[gmx-users] Free energy calculation about ions (hope Justin A. Lemkul can give some suggestions )

2012-05-09 Thread DeChang Li
Dear all,


     I want to calculate the ion solvation free energy (e.g. an ion
Na+ solvated in a water box) using Bennett Acceptance Ratio (BAR)
method, following the tutorial by Justin A. Lemkul. However, if I turn
off the Coulombic interaction, the total charge of my system would not
neutral at all. Does this affact my calculation?

It's almost certainly a bug, but the fact that no one has asked about the -trj 
option in nearly eight years suggests it's probably not a high priority to fix, 
or simply that no one ever noticed it.  In any case, genconf is not likely to be 
a suitable solution.



Please guide me wheather this command can help me to generate an aggregated
system for analyzing? If Yes, How? If No help me please?



You need trjconv, and likely several instances of it.  Complex systems like 
these require great care and potentially custom index groups.  There is a 
generic trjconv workflow here:


http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Terminology/Periodic_Boundary_Conditions#Suggested_trjconv_workflow

There are also numerous posts in the list archive regarding clustering of 
various molecules, including peptides and micelles.  The tips there will likely 
guide you, but if you need further help you'll need to provide explicit commands 
that you've tried, what they produced, and why it's not what you're after.  The 
solution is in trjconv, but without knowing what you've tried, it's hard to 
provide additional help.

If you need to "restrain positions" then you need [position_restraints].  The 
form of the restraints follows from the structure of the topology.


Also note that you cannot create bonds in a classical MD simulation.  If you 
need to maintain some distances, then use actual bonds or [distance_restraints].

Hi,

this is really a hard questions to answer. Different methods to derive
partial charges are present, which rely on various ideas. Actually, the
partial charges of a force field should be consistent, because they are
anyway just an approximation for the true charge density. Common force
fields like AMBER or OPLS-AA were constructed with different
consideration, giving rise to the differences, though they allow to
desribe the same molecules. So I would study, how the remaining
parameters of the applied force field were derived. Furthermore be aware
that altering a single charge of force field might require readaption of
dihedral and LJ parameters. Hence, always be careful and benchmark the
force field  against single as well collective static and dynamic
properties, carefully.

No, you haven't. What you've defined now are two separate molecules, when in
fact the formyl group needs to be an added moiety to your protein.

Dealing with this species can be done in one of two ways, both of which require
an .rtp file. Whether or not making a formyl .rtp entry is appropriate is up to
you based on the parameterization you have already done. I would be very
surprised if the presence of the formyl group did not change some aspect (e.g.
charges) of the amino acid to which it is connected. In this case, it is better
in my mind to create an .rtp entry for the complete formylated amino acid,
change residue and/or atom names as necessary in the .pdb file, and run the
entire structure (with the formyl group) through pdb2gmx. The general workflow
for doing all of this (in addition to information in the manual) can be found

OK, I have to build a .rtp file. But I'd like to know if I should make it 
corresponding to relation between.itp and .rtp files format?

Hi Steven

As I remember, TPI is based on the calculation of the potential at
every conformation from the already computed simulation (inserting
the particle in every snapshot), so velocities are not used.

Anyway, use both and see if there are any differences.

2. I added 1 extra water molecule to the final pdb file

3. I creaded tpi.tpr using grompp using new pdb file with extra

Thanks, Mark. I think, though, that this case is too specific for a
feature-request. I was just hoping to have an automated tool to do
this boring part.

I guess I'll just postprocess the topology with a script after it's
generated by pdb2gmx.

Good to know that this sparkled some reviewing of the code and the manual =)

Great. I looked at yesterday's build, right before the reversion and
followed some of the discussion on Gerrit.

I'll submit my suggestions to the redmine site to avoid cluttering the list.

Thanks for the help!

[gmx-users] Bonds between planar group of atoms

2012-05-09 Thread Steven Neumann
Dear Gmx Users,

My surface is made of different atoms (Fe, Na, H). I would like to create
bonds between them so the surface will be stable. Is there a command in
gromacs to create [ bonds ] and to add to your topology?
I tried to use specbond.dat but none bonds were created. It could be
manually quite time consuming.

