Re: [gmx-users] System blows up

2012-01-13 Thread Guido Leoni
Dear List and Mark
I followed your suggestions equilibrating the proteins of my complex
separately. In both cases i'm able to correctly equilibrate the system and
to perform a short md of 500ps. So I suppose that when i simulate both
protein together somewhere there is a clash. Now how could I highlight the
problem? In your opinion the clash could be more probably due to solvent
molecules or to my proteins perhaps too near each other?
Thank you very much
Guido

 Dear List
 I'm newbie to gromacs (sigh). I'm simulating the interaction between two
 proteins(chrystallographic structures) following the spider toxin tutorial.
 I'm able to correctly minimize ( E1000) and equilibrate (400 ps ) the
 system. No error message appears to me and I'm quite sure that my starting
 structures have no steric clashes.
 My .mdp files are equal to the tutorial description excepted for the
 choosen timesteps (400 ps in equilibration and 1000 ps in dynamics).
 When I run the dynamic (launching gromacs with mpi) I retrieve after 7 ps
 the following error message
 2 particles communicated to PME node 3 are more than a cell length out
 of the domain decomposition cell of their charge group
 I suppose that this is due to the energy of some components that blow up.
 Please how can i check which components are responsible for  the problem?
 I'm also looking the instruction on the web site but they appear to me a
 bit cryptic. For example

 If the crash is happening relatively early (within a few steps), set
 nstxout (or nstxtcout) to 1, capturing all possible frames.  Watch the
 resulting trajectory to see which atoms/residues/molecules become unstable
 first.

 I looked the resulting trajectories of the 2 proteins with ngmx but they
 seem to be always in the box and it is impossible to graphically check the
 water molecules .


 The next piece of advice is to simplify your problem. If you can get each
 of your proteins to equilibrate on their own, then you probably have an
 atomic clash after all. If one doesn't equilibrate, then maybe your
 simulation conditions or topology is suspect.

Hi all,
I am new to the Gromacs and just started to use Gromacs for MD simulations.
I am tring to extend the simulation (protein in a box) 10 ns more. For
this, I used the following command:
grompp -f md.mdp -c md_first.gro -t md_first.cpt -p topol.top -o
md_second.tpr
mdrun 
It seems to run..
I am just wondering am I right or should I also use the tpbconv as it is

Dear all,
Guided by gmxusers' list I have used gmx_top_tools.tgz 
(http://www.gromacs.org/Downloads/User_contributions/Other_software) to prepare 
the protein-ligand complex linked by a covalent bond. Unfortunately the tool 
renumtop is detecting a duplicate atom but not updating its number. Only 
gives an error message:
; ERROR: duplicate atom label '4968' for atom #4968 (already used for atom 
#4968)

I used the command ./renumtop topol_Protein_chain_A.itp topol_Chain_B.itp.

[gmx-users] 1-4 Scaling problem of ASN-NAG from GLYCAM

2012-01-13 Thread Rashmi
Dear All,

The protein on which I am working, have few ASN residues which are N-linked
with the N-acetyl-glucosamine (NAG). I have taken the parameters of the NAG
and  N-linked ASN from the GLYCAM_06. I have added this N-linked ASN as a
new residue in aminoacids.rtp file and accordingly all the parametrs are
added in respective files. After this both pdb2gmx and grompp are working
without any error.

But the problem I am facing is related to 1-4 scaling. For the GLYCAM,
fudgeLJ and fudgeQQ should be 1. I have read the following mailing post
that how one can mix the fudgeLJ and fudgeQQ in GROMACS.

http://lists.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-users/2011-April/060839.html

In the manual, I have come across with two type of pairs function. In
function type 1, two parameters are needed and is used as default. But,
in function type 2, five parameters are needed: fudgeQQ, q_i, q_j, V(cr)
and W(cr).

So can I replace function type 1 with 2 in the pdb2gmx generated topology
for only those pairs belong to the NAG and side chains of N-linked ASN. So
that, I can use fudgeQQ of 1.0, q_i / q_j from the rtp/topology and V(cr) /
W(cr) (calculated from the sigma and epsilon using combination rule) for
those pairs. Will this give No Scaling for 1-4 pair belong to NAG and side
chains of N-linked ASN.

Or another which I found “those 1-4 pairs belong to side chains of N-linked
ASN and NAG, so I could remove them from [ pairs ] section and put into the
[ pairs_nb ] section.” Then these pairs will be treated as normal
non-bonded pairs.

Please suggest me, what I can do in this regard and which is the correct
way.

Thank you in advance.

[gmx-users] Coarse-graining and cut-offs

2012-01-13 Thread Thomas Schlesier

Dear all,
first of all, sorry to this rather conceptional question, which is not 
totally to GROMOACS related. But probably anyone of you can help.


In my simulations I use mesitylene as a solvent. In future i want to 
coarse-grain the full atomic mesitylene to an effective one-particle. 
For this i did a NPT-simulation to obtain the RDF (with regard to the 
COM of the molecules) from which i want to calculate an effective 
interaction potential by iterative boltzmann. The full-atomistic 
simulations (slovate + solvent) employed a cut-off of 1.4 nm.
At this distance (1.4 nm) the RDF shows it second minimum (RDF=0.97) and 
after 1.8 nm the RDF is around 1.0 +/- 0.15 (I got the RDF only up to a 
distance of 2.3 nm).
Now my question is how long should be the table for the effective 
potential (i.e. maximum distance for an interaction)? If i would use 1.4 
nm, i would have a jump in the interaction potential (which is normal 
due to the truncation of the cut-off). But for coulomb-interaction one 
would have PME or other stuff which would correct the artifects to some 
degree.
Or would it be better to use a long interaction table (interactions at 
longer distances) and truncate the table at a distance after 1.4 nm 
where the RDF is equal to 1?


