Dear (sorry cant read chinese),

You can find some OPLS or 53a6 Parameters on the web by doing extensive 
searches, mostly they are free, but hosted on varied individual lab web sites.  
That, or it may be easier to define some sets of bonds (angles, dihedrials, 
lengths charges, etc...from either the CRC or national institute of standards) 
for a small subset of sugars, inclusive of the inter-chain bonds, and then just 
use the defined names you gave the sugar atoms (ie Cc for sugar carbon, Pc for 
phosphorylated to sugar, etc... as inclusive this would only be several to a 
dozen atom types or somthing)(then you can post it :-))...but it might be 
easier than trying to define things based on single sugar moieties available on 
the web, as you most likely would have errors when your suger moities are large 
from the inter-sugar bonds between subunits, such as a 10-20 length 
polysacharide on a glycosylated protein.  This is less trivial than it might 
seem, but would still take a few days, and you might be able to 
 use all but say 1-2 atoms if you find several defined parameters for sugars on 
the web already...

[gmx-users] Umbrella Sampling Pull code Problem

2012-08-31 Thread Steinbrecher, Thomas (IPC)
Dear Gromacs users,

I have encountered a strange problem when trying to set up umbrella sampling 
simulations using gromacs 4.5.3.

My system contains two groups with a COM distance of 1.95 nm (all distances 
measured by g_dist). 

Trying to set up the first US window, I use the following pull code, together 
with typical mdp parameters from the Gromacs US tutorial:

; pull options
pull= umbrella
pull_geometry   = distance
pull_dim= Y Y Y
pull_start  = yes
pull_init1  = 0.00
pull_nstxout= 1
pull_nstfout= 0
pull_group0 = Protein
pull_group1 = OHM
pull_rate1  = 0.0
pull_k1 = 1


this results in a simulation in which the group distance remains close to 
1.95nm, as expected.

However, when I make the following two changes in my input file:

pull_start  = no
pull_init1  = 1.95

which should (?) amount to an equivalent setup, a very different trajectory 
results in which the COM distance quickly increases to 2.7 nm and then appears 
to be restrained there. (Visualization confirms, in the first case, the groups 
remain in their starting conformation, in the second one, they are pushed 
appart)

Interestingly, the grompp output contains the following lines:

Pull group  natoms  pbc atom  distance at start reference at t=0
   0   994   497 
   1 2 46347   1.224 1.950  


in this case. Apparently, grompp (and mdrun thereafter) calculates the group 
COM distance differently from g_dist! I think this is not a PBC issue, every 
atomic distance within both groups is smaller than half the box size and the 
pbcatoms are close together. However, when I set pbcatom0 to various atom 
numbers, different 'distance at start' values are obtained, but never the 
correct COM distance. The two groups do not have overlapping atoms. I am sure I 
used the same group indexes for pulling and distance measurements.

This behaviour is so visibly wrong that I cannot believe this is a bug and 
rather think I am doing something incorrect. A search of the list revealed a 
somewhat similar report by Gavin Melaugh in 2011 which did not resolve the 
issue.

Any ideas on what might be the problem here?

I am willing to send around files to reproduce the problem of course.

If they haven't already been derived (and thus likely published), then you'll 
have to derive them yourself in a manner consistent with the original force

Re: [gmx-users] Umbrella Sampling Pull code Problem

2012-08-31 Thread Jianguo Li

I have met similar problem before. The distance calculated by g_dist is 
different from that calculated by grommp, especially when the actual 
distance between the two groups is very small. As the actual distance 
becomes larger, the difference of the distance from the two commands becomes 
smaller. In addition, in my case, 
when using larger box size, the difference gets smaller. I don't know why, but 
you may try to use
 larger box size to minimize the difference. I am also curious of what 
is the reason.

My guess is that you should use -1.95 as pull_init1 (mind the minus
sign) and that the COM distance you measure is actually close to 2.9
nm (which is 1.95*2). g_dist measures a distance which is always
non-negative, however pull_init1 is used as a reference position so
its sign depends on the geometry of pulling.

[gmx-users] Turning off electrostatics between groups using custom tables?

2012-08-31 Thread Smitty
Hi,
I've been trying to turn off the electrostatic interaction between two
groups (an ion-group and protein) by following the tutorial on custom table
generation, but have seemed to have hit a road block.

