Re: [gmx-users] segmentation fault from power6 kernel

2011-11-03 Thread Fabio Affinito

Thank you, Mark.
Using GMX_NOOPTIMIZEDKERNELS=1 everything runs fine on power6.
I also tried to run on a linux cluster and it went ok.


Fabio



The most likely issue is some normal blowing up scenario leading to a
table-lookup-overrun segfault in the 3xx series kernels. I don't know
why the usual error messages in such scenarios did not arise on this
platform. Try setting the environment variable GMX_NOOPTIMIZEDKERNELS to
1 to see if this is a power6-specific kernel issue. Try running the .tpr
on another platform.

[gmx-users] Energy Minimisation

2011-11-03 Thread Ravi Kumar Venkatraman
*Dear all,
 I am trying to minimize the energy of the single molecule
using gromacs. I tried with the following mdp

; VARIOUS PREPROCESSING OPTIONS FOR ENERGY MINIMIZATION OF ISOLATED MOLECULE
include  =
define   =

; RUN CONTROL PARAMETERS
integrator   = steep
nsteps   = 5000
init_step=

; ENERGY MINIMIZATION OPTIONS
emtol= 10
emstep   = 0.01
nstcgsteep   =
nbfgscorr=
nstcheckpoint= 100
nstlog   = 100
nstenergy= 1

; SIMULATED ANNEALING
annealing  = no
annealing_npoints=
annealing_time =
annealing_temp=

But it shows the following error,
  ERROR: The cut-off length
is longer than half the shortest box vector or
 longer than the smallest box diagonal element. Increase the box size or
decrease rlist.

 I have not included any the cut-off in the mdp file, but it still shows
the error. Am I supposed to include something to mdp to run single molecule
energy minimisation.


Thank you*

Re: [gmx-users] source of opls Mg2+ parameters?

2011-11-03 Thread Thomas Piggot

Hi Chris,

If I remember correctly the magnesium ion parameters are the Aquvist 
parameters (http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/j100384a009).


Cheers

Dear users:

does anybody know where the OPLS magnesium parameters are from? As far  
as I can tell, they are not in Jorgensen 1996 or Kaminski 2001, In  
spite of the fact that many simulation studies reference these papers  
for their magnesium opls parameters.


In fact, I do not think that the opls mg2+ parameters in ions.itp are  
taken from any of the references listed in ffoplsaa.itp. I checked the  
following references with searches for magnesium, mg2+, and a general  
visual scan:


; W. L. Jorgensen, D. S. Maxwell, and J. Tirado-Rives,
; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 118, 11225-11236 (1996).
; W. L. Jorgensen and N. A. McDonald, Theochem 424, 145-155 (1998).
; W. L. Jorgensen and N. A. McDonald, J. Phys. Chem. B 102, 8049-8059 (1998).

; G. A. Kaminski, R.A. Friesner, J.Tirado-Rives and W.L. Jorgensen, J.  
Phys. Chem. B 105, 6474 (2001).


 From a web search, the TINKER program indicates that it uses OPLS  
Mg2+ parameters from an unpublished source:


OPLS All-Atom Parameters for Organic Molecules, Ions, Peptides   
Nucleic Acids, July 2008 as provided by W. L. Jorgensen, Yale  
University during June 2009. These parameters are taken from those  
distributed with BOSS Version 4.8.


(above quote from http://dasher.wustl.edu/ffe/distribution/params/oplsaa.prm )

although those tinker parameters (sigma=0.1450 and epsilon=3.9600) do  
not match the values for opls in the gromacs ions.itp (sigma=0.164447  
and epsilon=3.66118). I did not check out BOSS directly (it costs  
money), but I did look at the manual on the Jorgensen web page,  
although that manual does not contain Mg2+ parameters.


I also checked the gromos magnesium parameters that are distributed  
with gromacs and verified that these c6/c12 values do not match the  
sigma/epsilon opls values after a conversion with g_sigeps.


Thank you very much for your time and assistance,
Chris.

Re: [gmx-users] Simulation of membrane protein

2011-11-03 Thread James Starlight
Mark,

Firstly I've downloaded Berger's dppc.itp and dppc.gro ( I've already have
had gromos lipid ff)

than I made pdb file for just 1 molecule of the dppc lipid consisted of 50
atoms and generate for that new molecule lipid_posres.itp via pdb2gmx

than I've included lipid_posre.itp to the dppc.itp at the end of file where
the reference for the posres_lipid was already existed as POSRES_LIPID.