Hope anybody can give some insight.

Greetings
Thomas

[gmx-users] Umbrella Sampling application

2012-01-13 Thread Steven Neumann
Dear Gmx Users!

I do protein-ligand simulations and I am interested in binding free energy.
My ligand is not charged molecule, there is no specific binding so hydrogen
bonding and hydrophobic interactions are responisble for binding. I have
experimental data from ITC of binding free energy.

I am wondering whether application of Umbrella Sampling would be a good
aplication. I would like to put e.g. 10 ligands around my protein (200
residues) and see which of them went into my structure deep (stronger
interaction) and then using position restrained dyunamics of my protein and
other ligands pull crucial ligand and perform windows for Umbrella Sampling
then obtaining free energy?

The second thing I would like calculate is binding free energy of the
second layer of ligands - I mean: they do aggregate one on the another,
so in this case will Umbrella Sampling can be used to pull ligand from the
another which stacked to my protein (posre of my protein and 1other
ligands)?

The third thing I am interested is chemical potential of my ligand in this
system. Can you please suggest some technique to obtain it - further
reading, tutorials?

Thank you in advance,

Steven

Antw: [gmx-users] Coarse-graining and cut-offs

2012-01-13 Thread Emanuel Peter
Hi Thomas,

Wouldn't it be an idea to smooth this tabulated potential within some range
down to zero (1.0-1.4). One could use a simple single-exponential decay in
a switch-function manner. Just one suggestion and maybe not your solution.

Bests,

Dear all,
first of all, sorry to this rather conceptional question, which is not 
totally to GROMOACS related. But probably anyone of you can help.

In my simulations I use mesitylene as a solvent. In future i want to 
coarse-grain the full atomic mesitylene to an effective one-particle. 
For this i did a NPT-simulation to obtain the RDF (with regard to the 
COM of the molecules) from which i want to calculate an effective 
interaction potential by iterative boltzmann. The full-atomistic 
simulations (slovate + solvent) employed a cut-off of 1.4 nm.
At this distance (1.4 nm) the RDF shows it second minimum (RDF=0.97) and 
after 1.8 nm the RDF is around 1.0 +/- 0.15 (I got the RDF only up to a 
distance of 2.3 nm).
Now my question is how long should be the table for the effective 
potential (i.e. maximum distance for an interaction)? If i would use 1.4 
nm, i would have a jump in the interaction potential (which is normal 
due to the truncation of the cut-off). But for coulomb-interaction one 
would have PME or other stuff which would correct the artifects to some 
degree.
Or would it be better to use a long interaction table (interactions at 
longer distances) and truncate the table at a distance after 1.4 nm 
where the RDF is equal to 1?

Hope anybody can give some insight.

Greetings
Thomas

[gmx-users] About spacing in umbrella sampling

2012-01-13 Thread vidhya sankar
Dear justin, Thanks for your previous reply


which one is reliable  to get desired spacing in umbrella sampling either from 
output of  g_dist or from  pullx.xvg?

If i choose spacing from pullx.xvg will it affect the result ? (poor  sampling 
and poor free energy calculation). 

Thanks in Advance--

They should be equivalent.

sampling and poor free energy calculation).


The only way you get a poor result is if you have insufficient overlap or poor 
sampling of the configurations in each window.

[gmx-users] average force on solute

2012-01-13 Thread Sanku M
Hi,
  I am simulating a peptide in a box of water in gromacs 4.5.4 . From the 
trajectory, I want to compute the time-averaged force acting on the peptide. 
I found g_traj tool can provide information on force upon supplying the 
traj.trr file  and g_traj help menu also suggests that using -af option one can 
get the average force on a selected group.
But, I found a problem in executing the g_traj tool to calculate the average 
force. I find that  if the .trr file do not store any coordinate ( but store 
only force), then the -af option actually do not work.

Since  I was interested in force, in my mdp output file option,I used following 
settings i.e in the .trr file I only write the force.

 Output frequency for coords (x), velocities (v) and forces (f)
nstxout                  = 0
nstvout                  = 0
nstfout                  = 5
; Output frequency for energies to log file and energy file
nstlog                   = 5
nstcalcenergy            = -1
nstenergy                = 5000
; Output frequency and precision for .xtc file
nstxtcout                = 1000
xtc_precision            = 1000

But, after running the simulation,  if I try to use g_traj to extract the 
force,using following command:
 g_traj_44 -f traj.trr -s -n  -af  -cf

I get following warning and no average force is being written:

WARNING: No coordinate frames found for option -cv or -cf

No frames found for average force, will not write force.pdb

I wonder, why one need to have coordinate stored as well to get the average 
force file or there is any other work-around for this or do I really need to 
also store coordinates in the trr file for getting the average force.


If there is any other alternatives for getting the average force, please let me 
know.

Thanks
