Re: [gmx-users] Parametrisation of the heteroatomic pdb

Justin,


I've also look for the cap editing in the pymol but it seems that that
function lacks in that program

By the way, what are specificity of such Cap groups ? Do they are only
sheld charges on the termi or have something addition function?

What difference beetwen different caps I cant understand why in my
structure there are so non-standart groups.

 Unless you describe your problems, there's very little anyone can or will

 there are dozens of programs that are capable of drawing molecules or

 Also I've not found suitable topology for some D-isomers ( it's strange
 that parametriation for such typical non-standart residues is absent in all
 force fields ). As I understood I cant use topology of L-analogs for the
 parametrisation of such D-forms because I dont know suitable parameters for
 dihedrals for instance.
 Have someone pre-built parameters for the D-aa for Gromos or Charmm force
 field?

Re: [gmx-users] Normal Mode Analysis

2011-11-10 Thread Tsjerk Wassenaar
Hi James,

PCA on a trajectory is about fluctuations -the correlation between
deviations from an average positions-, NMA is about penalized
displacement -the increase in potential energy due to concurrent
displacement-. In NMA the lowest mode is that for which most atoms can
move most unrestrictedly. It seems evident that the side chains will
severely penalize the displacement of c-alpha atoms. I wouldn't call
that a solvent effect or damping. It's the nature of the protein, and
the error you make in your model when restricting to c-alpha atoms
only.

With respect to the other question, I think the best I can do is to
urge you to read more on principal component analysis, until you
understand the meaning of 'principal component', 'eigenvalue',
'score', 'projection' and 'loading' :)

Cheers,

Tsjerk

 Hi Tsjerk,

 Thanks for help. So as I understood if I want to calculate fluctuations only
 for Calpha I must first to do NMA of my reference in some mode subspace
 consisted of the eigenvectors for Calpha atoms only. Does this correct ?
 Previously I've done something like this for random subspace of modes in
 MMTK (just to reduce the space for calculation) but how perform such
 operation in Gromacs I havent known yet :)


 The c-alphas are less hindered in the second model due to the absence
 of the side chains and such. There's just more freedom.


 It's known that solevnt for instance could significant damp motions from
 normal modes. So in my case It seems that sidechains act as the solvent. How
 do you think may sidechains not only damp motions oberved for C-alpha atoms
 merely but also change the trajectory of their motion?

Re: [gmx-users] Parametrisation of the heteroatomic pdb

2011-11-10 Thread James Starlight
Thanks Mark,

1) By the way do you know any database where I could obtain information
about function of the specific CAP groups ?
E.g as I know the most spread CAP on N is ACE group but in my case there is
For ( simple COH group) instead of ACE.

I think that parametrisation of such simple groups should not be very
complicate but it's strange that I've not found already built topology for
them.


2) Also I've tried to made topology for D amoniacids. I've started with the
topology of L analogs e.g for D-val I've created enty based on the Val in
.rtp and .hdb files. Not I think I should to invert impropers for the
Calpha atoms that new topology represent to true D-isomer :) But I'm not
sure about how to make it correctly :)

In .itp I've found for new DVA residue

 [ impropers ]
;  aiajakal   gromos type
N-CCA H gi_1
   CA N CCB gi_2
   CA   CG1   CG2CB gi_2
CCA+N O gi_1

here there are 2 enties for the Ca atoms. What should I do with it for
invertion?

Re: [gmx-users] orca question and LA

2011-11-10 Thread Micha Ben Achim Kunze

Hey there,

my last mail got stuck as it was a bit too large it seems. As I wrote 
earlier there should be NO coordinates in the infofile... It looks like 
you have a problem with gmx not preparing a correct .inp file which 
should include keywords from the infofile, the coordinates of the 
QMsubsystem and pointcharges (depending on the method you use). Are you 
sure everything is compiled correct and that you specified your virtual 
atoms correctly for your force field (and with correct 
positions/constrains)? Have a look if gmx actually creates an .inp file 
and if yes what it includes.


Again, you should go through Gerrit's tutorials, they should get you 
going. There are also instructions on how to set up LAs for different 
force fields.


Cheers,
Micha

People use acetyl rather than formyl cap either because that's what was 
used in the experimental system, or because they are simulating a 
fragment from a larger peptide and acetyl makes for a better model of a 
peptide bond than formyl for only a small extra cost. I don't even know 
that any force fields have parameters for H-C(O)-N(H)-R. I suggest you 
use acetyl.