Thank you

Re: [gmx-users] Test Particle Insertion of Water

2012-05-09 Thread Javier Cerezo

Hi Steven

As I remember, TPI is based on the calculation of the potential at every 
conformation from the already computed simulation (inserting the 
particle in every snapshot), so velocities are not used.


Anyway, use both and see if there are any differences.

Hi Justin,

I had used only  Gromos 43 a1 from initially for proteins, but i saw the -ff gmx

used the itp (topology) file from PRODRG only


Depending on which version of PRODRG you used, this approach may or may not have 
been appropriate.  I'm assuming the tutorial you followed was John Kerrigan's, 
which is several years old and relies on an older version of PRODRG.  In any 
case, unmodified PRODRG parameters are insufficiently accurate for simulations, 
in every case that I have seen.  There are better tools available, and greater 
detail in parameterization is expected.  Interpret your results with care, and 
don't be shocked if reviewers of your papers do not believe the PRODRG results.



I came accross the problem that u stated with PRODRG in the archives...
Now for this protein ligand complex i am unable to used Gromos43a1, it says
number of atoms mismatch
but that problem of mismatch is due to the itp file included in the .top file
For complexes i do add the .itp file in the .top file everytime during 
simulation...
If in case the only way to solve this problem is to make manual improvements in
the itp file
Can u please help me how to do the adjustmentsI am sorry i dont know how to
create a manual itp topology file...



Mismatch between coordinate and topology files is simply due to incorrect 
counting of molecules or failure to maintain a match between the two.  The 
solution is always the same - take greater care in bookkeeping throughout your 
workflow.  Any time the coordinate file is changed, so too must the topology. 
Some tools (genbox, genion) do this for you.  Anything else is up to you to 
verify and apply.

Re: [gmx-users] Formyl parameters

On 5/9/12 4:48 AM, Shima Arasteh wrote:


Oh my god! :-)
The situation seems going complicated! :-(
Let me explain what I'm gonna do in detail:
I have formyl residue as the N-terminus in my protein (.pdb file) ! As you know,
the topology database in CHARMM27 doesn't have formyl. So I got its parameter as
an .itp file through swissparam site. Now I need to include the parameters in
the top file. But don't know it well! I just did such as this:

1. seperating the formyl residue from my .pdb file.
2. run pdb2gmx to get top file ( for the .pdb file which doesn't have formyl )
3. include the formyl .itp file in my top file


Now please let me know if I've done correctly?



No, you haven't.  What you've defined now are two separate molecules, when in 
fact the formyl group needs to be an added moiety to your protein.


Dealing with this species can be done in one of two ways, both of which require 
an .rtp file.  Whether or not making a formyl .rtp entry is appropriate is up to 
you based on the parameterization you have already done.  I would be very 
surprised if the presence of the formyl group did not change some aspect (e.g. 
charges) of the amino acid to which it is connected.  In this case, it is better 
in my mind to create an .rtp entry for the complete formylated amino acid, 
change residue and/or atom names as necessary in the .pdb file, and run the 
entire structure (with the formyl group) through pdb2gmx.  The general workflow 
for doing all of this (in addition to information in the manual) can be found at:

[gmx-users] Test Particle Insertion of Water

2012-05-09 Thread Steven Neumann
Dear Gmx Users,

I am running TPI of the water in the system containing free amino acids.
Steps:

1. I run the NPT simulation of 100 ns to equilibrate the system.
2. I added 1 extra water molecule to the final pdb file (converted from
gro) and to topology
3. I creaded tpi.tpr using grompp using new pdb file with extra water
molecule
4. mdrun –s tpi298.tpr -rerun md298.trr -deffnm tpi298 -tpi tpi298.xvg
-tpid tpid298.xvg

My question: Is it better generate new velocities in my mdp file
(continuation = yes, gen_vel = no, tpi integrator) for a pdb file or use
velocities from previous simulations (gro file)?
If the second option is more appropriate what velocity shall I adjust to
the extra water molecule?

I will appreciate your reply.