I've included in the minim.mdp
define= - DPOSRES_LIPID

than I've minimized my bilayer dppc.gro and checked by VMD if the bilayer
was perturbed after simulation

So althought posres were included in the minim.pdb the bilayer was
perturbed ( tails of lipids were less ordered in comprison to the initial
bilayer )

Why posres didnt work?

 We can't know, because we don't know what's in any files, nor why you
 think the bilayer was perturbed. If you would like useful help, you need to
 be exhaustive in your description of what you have done, what you have

 This probably means that you have inserted topology section

 In that case move the position_restraints section to the right
 molecule.

 What's most true for such multy system. Generate posre only for 1 part
 or for whole system?


 Position restraints can only be applied on a [moleculetype] basis.  Thus,
 order matters a lot, and the whole system cannot be restrained in one file.
  See the example here:

 http://www.gromacs.org/**Documentation/Errors#Atom_**index_n_in_position_
 **restraints_out_of_boundshttp://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Errors#Atom_index_n_in_position_restraints_out_of_bounds

 As it stands now, the topology you've shown tries to apply lipid position
 restraints after the ions have been #included, which makes no sense at all.

Re: [gmx-users] Small molecule - CHARMM

2011-11-03 Thread EGY
I'm not a regular contributor, but I thought I'd comment since I just went 
through this exercise. I found the tutorial from the VMD group to be the 
easiest to follow.
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Training/SumSchool/materials/sources/tutorials/05-qm-tutorial/part1.html
This tutorial uses GAMESS, which is open source (and easy to install!). See 
molecularmodelingbasics.blogspot.com for detailed information to use the 
software, especially if you use mac. The tutorial will also teach you how to 
validate or correct the bond stretching force constants as well.
Hope that is helpful.

RE: [gmx-users] Simulation of membrane protein

2011-11-03 Thread Kukol, Andreas
1) Ensure that lipid_posres.itp was included in the topology by using grompp 
-pp processed.top
2) Check the content of lipid_posres.itp (often the P-atoms are restraint only 
and not the tails), you may post an extract of that file to the mailing list.

You should explicitly provide the settings you wish to use.  The default of 1.0 
nm will be applied (which may or may not be appropriate), and the error suggests 
your box is too small, so you should build a proper one.

not I've included posre only to the lipid.itp wich consist of
parameters for just 1 lipid

#ifdef POSRES_LIPID
#include posre_lipid.itp
#endif

to the minim.mdp I've included
define= -DPOSRES_LIPID; position restrain the lipids

As the result I have not obtained any error in grompp but after
minimization my lipid bilayer was perturbed. I've used very
strong posres. Why it have not worked ?

We can't know, because we don't know what's in any files, nor why
you think the bilayer was perturbed. If you would like useful
help, you need to be exhaustive in your description of what you
have done, what you have observed and what you think about those.
It is easier for people who might volunteer free help to do
something else with their time than to ask follow-up questions
when few details were given originally.

Fatal error:

This probably means that you have inserted topology
section position_restraints
in a part belonging to a different molecule than you
intended to.
In that case move the position_restraints section to
the right molecule.
For more information and tips for troubleshooting, please
check the GROMACS
website at http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Errors

What's most true for such multy system. Generate posre
only for 1 part or for whole system?


Position restraints can only be applied on a [moleculetype]
basis.  Thus, order matters a lot, and the whole system
cannot be restrained in one file.  See the example here:


http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Errors#Atom_index_n_in_position_restraints_out_of_bounds

As it stands now, the topology you've shown tries to apply
lipid position restraints after the ions have been #included,
which makes no sense at all.

The most likely issue is some normal blowing up scenario leading to a
table-lookup-overrun segfault in the 3xx series kernels. I don't know
why the usual error messages in such scenarios did not arise on this
platform. Try setting the environment variable GMX_NOOPTIMIZEDKERNELS to
1 to see if this is a power6-specific kernel issue. Try running the .tpr
on another platform.

[gmx-users] source of opls Mg2+ parameters?

2011-11-03 Thread chris . neale

Thank you Tom!

Aqvist_A12 = sqrt(gromacs_C12*10^12/4.184)
Aqvist_A6 = sqrt(gromacs_C6*10^6/4.184)

(equation verified based on the SPC water oxygen parameters, also  
listed in Aqvist).