First, identify that there's anything to invert. Look at the #define 
lines for gi_1 and gi_2 and the manual sections for impropers. There's 
nothing associated with any handedness. The impropers for chirality 
prevent inversion, rather than enforcing a particular chirality. You can 
test this yourself. Make a .tpr of an L-amino acid and .gro files of 
each chirality, and then use mdrun -rerun Lconfiguration.gro -s 
Lconfiguration and compare with mdrun -rerun Rconfiguration.gro -s 
Lconfiguration.

Dear Xi Zhao,

The ORCAINFO file is no tok. You should not give the Opt keyword there. 
GMX is taking care of the optimization. If you provide the Opt keyword, 
ORCA will do an optimization in each QM forces calculation, but 
neglecting the QM-MM interactions, and this is not what you want.


So keep

[gmx-users] Disulphur bridge parameters

2011-11-10 Thread alberto arrigoni
Dear gromacs users,
I am simulating a protein complex with a disulphur bridge. I put the two
chains in the same moleculetype definition, and through pdb2gmx I
generate the disulfur bridge. When I checked the .top file for angles and
dihedral angles potential parameters I found out that these fields were
empty. I wonder why this happens, thanks!

[gmx-users] Converting of itp topology files

2011-11-10 Thread James Starlight
Dear Gromacs Users!


I need tto convert topology.itp fule  made for my molecule for the old
gromos87 force field to the form wich would be suitable for the simulation
with the gromos96 force field.

What  main corrections should I do in my existing .itp topology?



Thanks,

The file performance is horrible with cygwin (even much slower than a virtual

Re: [gmx-users] Running QM/MM in parallel (ORCA/GMX)

2011-11-10 Thread Christoph Riplinger

Dear Micha,

I just saw your mail and perhaps it got already solved in the past. 
Otherwise:
First you should try to set up ORCA calculations in parallel. If that is 
working, it is relatively straightforward for ORCA/GMX. Simply start GMX 
one a single CPU, and let ORCA run on several CPUs (by adding the !palX 
keyword in the ORCAINFO file).


Hope that helps,
Christoph

Hey there,

after working through the helpful tutorials about QM/MM I now ran into a 
problem when it comes to run ORCA/GROMACS in parallel and I could not find 
anything about this in the mailing list or on the gromacs page. I can run 
GROMACS or ORCA in parallel and QM/MM on a single core, but not in parallel 
using OpenMPI. My machine complains about openmpi as soon as I try to run 
QM/MM, but it doesn't complain when running a MD simulation in parallel.

As a first step, could someone provide an example of how to do a parallel QM/MM 
run or share some experience?

Micha

Hey there,

my last mail got stuck as it was a bit too large it seems. As I wrote earlier 
there should be NO coordinates in the infofile... It looks like you have a 
problem with gmx not preparing a correct .inp file which should include 
keywords from the infofile, the coordinates of the QMsubsystem and pointcharges 
(depending on the method you use). Are you sure everything is compiled correct 
and that you specified your virtual atoms correctly for your force field (and 
with correct positions/constrains)? Have a look if gmx actually creates an .inp 
file and if yes what it includes.

Again, you should go through Gerrit's tutorials, they should get you going. 
There are also instructions on how to set up LAs for different force fields.

Cheers,
Micha

For MPI, I can't really say as I did not get qm/mm with orca/gmx to run 
in parallel yet (using cp2k atm). Maybe someone else can advise you.

As usual, providing your actual command lines and input would lead to

The problem is that my .itp done for  old gromos ff consist of parameters
for molecule wich has some specific groups wich not preset in the gromos96
ff so pdb2gmx is not good decision :)

By the way I'm intresting what changes were done in the dihedrail terms
since gromos87 ff.
E.g I found topology wich consist of parameters for D-amino asids and I
want to compare it with L-analogs in gromos96 to find possibe way to make
such parametrisation in the gromos96

Then you'll have to work out how the old .itp worked, and how that 
functionality works in the current force field and file format. Chapters 
4 and 5 are your friends here.