Re: [gmx-users] Calculation of solvent and solute relaxation times

2012-05-09 Thread Erik Marklund
I think you should still have COM removal. This compensates for numerical 
errors coming from the integrator. If you remove the COM of your system the COM 
of the solute is still allowed to move, it's just that there is not net 
movement of the entire system.

Re: [gmx-users] system cooling down when runing NVE

2012-05-09 Thread Erik Marklund
In general, NVE is tricky business, since small integration errors build up and 
cause energy drift in the long run. Do you see energy drift too? In my 
experience one needs double precision and a shorter timestep than what you 
employ. But that is of course system dependent.

[gmx-users] AMBER heme parameters to simulate in GROMACS

2012-05-09 Thread J Peterson
Dear colleagues,

Has anyone run simulation with heme moiety in GROMACS with AMBER FF before?
I have a problem running it. I need the topology parameters for the heme.

Thanks
Peterson

Re: [gmx-users] Formyl parameters

2012-05-09 Thread Shima Arasteh


Oh my god! :-)

The situation seems going complicated!  :-( 

Let me explain what I'm gonna do in detail:

I have formyl residue as the N-terminus in my protein (.pdb file) ! As you 
know, the topology database in CHARMM27  doesn't have formyl. So I got its 
parameter as an .itp file through  swissparam site. Now I need to include the 
parameters in the top file. But don't know it well! I just did such as this:

1. seperating the formyl residue from my .pdb file.

2. run pdb2gmx to get top file ( for the .pdb file which doesn't have formyl )

3. include the formyl .itp file in my top file 



Now please let me know if I've done correctly?

Cheers,
Shima

The solution to the problem depends on what you need to do.  Your use of the 
term "formyl group" seems to imply that it is an adduct to some existing 
molecule, i.e. C(=O)H.  If this is correct, then you need to do one of two 
things:

1. Add the formyl group as an entry in the relevant .rtp file (using the 
parameters contained in the .itp file) so it can be used as a building block on 
its own.

2. Incorporate the parameters into an existing residue that it is modifying, 
though if this is the case you should be parameterizing a new residue rather 
than a formyl moiety.

If the "formyl group" is actually a standalone molecule, i.e. formaldehyde or 
formate, then the solution is certainly as simple as adding an #include 
statement to the .top file.  The source of the .top also depends on what you're 
doing.  It can be generated by pdb2gmx in the case of a macromolecule or it can 
be written by hand in a text editor in simple cases.

In any event, if you need further help, you need to post considerably more 
information about what you're trying to achieve.  I can probably guess a few 
more potential scenarios, but I'd rather not waste a lot of time ;)

Re: [gmx-users] Formyl parameters

2012-05-09 Thread Shima Arasteh
I have got the formyl parameters through swissparam site (http://swissparam.ch/ 
) . Then I seperate the formyl from other residues. After it , I got the 
topology for this and then I included the .itp file in it . Now I' d like to 
know how can I become sure that the formyl group is applied in simulation? 


Cheers,
Shima

What do you mean? Am I supposed to use CGenFF to derive parameters?

Where does swissparam get its parameters for charmm? and does it use custom 
atomtypes for generic molecules? I have been using CGenFF-derived parameters 
for molecules that aren't in base c36 and I think it's working well for me...

[gmx-users] Itp file problem -- Atom type not found

2012-05-09 Thread Sarath Kumar Baskaran
Hi Justin,

I had used only  Gromos 43 a1 from initially for proteins, but i saw the
-ff gmx in the Drug enzyme tutorial, so i tried using this optiion for
protein ligand comp[ex simultaitons, also the simulation was able to be
performed with -ff gmx for some ligands without the atom type not found
error. for all the ligands i used the itp (topology) file from PRODRG only
I came accross the problem that u stated with PRODRG in the archives...
Now for this protein ligand complex i am unable to used Gromos43a1, it says
number of atoms mismatch
but that problem of mismatch is due to the itp file included in the .top
file
For complexes i do add the .itp file in the .top file everytime during
simulation...
If in case the only way to solve this problem is to make manual
improvements in the itp file
Can u please help me how to do the adjustmentsI am sorry i dont know
how to create a manual itp topology file...

Thanks in advance...