Looking at the structure of the sample 6-12 table provided in the topology
directory, I constructed my table.xvg for interactions between the two
groups to be the following:

#r coulomb coulomb-force 1/r^6 6/ r^7 1/12 12/r^13 
00   0   0 0   0   0  
.
0.04 0  0 -2.4414062500e+08 -3.6621093750e+10  
5.9604644775e+16 1.7881393433e+19

and so on.  Noting that the second and third columns are defined as zero for
all steps, while the columns related to LJ are left unchanged.

While for the protein-protein or ion-group ion-group interactions I provide
just the standard 6-12 table. The problem comes that when I run using my
modified table, the system will run but gradually explodes. I note that when
I look back at my output from grompp I find a warning concerning eplison and
sigma being used instead of C6 and C12, but if I swap my custom table for
the sample 6-12 table (keeping the first two columns not zero) the system
doesn't explode and has dynamics similar to previous simulations making use
the built-in table generation. Any ideas on where I am going wrong? 

Here are the other specs for the simulations:
Gromacs 4.0.5, OPLS/AA, berendsen pressure/temperature coupling: tau_p =0.5,
tau_t=0.1, simulation temperature 283.

Any help is much appreciated!

[gmx-users] Re: Umbrella Sampling Pull code Problem

2012-08-31 Thread Sheeba
As Bogdan suggested this could be an issue with the sign of the distance.
When you run grompp you get 

Pull group  natoms  pbc atom  distance at start reference at t=0
   0   994   497 
   1 2 46347   1.224 1.950  

which suggests your starting structure is at 1.22 nm but it could be +/-
1.224 nm you might want to manually check the distance for your starting
structure. Gromacs restraints does not distinguish the sign of the distance
so when u started running the simulation, since you have a huge force
constant of 1 kJ/mol, the pulling group is pulled to the window distance
of 1.95 except that it could be -1.95 instead of +1.95 resulting in a COM
distance around 2.7 nm. 

I had a similar problem when I tried pulling a peptide into the bilayer with
the reference group being the center of mass of the bilayer. For the window
at 0.5 nm, my starting structure had the pull group around -0.5 nm which I
did not notice was off by 1 nm since I had used g_dist to check the
distances. However the simulations ran fine with the pullx file listing
distances around -0.5 nm. This should not ideally happen if the restraining
section of gromacs distinguishes postive and negative distances because if
it did, then the peptide would have been pulled to the window distance of
0.5 nm within the first few ps of the simulation. I used 'pull_geometry =
distance' and I think gromacs restrains the pull_group at the magnitude of
the distance although the pullx file lists negative distances. My
understanding is that it will make no difference whether you give +1.95 or
-1.95 for the pull_init1 unless your starting conformations have the
distances at +1.95 and -1.95 respectively.  

Also another problem I had with negative distances is that g_wham does not
distinguish the sign of the distances so even if the pullx file has negative
values the pmf will be given only for the magnitude of the distances which
is not what you want. 

So it will be best if you can choose a reference group such that the
distance between your pull group and the reference is always positive. For
my case I used the center of mass of the phosphate atoms in the lower
leaflet of the bilayer as the reference group to pull the peptide into the
bilayer instead of using the center of mass of the bilayer. 

The important thing is also to manually check the distance between ur pull
and ref groups for the starting structures and start from a structure very
close to the window position especially with large force constants so you
can avoid sudden pulling for the pull groups.

Please note, I used Gromacs 4.0.5 for my umbrella sampling simulations and I
am not sure if what I observed is applicable to version 4.5.3.

The warning is as follows: 

WARNING 1 [file pep_ion.top, line 1218]:
Using sigma/epsilon based combination rules with user supplied potential

list, but it appears that so long as the forces are what I expect them to

The ion group is a set of 50 dissociated ions (25 K+, 25 Cl-). The ions
under standard simulation conditions (non-custom interaction table) rarely
have K+ or Cl- atoms coming within 0.5 angstroms of any atom of the protein
group; but they do still happen. If it helps my .mdp file for the simulation
is attached.  http://gromacs.5086.n6.nabble.com/file/n5000727/md.mdp md.mdp

Re: [gmx-users] Glycoproteion MD

2012-08-31 Thread Leandro Bortot
Hi Guang,

You can use the GLYCAM force field, which has parameters for carbohydrates
and glycoproteins compatible with AMBER99.