Dear Micha,

I just saw your mail and perhaps it got already solved in the past. 
Otherwise:
First you should try to set up ORCA calculations in parallel. If that 
is working, it is relatively straightforward for ORCA/GMX. Simply 
start GMX one a single CPU, and let ORCA run on several CPUs (by 
adding the !palX keyword in the ORCAINFO file).


Hope that helps,
Christoph

Hey there,

after working through the helpful tutorials about QM/MM I now ran 
into a problem when it comes to run ORCA/GROMACS in parallel and I 
could not find anything about this in the mailing list or on the 
gromacs page. I can run GROMACS or ORCA in parallel and QM/MM on a 
single core, but not in parallel using OpenMPI. My machine complains 
about openmpi as soon as I try to run QM/MM, but it doesn't complain 
when running a MD simulation in parallel.


As a first step, could someone provide an example of how to do a 
parallel QM/MM run or share some experience?

Re: [gmx-users] about the velocity output from leap-frog integrators

Hello users,

I have few conflicting answers from the user mailing list about the
following question.

Using leap-frog integrator, what is the velocity that is WRITTEN in
the trajectory file for a frame corresponding to r(t)? Is it v(t-dt/2)
or v(t). Has the protocol for writing velocity in trajectory file been
consistent from version 3.x to 4.5.x?


With leap-frog, it is v(t-dt/2) in 4.5.x. v(t) is never even computed 
(see do_update_md() in src/mdlib/update.c). I don't know if Erik's 
statement was accurate in 2002, but it isn't accurate now.

[gmx-users] Problems with g_membed tools

2011-11-10 Thread LindaSong
 Hello all,
I want to use g_membed to insert a protein in POPC. I followed the manual 
steps. I used the grompp to generate the tpr file. It works well. But when I 
handed this tpr file to g_membed, it returned this:
---
Program g_membed, VERSION 4.5.3
Source code file: gmx_membed.c, line: 688

Fatal error:

Why it tries to remove more lipid molecules than there are in the membrane?
The membrane has 256 lipid molecules. I used PyMol to see the structure of the 
protein with POPC. The lipids cover the whole protein.
I don't know what's wrong here.
Please help me.
Thank you!

We can't know, because you haven't given us information like command

[gmx-users] gromacs/mopac compilation: linking libmopac

2011-11-10 Thread Javier Cerezo

Hi all

I am trying to compile gromacs with mopac but I'm experience some 
problems using libmopac.a. I have a x86_64 processor and I'm trying with 
gromacs-4.5.5. I've followed the instructions at the website (i.e. to 
compile libmopac.a, I've used the alternte dcart.f and gmxmop.f) but I 
didn't succeed. I've also seen that this topic have some times appeared 
in the mailing list but the trick proposed didn't work for me.


Here you have the steps with different scenarios I've gone through:

**A: Compilation of libmopac.a with fortran compiler then gromacs 
installation**


[ in mopac fortran folder]
javier@mopac/fortran/folder $FC -O2 -c *.f(where FC=gfortran or 
ifort)

javier@mopac/fortran/folder ar rcv libmopac.a *.o;ranlib libmopac.a
javier@mopac/fortran/folder cp libmopac.a ~/lib/

[in gromacs folder]
javier@gromacs/folder ./configure --prefix 
/home/cerezo/Programas/gromacs-4.5.5_with_mopac/ --with-qmmm-mopac 
--without-qmmm-gaussian  --disable-threads --disable-shared 
LDFLAGS=-L/home/cerezo/lib CPPFLAGS=-DUSE_MOPAC LIBS=-lmopac

javier@gromacs/folder make -j 4

Then I get lots of undefined reference errors:
cc -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -finline-functions -Wall -Wno-unused -msse2 
-funroll-all-loops -std=gnu99 -fexcess-precision=fast -o tpbconv 
tpbconv.o  -L/home/cerezo/lib ./.libs/libgmxpreprocess.a 
/home/cerezo/Programas/src/GROMACS_vX/gromacs-4.5.5/src/mdlib/.libs/libmd.a 
../mdlib/.libs/libmd.a -lfftw3f 
/home/cerezo/Programas/src/GROMACS_vX/gromacs-4.5.5/src/gmxlib/.libs/libgmx.a 
../gmxlib/.libs/libgmx.a -ldl -lnsl -lm -lmopac
/bin/bash ../../libtool --tag=CC   --mode=link cc  -O3

