[gmx-users] sampling the side chain conformations by MD simulations

2012-04-22 Thread mircial
Dear All:

I am conducting molecular dynamics simulations of a proetin. The side chain 
conformation of one key residue is important for the protein function and I 
wang to sampling its conformations and calculate the energy barrier when it 
changes between different conformations. 

However, the common MD simulations can't sampling all of its conformations 
(maybe the energy barrier between different conformations is high?) and I want 
to enhance the sampling process. My question is does it possible to use high 
temperature for this residue and normal temperature for the other part of the 
system so that I can sample more conformations in relative short time?

I know locally enhanced sampling method maybe useful in this situation, but it 
seemed that it is not implemented in the GMX package.

I will be appraciate if anyone could give me some suggestions.

[gmx-users] PDB2GMX error in charmm27 Forcefield

2012-04-22 Thread sai nitin
Hi all,

Im using Charmm27 Forcefield to generate  topology of my protein by using
PDB2GMX tool but is showing

Fatal Error
Atom OG is used in an interaction of type atom in the topology
database, but an atom of that name was not found in residue

No. We don't know your pdb2gmx command line or what is in your system or

more likely your protein is missing a side chain.

 The difference in my
 
 g_select -s molecule_in_water.pdb -select 'Close to ISO resname SOL and 
 within 0.5 of group ISO'
 
 and your
 
 g_select -s molecule_in_water.pdb -select 'Close to ISO resname SOL and 
 within 0.5 of resname ISO'
 
 is, that the last ISO is not in quotation marks. Could you please explain?
 

There is a much greater difference.  The first command uses 'group ISO' which 
assumes that there is a group (either generated by default or present in a 
supplied index file) named ISO.  Apparently this is not the case.  What I 
used was 'resname ISO' which is generic syntax for any residue name that I like 
(i.e., not a group).  You can use it with any residue name in the structure.

 With your command I got this time no error but I got other stuff that I don't 
 understand:
 
 1.)
 I got this warnings:
 
 WARNING: masses and atomic (Van der Waals) radii will be determined
          based on residue and atom names. These numbers can deviate
          from the correct mass and radius of the atom type.
 
 
 WARNING: if there are broken molecules in the trajectory file,
          they can not be made whole without a run input file
 
 Can I ignore this or is this serious?
 

These are probably not important.  They are generic warnings that many Gromacs 
programs will produce if they are run without a .tpr file.

 2.)
 My output is one file called size.xvg. It contains
 
 # This file was created Sat Apr 14 16:55:56 2012
 # by the following command:
 # g_select -s molecule_in_water.pdb -select Close to ISO resname SOL and

 What is the interpretation of this? What I need is a new pdb. file that has 
 to contain only the molecule ISO and the water layer SOL around it. Is this 
 possible with g_select?
 

If you do not specify any output file, the default is this .xvg file that tells 
you how many atoms satisfied the criterion specified in the selection string. 
If you want a coordinate file, it's a two-step process.

1. Run g_select using the -on flag to produce an output index file of the atoms 
that satisfy your criterion.

2. Use trjconv with that index file in and your coordinate file to generate the

 The above command assumes ISO is a default group, like Protein or 
 something else.  You can make selections based on any arbitrary residue name 
 with something like the following:
 
 g_select -s molecule_in_water.pdb -select 'Close to ISO resname SOL and

 Does that work?

If you do not specify any other options, trjconv (like all Gromacs programs) 
searches for default file names (listed in the manual and/or the help

[gmx-users] Radial distribution function (RDF) in cylindrical coordinates

2012-04-22 Thread Andrew DeYoung
Hi,

I have a system that is effectively two-dimensional.  I have two parallel
plates, which are each parallel to the xy plane.  Thus, I have what I think
one would call slab geometry.

Since my system is clearly not isotropic, it does not make sense to compute
radial distribution functions in the standard way (i.e., considering a
sphere around the atom/molecule of interest).  Do you know if it is possible
to compute radial distribution functions in cylindrical coordinates?

In the documentation for g_rdf, there is a switch -[no]xy which by default
is set to no.  This switch is described as Use only the x and y
components of the distance.  Am I correct in understanding that -xy is
effectively computing the RDF in cylindrical coordinates?  I guess this
would mean that, for every atom/molecule of interest, you would consider a
cylinder whose axis is parallel to the z axis (and the z axis is
perpendicular to the plates, which are parallel to the xy plane). 

Basically, my question is the same as that asked here:
http://lists.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-users/2009-April/041475.html ,
although it doesn't seem that that post was resolved.  

Thank you!