This reference (Aqvist, J (1990) J. Phys. Chem., 94 (21), pp  
8021?8024) should probably be noted somewhere in ions.itp or in  
ffoplsaa.itp. That might help stop these non-opls parameters from  
being cited as opls parameters.


Chris.

-- original message --

Hi Chris,

If I remember correctly the magnesium ion parameters are the Aquvist
parameters (http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/j100384a009).

Cheers

Dear users:

does anybody know where the OPLS magnesium parameters are from? As far
as I can tell, they are not in Jorgensen 1996 or Kaminski 2001, In
spite of the fact that many simulation studies reference these papers
for their magnesium opls parameters.

In fact, I do not think that the opls mg2+ parameters in ions.itp are
taken from any of the references listed in ffoplsaa.itp. I checked the
following references with searches for magnesium, mg2+, and a general
visual scan:

; W. L. Jorgensen, D. S. Maxwell, and J. Tirado-Rives,
; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 118, 11225-11236 (1996).
; W. L. Jorgensen and N. A. McDonald, Theochem 424, 145-155 (1998).
; W. L. Jorgensen and N. A. McDonald, J. Phys. Chem. B 102, 8049-8059 (1998).
; R. C. Rizzo and W. L. Jorgensen, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 121, 4827-4836 (1999).

; G. A. Kaminski, R.A. Friesner, J.Tirado-Rives and W.L. Jorgensen, J.
Phys. Chem. B 105, 6474 (2001).

  From a web search, the TINKER program indicates that it uses OPLS
Mg2+ parameters from an unpublished source:

OPLS All-Atom Parameters for Organic Molecules, Ions, Peptides 
Nucleic Acids, July 2008 as provided by W. L. Jorgensen, Yale
University during June 2009. These parameters are taken from those
distributed with BOSS Version 4.8.

(above quote from http://dasher.wustl.edu/ffe/distribution/params/oplsaa.prm )

although those tinker parameters (sigma=0.1450 and epsilon=3.9600) do
not match the values for opls in the gromacs ions.itp (sigma=0.164447
and epsilon=3.66118). I did not check out BOSS directly (it costs
money), but I did look at the manual on the Jorgensen web page,
although that manual does not contain Mg2+ parameters.

I also checked the gromos magnesium parameters that are distributed
with gromacs and verified that these c6/c12 values do not match the
sigma/epsilon opls values after a conversion with g_sigeps.

Thank you very much for your time and assistance,
Chris.

I suggest you do all the GROMACS tutorial material you can find, and 
supplement that with reading several published articles that do 
simulations with objectives similar to yours.

[gmx-users] Steered MD in reverse direction?

2011-11-03 Thread Sanku M
Hi,
  I am performing steered Molecular dynamics simulation to pull a molecule out 
of a complex. I am using gromacs 4.5.4 to perform the constant rate pulling..I 
have done the steered MD simulation in a particular direction i.e hav pulled 
the molecule out of complex.
But, to check the convergence/hysterisis of the pulled path way, I would like 
to perform the same steered MD in reverse direction i.e push the molecule back 
into the complex. But, I was wondering, to perform the backward steered MD, how 
should I modify the .mdp parameters?  Should I make the pull_rate1 negative or 
switch the pull_group0 and pull_group1 ?  Any help will be appreciated.

The following is the part of the pull-code parameter I am using:
; Pull code
pull            = umbrella
pull_geometry   = distance  ; simple distance increase
pull_dim        = N N Y
pull_start      = yes       ; define initial COM distance  0
pull_ngroups    = 1
pull_group0     = Mol_A
pull_group1     = Mol_B
pull_rate1      = 0.0025      ; 0.01 nm per ps = 10 nm per ns
pull_k1         = 1000      ; kJ mol^-1 nm^-2

Use a negative pull rate.  But simple pulling like this can be difficult; you're 
now trying to hit a moving target.  A slight rotation of the protein can render 
the whole simulation junk - your pulled molecule may smack into some undesired 
location.

Re: [gmx-users] Steered MD in reverse direction?

2011-11-03 Thread Sanku M
Thanks for the suggestion.
 Also, I was wondering how one can get the time profile of the irreversible 
work from the gromacs pull-code out put . From constant pulling-rate SMD, we 
get time profile of force pullf.xvg and pullx.xvg. I wonder does multiplying 
the the value from pullx.xvg and value from pullf.xvg will provide the work . 
Or, will it be force ( obtained from pullf.xvg) multiplied by pulling rate 
multiplied by time ?
