mr Bernard Ramos
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.

Dear gmx users:

I am using gms 4.07, my system contains a protein with net charge and a
plain,here I want to calculate the the angle between the dipoles of protein
and the XY plain vs. time. What should I do?

  And is this way right:

I define a positive center and a negative center, and define a vector which
point from the negative center to the positive center, and the angle between
the vector and the plain is what I want?

Or the “g_dipoles” command is exactly doing the way I mentioned before? If
so ,please tell me the details on how to get the results use this command!

 

Thanks a lot!

structure positions and they are allowed just to vibrate around this positions. 
This is not a real MD simulation but I need it just to calculated radial 
distrubution function among the atoms in the crystal. Tahnk you in advance

So you need a suitable combination of nstxout and post-processing with 
trjconv.



I don't want to save snap shot for 128 ion-pairs. How can I take average

I don't understand what you want to do.

[gmx-users] RMSF calculations

2011-10-10 Thread Gurunath Katagi
Dear all,
I have a set of proteins(in pdb format) in which some are solved by X-ray
diffraction and some by NMR.
I have done the md simulation of these proteins using gromacs for 30ns [For
NMR structures, i have taken the first model as the starting structure]

Now, that i want to calculate the RMSF value from the simulations and
compare with the RMSF values from experimental structures [X-ray/NMR]
For the proteins with crystal structures , calculation is done using using
g_rmsf function and the comparison is done.

and  for protein from NMR structure , the RMSF values are calculated from
the simulation trajectory. 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 ..?

Thanksin advance ..

Thanking You
Gurunath

Re: [gmx-users] Questions about dodecahedron box

Thanks, Tsjerk.
Exactly as what you said, it was because split of molecules over

 Hi Zhenlong,

 I guess that some molecules got split over the boundaries during
 equilibration. You have to make them whole before changing the box.
 Better to start off with a rhombic dodecahedron though.

[gmx-users] g_hbond

2011-10-10 Thread Mr Bernard Ramos
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.

Re: [gmx-users] RMSF calculations

2011-10-10 Thread Tsjerk Wassenaar
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

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).

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

2011-10-10 Thread Li, Hualin
Dear GMX users,

   I am using pull code to make a distance restrain to my proteins and 
membrane,which looks like this:



pull =   umbrella
  pull_geometry=   cylinder
 pull_vec1 =   0 0 1
 pull_r1  =   2.5
 pull_r0  =   2.5
 pull_dim =   N N Y ;# 3D

pull_start   =   yes ;# add COM distance to initial value (initial value = 
equilibrium value)
pull_ngroups =   32 ;# excluding the reference
pull_group0  =   membrane ;# the reference group - the membrane
pull_pbcatom0=   -1 ;# or -1 - important for PBC of groups larger than half 
box,
  ;# as here for membrane (see manual)
pull_group1  =   protein ;# the protein
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  =   800 ;# kJ mol^(-1) nm^(-2)

However, I have 32 protein to keep this local dynamic distance restrain (   
pull_geometry=   cylinder ), making the calculation goes very slowly. Is 
there any method to reduce the frequency to update the dynamic distance check 
and restrain please?

Thank you in advance.

  You told pdb2gmx to write the TIP4P topology into your .top, but then 
you used a

  3-point water model. You need to solvate with tip4p.gro.

   grompp -f sub.mdp -c 1AKI_solv.gro -p topol.top -o em.tpr

   in the grompp it says the error , how to solve this , and it comes 
only

   for tip4p not for other water models.

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



It should be the donor-acceptor distance.  There was some discussion on 
this a few weeks ago.  The code




Oops, forgot to finish that thought.  Someone came into my office...

Where I was going was that the code is very convoluted and I honestly can't 
follow it, so hopefully a developer can confirm the proper action so the 
documentation can be updated.


-Justin

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?




I wouldn't bother.  That would require cherry-picking a commit from the 
git repository.  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).

TI or BAR are better methods for calculating binding free energies, I would

[gmx-users] How to obtain structures with large RMSD?

I am trying to use Gromacs to obtain structural ensembles around native

However the simulated structures are always very close to the initial one,
with RMSD  0.2.
I am wondering how to obtain large-RMSD structures? Thanks.

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.

Re: [gmx-users] How to obtain structures with large RMSD?

2011-10-10 Thread Tsjerk Wassenaar
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

 How do I use the history input in the make_ndx prompt,

 such as before I input

 name 32 A2
 name 33 A3

 up arrow showed me:  ^[[A
 Alt+up arrow showed me:  ^[[1;3A


Such behavior is not programmed. You are welcome to add the necessary
part of the code. CTRL+C/V solves the problem.

Quite right.  I guess I just took the OP's stated desire for sampling around the 
native structure, which considered the PDB structure itself to be native. 
Thanks for the clarification; indeed an important point.

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.

Re: [gmx-users] FEP

2011-10-10 Thread Michael Shirts
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

2011-10-10 Thread Nathalia Garces
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.


Thank you for four answer

[gmx-users] Virtual Sites in a polymer backbone

2011-10-10 Thread Broadbent, Richard

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.

Many thanks,

Richard

significantly easier to implement.

You do not need to specify your gcc after the code is built.

 I would like to run REMD simulations on the alanine dipeptide using the
 Charmm27ff + CMAP. Still, after processing the pdb with pdb2gmx, I do not
 see any entrance referring to the cmap term in the topology file. Does this
 mean that Cmap won't be calculated?

 Any particular reason why improper dihedrals would not be suitable?  They are

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.

Thank you for the suggestion,

[gmx-users] reasons for slow computation?

2011-10-10 Thread Yun Shi
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?

Thanks for any suggestion!

Re: [gmx-users] reasons for slow computation?

2011-10-10 Thread Justin A. Lemkul



Yun Shi wrote:

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




Point #5 is the one to check.  You *assume* they are running on different 
processors, but are they?  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)?  Try running the jobs independently so you can be sure there is no 
potential overlap.  There is no Gromacs-based reason for this to be happening. 
I strongly suspect the hardware is the problem.


-Justin


How come the performance could have a 1:3 difference?

Thanks for any suggestion!

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.

[gmx-users] FEP

2011-10-10 Thread Fabian Casteblanco
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.  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:

Re: [gmx-users] FEP

2011-10-10 Thread Michael Shirts
 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.

 Step 188, time 0.376 (ps)  LINCS WARNING

      9     68   31.0    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] not guaranteed to be binary identical ?

2011-10-10 Thread Yun Shi
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!

section involve three consecutive residues. So I guess no cMAP term is required 
for di-ALA.

v4.5.4 
As I commented above, I had to manually add an entrance for the cmap terms in 
the topology file as pdb2gmx would not generate them for the alanine dipeptide. 
There seems to be no problem for larger peptides.

which gromacs version are you using? cMAP is implemented in v4.5  or later

I would like to run REMD simulations on the alanine dipeptide using the 
Charmm27ff + CMAP. Still, after processing the pdb with pdb2gmx, I do not see 
any entrance referring to the cmap term in the topology file. Does this mean 
that Cmap won't be calculated?

Re: [gmx-users] Re: reasons for slow computation?

2011-10-10 Thread Yun Shi
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.

Thanks,
Yun

More likely is that the mapping of processes to processors is faulty, as 
Justin said.

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.

Hi Yun,

For comparison, the conditions have to be equal. That does not include
possible hardware issues. So you should be fine.

Cheers,

Tsjerk
