[gmx-users] genconf command

2012-07-16 Thread cuong nguyen
Dear Gmx-users,

I created a box size 4 4 2 and named layer.gro. Then "genconf" was
used to doulble this box:
genconf -f layer.gro -o 2layers.gro -nbox 1 1 2 -dist 0 0 8
However, the copied box has the same direction as the original box.
Could you please help me to rotate 180 degrees the copied one?

Thank you very much.

Best regards,

Cuong

This is normal (discussed often in the archives). The box is specified 
by its vectors, not by the atomic coordinates, and the triclinic box you 
can see with VMD is equivalent to what you chose (e.g. a 2D tiling with 
hexagons can be represented as a 2D tiling of rhombuses). You can see 
trjconv -h about -ur to change the coordinates for visualization purposes.

Why do you even need InflateGRO?  Is there some reason CHARMM-GUI produces an 
unsatisfactory result?  I thought that it could produce membrane protein 
systems, in which case you don't need to do anything.


Unfortunately, at this point, it's impossible to know what's going wrong.  There 
are too many weird things going on, none of which should be happening with a 
sensible input.  A few things to consider:


1. What are the box vectors in the .gro file produced by pdb2gmx?
2. Are the water molecules named properly?  InflateGRO expects them to be named 
SOL in order to work.

The output you want is contained in the .xpm file produced with the -hbm flag,

The tutorial is a very simple system designed to get users familiar with a 
basic workflow.  There are more elegant ways of doing umbrella sampling for 
more complicated systems.  Cylindrical restraints can be useful in some cases 
and are discussed in the manual.  Without knowing more about the system you're 
considering, it's hard to provide specific advice.

Re: [gmx-users] Positions and velocities from trajectory for restart

2012-07-16 Thread Justin Lemkul



On 7/16/12 7:19 AM, Inon Sharony wrote:

Good afternoon.

g_traj has the option to output position coordinates (-ox) OR velocity
coordinates (-ox) from an input trajectory file. The former can even be
output to a trajectory file format, trr/trj/cpt (-oxt). I would like to
restart a simulation using a separate set of MD parameters (mdp) from the
phase-space point in a given time frame of a previous trajectory. I need
BOTH position and velocity coordinates to fully reproduce the system in
phase-space. Non of the above cited options suffice, since they give me
only one of the two (positions OR velocities) but not both.

Ideally, I would like to use something like

g_traj -f traj-old -s topol -b $t_init -e $t_final -ot traj-new -fp

To create a new trajectory file "traj-new.trr" which contains both
positions and velocities which appear in "traj-old.trr" between
time-frames $t_init and $t_final (this could be only one time-frame),
where the currently non-existent g_traj option "-ot" outputs both
positions and velocities from one trajectory to another. Is there a way to
do this now? If not, could you possibly implement such an option?



The -ot option is not non-existent, it's just unrelated to what you want to do, 
and it does not write a trajectory.


"Option -ot plots the temperature of each group, provided velocities are
present in the trajectory file. No corrections are made for constrained
degrees of freedom! This implies -com."


From the GMX website I understand that re-starting simulations is being
pushed towards using checkpoint (cpt) files rather than trr. However, when
I tried to see if the velocities get copied to the cpt file, I got:

$ echo 0 | g_traj_d -f traj.trr -s topol.tpr -oxt traj.cpt -fp

\001\001 "Source code file: trxio.c, line: 269
\001\001 Fatal error: Sorry, write_trxframe_indexed can not write cpt"



Does the -oxt option work to produce a .trr file?  If you just want individual 
states from which to continue the simulation, you don't need g_traj at all. 
Just use trjconv -dump to drop out individual frames from the .trr file, which 
will contain coordinates and velocities present in the .trr file.

[gmx-users] RE: נושא: RE: Discontinuity in first time-step velocities for diatomic molecule locally coupled to thermal drain

2012-07-16 Thread Inon Sharony
I thought setting tau_t=0 for some of the groups means that they're not
coupled. That is tau_t would in fact be infinite, but that would be more
difficult to input, whereas if tau_t were actually equal to zero the
situation (as you described it) would lack physical significance...
Since only the Nose-Hoover thermostat gave me any trouble with setting
tau_t=0, I thought this was already set as described above for all other
thermostats (not including the SD thermal-coupling scheme).
This was addressed in the past by Mark, David, you and myself :

http://gromacs.5086.n6.nabble.com/SD-temperature-coupling-groups-tp4388610p4388614.html

And also:

If my system is [ 0 1 ], my t coupl grps are [ 0 1 ] (i.e. diatomic,
thermal-coupling group for each atom), and I want to tell GMX to thermally
couple atom 1 with tau_t=1ps and NOT couple atom 0 at all:
How would I do so in v-rescale?
How would I do so in Nose-Hoover?
How would I do so in SD?

[gmx-users] Positions and velocities from trajectory for restart

2012-07-16 Thread Inon Sharony
   Good afternoon.

   g_traj has the option to output position coordinates (-ox) OR velocity
   coordinates (-ox) from an input trajectory file. The former can even be
   output to a trajectory file format, trr/trj/cpt (-oxt). I would like to
   restart a simulation using a separate set of MD parameters (mdp) from the
   phase-space point in a given time frame of a previous trajectory. I need
   BOTH position and velocity coordinates to fully reproduce the system in
   phase-space. Non of the above cited options suffice, since they give me
   only one of the two (positions OR velocities) but not both.

   Ideally, I would like to use something like

   g_traj -f traj-old -s topol -b $t_init -e $t_final -ot traj-new -fp

   To create a new trajectory file "traj-new.trr" which contains both
   positions and velocities which appear in "traj-old.trr" between
   time-frames $t_init and $t_final (this could be only one time-frame),
   where the currently non-existent g_traj option "-ot" outputs both
   positions and velocities from one trajectory to another. Is there a way to
   do this now? If not, could you possibly implement such an option?

   From the GMX website I understand that re-starting simulations is being
   pushed towards using checkpoint (cpt) files rather than trr. However, when
   I tried to see if the velocities get copied to the cpt file, I got:

   $ echo 0 | g_traj_d -f traj.trr -s topol.tpr -oxt traj.cpt -fp

   \001\001 "Source code file: trxio.c, line: 269
   \001\001 Fatal error: Sorry, write_trxframe_indexed can not write cpt"

The initial equilibration can be approached in a number of ways that includes 
restraining both the protein and ligand or one or the other.  Restraints are 
only intended to avoid large structural changes due to reorganization of the 
solvent.  Thus you may choose to restrain the whole complex initially and then 
reduce or remove the restraints over the course of further equilibration.  There 
are no hard and fast rules.  Look into the literature and see what others 
recommend, and evaluate for yourself whether or not such a protocol is 
reasonable in your case.