When the -xy option is enabled, PBC is turned off in the z-dimension and

[gmx-users] g_rdf -surf -rdf res_com: details needed

2012-04-22 Thread jneeraj
Hello,
I wish to compute rdf of Na+ ions around protein surface. I use the command:
g_rdf -f traj.xtc -n index.ndx -o rdf_prot_Na_res_com.xvg -b 4 -s md.tpr
-surf mol -rdf res_com -bin 0.01

Since when -surf option is used, g_rdf does not normalize the rdf, I am
curious what does actually g_rdf reports in the output .xvg file? If we
refer to the Eq. (8.3) of gromacs_manual.pdf, which of the following value
gets reported in the output file:
1) \sum_{1,N_B} (\delta(r_{i,j}-r)) 
2) \sum_{1,N_B} (\delta(r_{i,j}-r)) / (4*pi*r^2)
3) \sum_{1,N_B} (\delta(r_{i,j}-r)) / (4*pi*r^2) / N_A

My hunch is that g_rdf -surf reports value calculated by Eq. 1 since
computing the term (4*pi*r^2) for an irregular surface is very complex.
Please advise ?

My second question is regarding the value of r_max. In the manual, it's
reported: Usually the value of rmax is half of the box length. When I
compute rdf using g_rdf -surf option, the value of maximum r is indeed half
the box length. However, I think the value of r_max, when -surf is used,
should be considerably less than the (box length)/2. If I am right, in this
case, r is the distance from the surface of the protein and not from the
center of the protein. Hence, r_max should be around the length of solvent
padding from protein surface. 

Thanks,
Neeraj

  No, there is no ability to ignore them selectively - but  
if you want to ignore any of them, you have to address the  
heme hydrogen database issue, or go and remove the  hydrogen atoms 
that you wish to ignore from your input  coordinate file.
  
  

 
  One of my colleagues suggested to treat the Heme  
as an ligand not as a part of the protein to solve  
this issue. How would that really affect the  accuracy 
of the simulation?

  
  
  It's not a question of accuracy, but rather that if you   
   have bonded interactions between heme and protein, they  have to 
be part of the same [moleculetype], which is what  pdb2gmx is 
struggling to generate.

That's good to say (particularly the first time

get told to go and read), but is unlikely to get
much help because you haven't identified aspecific 
problem. You'd like the ability tobuild hydrogen atoms

Since that step introduces other problems, maybe the suggestion wasn't 
the best approach. Identifying the real problem may lead to a better 
solution than trouble-shooting an issue that arose from a suggested

to ignore I actually need to ignore the hydorgens in protein.


Maybe. Depends on the original problem. Chopping out just a subset of 
hydrogens with a text editor, leaving heme alone, solves a class of 
problems simply without needing to use the brute-force -ign and 
rebuild approach.

Dear Abraham,

How would it work if I remove the hydrogen atoms that I wish to 
ignore from my input co-ordinate file? The pdb2gmx tries to add the 
missing hydorgen atoms for which the .hdb doesn't have information.


You've never actually told us what hydrogens you want to ignore, so 
you're making it hard to help you.


Mark



In my case here, I can consider heme as a ligand instead of having it 
as protein since it doesn't need to be the part of the protein.


Thanks for your information.

Dear Abraham,

I am ignoring hydrogens for the protein residues since I am not sure 
if the Gromacs has an option to ignore hydrogen only for pretein 
residues but not for the heme complexed with it.


No, there is no ability to ignore them selectively - but if you want 
to ignore any of them, you have to address the heme hydrogen database 
issue, or go and remove the hydrogen atoms that you wish to ignore 
from your input coordinate file.




One of my colleagues suggested to treat the Heme as an ligand not as 
a part of the protein to solve this issue. How would that really 
affect the accuracy of the simulation?


It's not a question of accuracy, but rather that if you have bonded 
interactions between heme and protein, they have to be part of the 
same [moleculetype], which is what pdb2gmx is struggling to generate.

Dear Abraham,

Thanks for your email. I have already read the manual to solve the 
problem but I wasn't successful.


That's good to say (particularly the first time you post a request 
for help, else you'll just get told to go and read), but is unlikely 
to get much help because you haven't identified a specific problem. 
You'd like the ability to build hydrogen atoms on a heme residue. 
pdb2gmx has to have a specific recipe for doing that. The manual 
describes the required format and gives an example. Someone's going 
to have to do some work.




I need little more detailed answer to solve the problem.

By the way, here is the full command line for which I got the error.

$ pdb2gmx -f CYP.pdb -o CYP_CHARMM.pdb -p CYP1_CHARMM.top -i 
CYP_CHARMM.itp -ignh


If you don't ignore hydrogens, and they're already correct, you 
don't need to re-generate them...

The error is

WARNING: atom HA is missing in residue HEM 513 in the pdb file
 You might need to add atom HA to the hydrogen database of 
building block HEME

 in the file aminoacids.hdb (see the manual)

[gmx-users] grompp error

2012-04-22 Thread Nilesh Dhumal
Hello,



I am doing solvation dynamics for my system.


 When I am running grompp command I get  the error.

grompp -f md.mdp  -c  solvent-bmi-pf6-128.pdb   -p 
solvent-bmi-pf6-128.top  -o md-rerun.tpr


Fatal error:
No such combination rule 0

I using Gromacs VERSION 4.0.5.


What this error means?

Thanks

NIlesh

It means what it says - your force field (presumably a custom one) is using an 
invalid combination rule.  See manual section 5.3.3 for valid options, then 
check the [defaults] directive for your force field and amend appropriately.