You can get the AMBER topology and structure files directly from their web
interface, the Online Glycoprotein Builder (
http://glycam.ccrc.uga.edu/ccrc/gp/ http://glycam.ccrc.uga.edu/ccrc/),
and them convert it to .top and .gro with the acpype script. I've done it
sometimes.

I hope it is helpful for you.

best regards,
Leandro

 Dear all  I am interested in simulating a model of Glycoproteion. I
 could'nt find the define of the residue in any forcefield .rtp file of GMX.
 I am using Gromacs 4.5.5 . If any one can help me in getting forcefield
 parameters for charmm27/ OPLS/Amber99 in gromacs format please respond.
 Please suggest where else I should search for these.

  Thanking all

 Fundamentally, harmonic bonds do not serve your purpose, since you need an
 interaction that is harmonic in the change in distance, not harmonic in the
 distance. Hence your problems with collapsing systems. As such, you want to
 look at using distance restraints, rather than [bonds].


 On second thoughts, a sufficient network of harmonic bonds can suffice, but
 you need to embed the distance in the topology. [distance_restraints] are
 just easier because you can let the initial structure determine the
 equilibrium position. (Unless you don't want that)

 Hi Mohan,

 You need to check chapter 5 of the gromacs manual to understand the
 topology format to write. You probably need only to define one atom
 type and the C6/C12 parameters could probably even be set to zero. You
 need to write an [ atoms ] section, and a [ bonds ] section, according
 to the specifications in the manual.

 Cheers,

 Tsjerk

 cut-off distance. I have written a script to know the atom numbers
 falling with in cut-off distance. I replace bonds section in topology

Less than 6 Angstrom ??? You need to read the topology chapter of the

Hint: some units are wrong.

Good luck!

[gmx-users] Re: Force fields, is there a review article?

2012-08-31 Thread Ladasky
Thank you, Luca, for the link to the Ponder and Case review article.  

http://maxwell.uncc.edu/abaumket/phys6203_files/Reading/force-fields.pdf

It is indeed the kind of article I have been seeking.

 maybe one of the best thing to do is to test the FF vs experimental data 
 and check which one reproduces them better or provides more stability. 

Ah well, that won't help me.  In my case, the molecular dynamics simulations
are what will be used to justify an experimental investigation!

GROMACS uses nm as the unit of length, so this is 38 Angstroms, shouldn't be a 
problem.

It means your system is 
http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Terminology/Blowing_Up. Maybe your 
velocities are far too large for your tiny bond stiffness constants, or 
your integration step was too large, or probably a dozen other things we 
can only guess at because we don't know your initial configuration or 
your .mdp file contents. If you're just inventing stuff on your own, 
then I suggest you find an actual elastic network model of which someone 
else has already published a dynamical model, and work out how to 
implement that, instead of hoping someone will tell you how an actual 
elastic network model works. Only then do you have some basis for 
seeking to do something novel.

While for the protein-protein or ion-group ion-group interactions I provide

Ignoring warnings is a great way to waste time, and if you can't provide
specific details of what it was, you're unlikely to get specific help.

The warning is as follows:

WARNING 1 [file pep_ion.top, line 1218]:
Using sigma/epsilon based combination rules with user supplied potential
function may produce unwanted results. I've looked into this on the mailing
list, but it appears that so long as the forces are what I expect them to
using the standard tables, I should be able to ignore this warning.
Hopefully I have not misread the previous threads.


   but if I swap my custom table for
the sample 6-12 table (keeping the first two columns not zero) the system
doesn't explode and has dynamics similar to previous simulations making
use
the built-in table generation. Any ideas on where I am going wrong?

Can't tell. What's the ion group? Does it even get close to Protein?

The ion group is a set of 50 dissociated ions (25 K+, 25 Cl-). The ions
under standard simulation conditions (non-custom interaction table) rarely
have K+ or Cl- atoms coming within 0.5 angstroms of any atom of the protein
group; but they do still happen. If it helps my .mdp file for the simulation
is attached.  http://gromacs.5086.n6.nabble.com/file/n5000727/md.mdp md.mdp


1) That .mdp applies different tables to K-K, protein-protein and all 
other interactions, which isn't what you've said you've done.
2) You should follow the advice here 
http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Terminology/Thermostats
3) Your life will be simpler if you use energygrp_table only for the 
group-group interactions you want to change, and leave the default 
interactions normal. It will also be faster, because using tabulated 
interactions is much slower than the normal ones.