/home/cerezo/lib/libmopac.a(gmxmop.o): In function `donhco_':

/home/javier/lib/libmopac.a(timer.o)(.text+0x11d): In function `timer_':
: undefined reference to `for_write_seq_fmt'
... (an so on for each mopac object)

Where I think these refer to internal intel fortran functions 
(compilation with ifort, analogous errors come with gfortran internal 
functions). So probably I'm missing something to include this function 
at gromacs compilation time


---

**B: Compilation of libmopac.a with f2c+gcc then gromacs installation**
javier@mopac/fortran/folder  f2c *.f
javier@mopac/fortran/folder gcc -O2 -c *.c
javier@mopac/fortran/folder ar rcv libmopac.a *.o;ranlib libmopac.a
javier@mopac/fortran/folder cp libmopac.a ~/lib

[in gromacs folder]
javier@gromacs/folder ./configure --prefix 
/home/cerezo/Programas/gromacs-4.5.5_with_mopac/ --with-qmmm-mopac 
--without-qmmm-gaussian  --disable-threads --disable-shared 
LDFLAGS=-L/home/cerezo/lib CPPFLAGS=-DUSE_MOPAC LIBS=-lmopac

javier@gromacs/folder make -j 4

This time I also get undefined reference errors, but related to f2c 
funtions:
+timout.c0x105:)(:. textundefined+ 0x3c8reference) :to  undefined` 
do_fioreference'

totimer.c :`(do_fio.'text

In this case, do I need to include the f2c.h file somewhere in the 
gromacs qmmm interface code?


Could someone point me out where I'm mistaking and what should I do to 
complete the installation?


Thanks

Javier

 Hi,

 There have been quite some discussion on the topic of GROMACS on
 Cygwin so please search the mailing list for information.


 Actually I don't think this issue has been addressed. Some NUMA-aware
 thread_mpi stuff does not work under Cygwin, and code added since 4.5.4
 assumes that it does. I can find no reason to support that assumption.

 To work around, use configure --disable-threads.



 Some of that information might have not gone into the wiki
 (http://goo.gl/ALQuC) - especially that the page appears to be intact
 for the last 7 months. [Which is a pity and it would be really much
 appreciated if people in the future contribute back!!!]

 Additionally, AFAIK you will get better performance if you compile
 with MSVC which should be fairly easy if you use CMake - I'm not
 entirely sure about this


 I'd be surprised. Why should MSVC outperform gcc?


That statement was based on my previous experience which, admittedly, might
be outdated. I don't remember the exact details, but from what I recall,
the I had to fiddle quite a lot with gcc optimizations to get the
performance close to MSVC. One detail might be important: the code I was
working on is C/C++ mix which quite a lot of ++ in it.

Anyway, to get a better picture, it would be nice if people running GROMACS
on Windows could share their experience/performance numbers.

The slow IO performance under cygwin is a known problem with the approach
of cygwin and happens with any cygwin program and cannot be fixed by
GROMACS. If you   want decent IO performance you need to either use Visual
C++ or Msys/MingW (see http://redmine.gromacs.org/issues/448).

 The file performance is horrible with cygwin (even much slower than a
 virtual machine). But this should only be important for analysis. For
 simulation I agree that the performance should be as good  (I don't know

Re: [gmx-users] Parametrisation of the heteroatomic pdb

2011-11-10 Thread James Starlight
Mark,

I've mistaken

I need to invert impropers for DIHEDRAL for Calpha atom. By this way I want
to change L form to D form for Gromos ff. Does this correct ?

 [ dihedrals ]
;  aiajakal   gromos type
  -CA-C NCA gd_14
   -C NCA C gd_39
NCACBCG gd_34
NCA C+N gd_40
   CACBCG   CD1 gd_34


So I think that I need to make corrections in that gd_n  files. But in what
exactly and where in manual could I read about that parametrisation ?

It could be cool that in that section such information present :)
http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Terminology/Dihedral?highlight=dihedral


2011/11/10 Mark Abraham mark.abra...@anu.edu.au

 First, identify that there's anything to invert. Look at the #define lines
 for gi_1 and gi_2 and the manual sections for impropers. There's nothing
 associated with any handedness. The impropers for chirality prevent
 inversion, rather than enforcing a particular chirality. You can test this
 yourself. Make a .tpr of an L-amino acid and .gro files of each chirality,
 and then use mdrun -rerun Lconfiguration.gro -s Lconfiguration and compare
 with mdrun -rerun Rconfiguration.gro -s Lconfiguration.

want to change L form to D form for Gromos ff. Does this correct ?


