[gmx-users] Re: how modify the forcefield amino acid definitions for non-naturally occuring amino acids?

2012-03-04 Thread Kirill Bessonov
Thank you Justin for your prompt reply, as usual :)

With the last 2 lines of my previous post, I was referring on how to build
*.itp files for completely new molecules (say lipids such as DMPC, DMPE
or glutathione) that are not defined in the forcefield. I.e. how to derive
dihedral angle code, force constant, etc. so that this new molecules could
be used in the simulation. I.e. how to build your own *.itp and *.top
files. Or better said, how the parameters for already defined molecules in
the forcefield, such as amino-acids and ions were created? Where can we get
more information about this ins and outs of building your own topologies?
Maybe there are some good references that you can refer me?

Re: [gmx-users] Re: Test particle insertion extra coordinate

2012-03-04 Thread João M . Damas
The error is correct. After inspecting the code, the extra coordinate
(coordinate of the cavity) is taken from the last atom of the trajectory
(rerun_fr.x) and not from the .tpr file (mdatoms). This is weird, but
allows different cavities for different frames I guess...

I am guessing you can add the extra coordinate (cavity coordinate) to each
frame. You just need to convert from a binary version (.xtc, .trr) to a
ascii version (.gro, .g96), add the coordinate, convert back to binary
(optional, but saves space), and make the rerun over this. Be _careful_
with the conversions not to screw the original trajectory.

Plus, with this, there is no need for topology mambo-jambos (calling CL- to
the cavity location, etc).

I did not remember this because I hacked the code and I bypass that part,
giving the extra coordinate (cavity) through a variable.

I hope this solves your problem.

Best,
João

Thanks a lot for the reply! I did as you said. I had a coordinate file where
I wanted to add insert a water molecule withing a cavity. I added these
lines to the .gro file:
  340SOL OW 1274   2.925   0.061   2.677  0.2533 -0.1222  0.1294

  341INS   X 2036   0.000   0.000   1.000  0.  0.  0.
I realize I still neeed to center the water molecule, but I am testing now.
To make grompp work, I added a line in the .top file and called the last
coordinate a CL- atom. I then can do grompp. But when I do mdrun -rerun, I
get this error:
Fatal error:
Number of atoms in trajectory (2032) minus one is not equal the number in
the run input file (2036) minus the number of atoms to insert (1)
The math here seems to imply that the extra atom belongs in the trajectory
rather than the tpr file, and also, it now thinks I'm inserting a CL- atom
instead of water.

Re: [gmx-users] Re: Test particle insertion extra coordinate

2012-03-04 Thread João M . Damas
Hello MPID (?),

Sorry, I did not see your first message.

For the tpic algorithm, the coordinate of insertion is the last coordinate
(after the particle to be inserted) in the .tpr you give for the mdrun
-rerun. Hence, you should create a structure file (.gro) with the original
system, followed by the particle to be inserted, and lastly, the coordinate
of insertion. Run this structure file through grompp to generate a .tpr
file, which you shall give to mdrun.

I hope this has helped.

Best,
João

Re: [gmx-users] Amber99bsc0

It is possible but not yet included in Gromacs. As far as I know, there 
are several people working on porting this forcefield to Gromacs (I have 
been searching for this myself last year).
Check the archives for parmbsc0 and Gromacs and search for papers that 
include these terms. then you will find some of them. Maybe they will 
help you if you ask kindly.


As an alternative, you can try using ACPYPE.

You can use PRO as a framework, but you'll likely have to define completely new

normal biomolecules, so likely the force field cannot handle it without 
modification.

Therefore, gd_1 is the type code, 180.000 is the force constant, 2.67 is the

is its example usage in terms of standard atom types/functional groups.


corresponding atoms referred by atom names in the final structure as the

The atom names used are standard nomenclature for amino acids.

There is only one polar H in TPO.  Read the .rtp entry for TPO - it states that 
it is the -2 form of the phosphorylated residue.  The HG1 atom connected to OG1 
is removed with the formation of a phosphoester in the modified sidechain.  TPOH 
is the -1 form of the phosphate and thus there is a proton on the phosphate group.

[gmx-users] Advice on High Precision Structure File Formats

2012-03-04 Thread Andrew DeYoung
Hi,

If you have time, I would be grateful for any advice you have about which
structure file format that I should use.  I am attempting to create a carbon
nanotube.  However, the carbon-carbon bond length that I would like to use
is 0.1415 nm, which means that I would like a structure file format that can
take positions up to accuracies of at least 0.0001 nm.  

Unfortunately, the .gro file format only accepts positions up to accuracies
of 0.001 nm.  This means that if I use .gro, I will need to round the
carbon-carbon bond length to 0.142 nm or 0.141 nm, which I would prefer not
to do.  

Now, I know that the Gromacs code itself uses many more decimal places
internally for running MD (single precision give a lot of decimal places and
double precision gives even more).  I think this means that if I specify the
carbon-carbon bond length in my topology as 0.1415 nm in [ bonds ] (and the
.itp file format, and others, allow this type of precision) then even if I
must use 0.142 nm in my starting configuration .gro file, the bond lengths
will equilibrate to ~0.1415 nm if I run a short simulation (given that the
Gromacs code internally uses high precision).

Yet, what if I need my starting configuration to have high precision bond
lengths (0.1415 nm)?  I plan to freeze the carbon atoms using a freeze
group, and it would be easiest if I could do this from the get-go (i.e.,
without running equilibration in which the carbon atoms are unfrozen).

Do you have any advice about which file format I should use?  I need not be
"constrained" by .gro
(http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/File_Formats/Coordinate_File#On_the_ne
ed_for_a_.gro_file).

.pdb, it seems
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_Data_Bank_(file_format)#Example),
gives position precision up to 0.001 ANGSTROM (or 0.0001 nm), which means
.pdb will give me just enough precision.  Or should I instead write my
starting configuration in a .g96 file, which allows very high position
precision?  However, other than
http://manual.gromacs.org/current/online/g96.html, I am having some
difficulty (even with Google) locating detailed information about the .g96
file format.  Unfortunately, my institution I do not think has a GROMOS-96
license, so I cannot access its manual.

Between .pdb and .g96, which would you recommend?  Or is there any other
structure file format that I am not thinking of?

Thanks so much.

[gmx-users] Re: Gromacs-GPU benchmark test killed after exhausting the memory

2012-03-04 Thread Efrat Exlrod
Hi Szilard, 

Thanks for your reply. 
I used your script and I think it does look as a memory leak. Please look at 
the attached runchkmem.out
Is it possible this problem exists in version 4.5.5 and was solved in version 
4.6 you are using?
When will version 4.6 be released?

Thanks, Efrat

It depends on your system and GROMACS version. See 
http://www.gromacs.org/Downloads/Installation_Instructions#Getting_access_to_GROMACS_after_installation 
and pdb2gmx -h.