 [ dihedrals ]
;  aiajakal   gromos type
  -CA-C NCA gd_14
   -C NCA C gd_39
NCACBCG gd_34
NCA C+N gd_40
   CACBCG   CD1 gd_34


I've no idea what any of the above was intended to mean. I'll repeat 
myself again, there's nothing about the improper dihedrals that enforces 
a particular chirality. Proper dihedrals also don't care about 
chirality. Chirality is set in the starting configuration, and merely 
preserved by the force field.





So I think that I need to make corrections in that gd_n  files. But in 
what exactly and where in manual could I read about that parametrisation ?


See the #defines in ffbonded.itp. The implementation of the GROMOS force 
fields are a bit idiosyncratic this way.

First, identify that there's anything to invert. Look at the
#define lines for gi_1 and gi_2 and the manual sections for
impropers. There's nothing associated with any handedness. The
impropers for chirality prevent inversion, rather than enforcing a
particular chirality. You can test this yourself. Make a .tpr of
an L-amino acid and .gro files of each chirality, and then use
mdrun -rerun Lconfiguration.gro -s Lconfiguration and compare with
mdrun -rerun Rconfiguration.gro -s Lconfiguration.

Hi James,

I suggest to see the differences in topologies for L and D amino acids 
(in the GROMOS force fields at least) you look in the aminoacids.rtp

Good thought :-) I finally see what my brain was missing - the angle of 
the improper dihedral is signed, and the relevant square is outside the 
brackets so the sign matters. The order in which the atoms are specified 
determines the sign of the angle. So molecules with opposite-sense 
chiral centres do need different topologies.

[gmx-users] Re: sudden drop of minimal periodic distance

Hi Tsjerk,

Thanks for the advice.

After I did the nojump conversion of trajectories, there were still quite a
few frames with min. dist. under 2.0 nm, but all of them were above 1.4 nm,
which I set for rvdw.

This is not ideal, but I wonder if it's still OK to use this trajectory?

Make sure to remove jumps from the trajectory (trjconv -pbc nojump) before
using g_mindist.
Also visually check a frame that is reported to have closed contacts.

Hope it helps,

Hi Yun,

Well, within 2 nm periodic images can influence each other through ordering
of water. But how much that will affect your results and how relevant it is
for the properties you're after is hard to tell. I think most people will
just continue with analysis, saying that there have been no direct
interactions.

[gmx-users] Re: Problems with g_membed tools

2011-11-10 Thread LindaSong
Thank you for reply. I am sorry I didn't apply more information

There are only protein and lipids in my system now. I used the CHARMM ff. The 
topology is like this:
[ molecules ]
; Compound#mols
Protein_chain_A 1
Protein_chain_A21
POPC1

In the grompp step, I used PME to calculate the electrostatic interaction, set 
the energy group to be Protein and the energy group exclusion to be 'Protein 
Protein'. I ignored the warning that grompp tells PME not calculating the 
long-distance interaction,because I think the long-distance interaction does 
not matter in this membrane insertion (Is this right?). And then get the output 
tpr file. command line like this:

grompp -f membed.mdp -c complex_noLIG_m.pdb -p topol.top -o 
membed.tpr -maxwarn 1

Then I used the generated tpr file in the g_membed, command line like this:

 g_membed -f membed.tpr -p topol.top -xyinit 0.1 -xyend 1.0 
-nxy 1000

I selected the Protein to be embeded in and POPC the protein be embeded into;

Then the g_membed tells:
  The estimated area of the protein in the membrane is 11.745 nm^2

  There are 1 lipids in the membrane part that overlaps the protein.
  The area per lipid is inf nm^2.
  Maximum number of lipids that will be removed is 0.

  Will resize the protein by a factor of 0.100 in the xy plane and 1.000 in 
the z direction.
 This resizing will be done with respect to the geometrical center of all 
protein atoms
  that span the membrane region, i.e. z between 2.510 and 7.767

So why the maximum number of lipids to be removed is 0? And I don't understand

It's hard to say without knowing what you did with pdb2gmx. You should be able 
to take your structure file with protein and POPC overlaid, pass that to 
pdb2gmx and get a correct .top. Depending on how the different POPC molecules 
are differentiated, you may need to choose pdb2gmx -chainsep differently.

 With leap-frog, it is v(t-dt/2) in 4.5.x. v(t) is never even computed (see

[gmx-users] Positive potential energy for TFE solvent

2011-11-10 Thread Harpreet Basra
Hi

I am trying to generate an equilibrated box of 216 TFE molecules.To
generate the 216 TFE molecule box i performed following steps:

1) I got the tfe.gro file and created a cubic box of edge length =
0.516 nm containing 1 TFE molecule (at its center), using the
following command:

 editconf -f tfe.gro -c -o tfe_box.gro -bt cubic -box 0.516

 I chose this length because in the tfe.gro file dimensions of the TFE
molecule are 0.516 0.516 0.516.

2) Then using genconf command i replicated the box to get a bigger box
with 216 TFE molecules using the following command:

 genconf -f tfe_box.gro  -o out.gro -rot -nbox 6

3) Energy minimization was done using STEEPEST descent

4) Then I performed 5ns NVT (300K) equilibration and followed by 5ns
NPT (300K, 1atm) equilibration.

After doing all these steps still I obtain a positive a potentail
energy. I get positive potential energy of the system (2.45+E04
kJ/mol) and kinetic energy as 4.03+E03 kJ/mol, thus giving a positive
total energy of the system. My question is whether obtaining positive
potential energy indicate some error in my TFE solvent box ? Is it
because of large Fluorine atoms of TFE ? Does it mean its not properly
equilibrated ? What can I do to equilibrate it?

Thanks.

Harpreet

It is the topology problem. It seems I did it in a wrong way. Now the topology 
goes like this:

Thank you very much for your reply, Mark

It is the topology problem. It seems I did it in a wrong way. Now the 
topology goes like this:

   [ molecules ]
 ; Compound#mols
Protein_chain_A  1
Protein_chain_A21
POPC   256
This problem solved.

But then comes a new one. When I did the g_membed, the system blowed 
up after one iteration!
I think I really shouldn't ignore the warning from the grompp. 
However, as an inexper ienced user, I don't know how to improve the 
mdp file. Can you give me any hint?


Use a text editor that writes plain text. Junk nbsp; throughout 
cannot help things. As before, reporting the actual text of the warning 
is critical to working out what might be wrong.

[gmx-users] Insertion of the protein into membrane with Gmembed

2011-11-10 Thread James Starlight
Dear Gromacs Users!



I have some questions about insertion protein into membrane with Gmembed

1) I've used default parameters from gmembed manual for preparing input for
insertion

integrator = md
energygrp  = Protein
freezegrps = Protein
freezedim  = Y Y Y
energygrp_table
energygrp excl = Protein Protein

Here Protein is my protein group in topology.top


I've obtained 2 warning from gropp

WARNING 1 [file gmembed.mdp, line 27]:
  Unknown left-hand 'energygrp' in parameter file



WARNING 2 [file gmembed.mdp, line 27]:
  Unknown left-hand 'energygrp excl' in parameter file

What does it means ? If I ignore those warnings I've obtain

No energy groups defined. This is necessary for energy exclusion in the
freeze group

May be I should define freezegrps as my lipid group not a protein or use
ndx file as an alternative ?

Thanks,

James

[gmx-users] Re: mdp file problem

2011-11-10 Thread madhumita das
Dear Justin,

I could solve that perticular error but another problem has come, After
running energy minimization, the sulphur and mercury(GG)atoms (present in
the modified residue of cysteine named CYP at 182 position) break the bonds.

 Please help me.

 Hi GROMACS users,

 i am in the midst of simulating  a protein in water.  I have

 Stepsize too small, or no change in energy.
 Converged to machine precision,
 but not to the requested precision Fmax  1000

 Double precision normally gives you higher accuracy.

 writing lowest energy coordinates.

 Steepest Descents converged to machine precision in 18 steps,
 but did not reach the requested Fmax  1000.
 Potential Energy  =  9.8982703e+17
 Maximum force =inf on atom 2700
 Norm of force =  1.7474532e+19
  The mdp file is attached.

Please help.
