Re: [gmx-users] Energy minimization
Dears, I changed the coordinates of overlapping atoms and got a normal potential energy. Then when I go to the next step ( NVT equilibrium ), it doesn't run and I just get some pdb files. How is it possible to find the problem? It might be clashes in the system but How can I find the overlapping atoms and the reason of clashe among a vast number of atoms?

The concept is the same, but the actual information will be very different. As I recall, there are OPLS-AA lipid parameters somewhere out there, but I've never used them personally. One can also implement a hybrid approach wherein the Berger lipids can be made compatible with OPLS-AA. There's a link to that method in my tutorial and it has been discussed on the mailing list at length. For what it's worth, the helical instability is almost certainly due to the use of 53A6, which is known to over-stabilize extended configurations and under-stabilize helices. -Justin -- Justin A.

[gmx-users] virtual site generation for backbone hydrogen
Hi all, I try to generate a topology using pdb2gmx of a protein that contains a non-native amino acid, that is lysine with some more atoms, which is treated a one amino acid RETK. Without vsites, everything works fine. With pdb2gmx -vsite hydrogen, a constraint is generated between the backbone CA and H (that gives an error later grompp since the constraint type CT-H is not defined). [ atoms ] ... 3603 H216 RETK H 3241 0.2747 1.008 3604 CT216 RETK CA 3242 -0.24 13.018 [ constraints ] 3603 3604 2 If the non-native aa is replaced by a LYS, pdb2gmx generates instead: [ virtual_sites3 ] 3603 3602 3600 3604 2 I now wonder how to tell pdb2gmx that RETK should be treated as any other amino acid, that is that the backbone-H should be turned into a virtual_site3. I have already added RETK into residuetypes.dat, and there are entries in the rtp and hdb.

Hi Albert, Thanks for the testing. Last questions. - What version are you using? Is it beta2 release or latest git? if it's the former, getting the latest git might help if... - (do) you happen to be using GMX_GPU_ACCELERATION=None (you shouldn't!)? A bug triggered only with this setting has been fixed recently. If the above doesn't help, please file a bug report and attach a tpr so we can reproduce.

[gmx-users] Actual box size
Hi, I want to simulate a water soluble protein of approx. 160aa size and its shape from a .pdb looks a little elongated (if rotated around the longest axis, it roughly occupies a cylinder with length to diameter ratio 1.8 - 1.9). Would it be considered globular enough to try dodecahedron box? Out of curiosity, I compared the triclinic and dodecahedral boxes created for my protein. After I created a triclinic box with g_editconf, I got this: Read 2406 atoms Volume: 83.8247 nm^3, corresponds to roughly 37700 electrons No velocities found system size : 4.830 3.541 4.901 (nm) center : 19.439-14.327 13.948 (nm) box vectors : 4.830 3.541 4.901 (nm) box angles : 90.00 90.00 90.00 (degrees) box volume : 83.82 (nm^3) shift :-16.024 17.097-10.498 (nm) new center : 3.415 2.771 3.451 (nm) new box vectors : 6.830 5.541 6.901 (nm) new box angles : 90.00 90.00 90.00 (degrees) new box volume : 261.17 (nm^3) Dodecahedron: Volume: 83.8247 nm^3, corresponds to roughly 37700 electrons No velocities found system size : 4.830 3.541 4.901 (nm) diameter: 5.907 (nm) center : 19.439-14.327 13.948 (nm) box vectors : 4.830 3.541 4.901 (nm) box angles : 90.00 90.00 90.00 (degrees) box volume : 83.82 (nm^3) shift :-13.508 20.257-11.153 (nm) new center : 5.931 5.931 2.796 (nm) new box vectors : 7.907 7.907 7.907 (nm) new box angles : 60.00 60.00 90.00 (degrees) new box volume : 349.61 (nm^3) So from the box volumes I see that in this case a triclinic box is a preferred choice. However, as I am aware that dodecahedral box representation (as seen in VMD for example) is subject to periodicity effects, I am not completely sure if exactly these box sizes will be used in simulations. If not, how could I estimate the actual box volumes before I start simulation (to maximize performance)? And I have one more short question: Is it possible somehow to visualize the actual dodecahedral box at this stage (i.e. right after adding water, having no trajectory file yet)? Thank you. -- View this message in context: http://gromacs.5086.n6.nabble.com/Actual-box-size-tp5003850.html Sent from the GROMACS Users Forum mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- gmx-users mailing listgmx-users@gromacs.org http://lists.gromacs.org/mailman/listinfo/gmx-users * Please search the archive at http://www.gromacs.org/Support/Mailing_Lists/Search before posting! * Please don't post (un)subscribe requests to the list.

Would it be considered globular enough to try dodecahedron box? In almost all cases, a dodecahedral box is the optimal choice. A cubic box with the same periodic distance for an elongated protein would be much larger. Out of curiosity, I compared the triclinic and dodecahedral boxes created for my protein. After I created a triclinic box with g_editconf, I got this: Read 2406 atoms Volume: 83.8247 nm^3, corresponds to roughly 37700 electrons No velocities found system size : 4.830 3.541 4.901 (nm) center : 19.439-14.327 13.948 (nm) box vectors : 4.830 3.541 4.901 (nm) box angles : 90.00 90.00 90.00 (degrees) box volume : 83.82 (nm^3) shift :-16.024 17.097-10.498 (nm) new center : 3.415 2.771 3.451 (nm) new box vectors : 6.830 5.541 6.901 (nm) new box angles : 90.00 90.00 90.00 (degrees) new box volume : 261.17 (nm^3) Dodecahedron: Volume: 83.8247 nm^3, corresponds to roughly 37700 electrons No velocities found system size : 4.830 3.541 4.901 (nm) diameter: 5.907 (nm) center : 19.439-14.327 13.948 (nm) box vectors : 4.830 3.541 4.901 (nm) box angles : 90.00 90.00 90.00 (degrees) box volume : 83.82 (nm^3) shift :-13.508 20.257-11.153 (nm) new center : 5.931 5.931 2.796 (nm) new box vectors : 7.907 7.907 7.907 (nm) new box angles : 60.00 60.00 90.00 (degrees) new box volume : 349.61 (nm^3) In the absence of the actual editconf commands, it's hard to judge the utility of each of these setups. So from the box volumes I see that in this case a triclinic box is a preferred choice. However, as I am aware that dodecahedral box representation (as seen in VMD for example) is subject to periodicity effects, I am not completely sure if exactly these box sizes will be used in simulations. If not, how could I estimate the actual box volumes before I start simulation (to maximize performance)? The box vectors shown are the ones that will be used unless you manipulate them in some way. And I have one more short question: Is it possible somehow to visualize the actual dodecahedral box at this stage (i.e. right after adding water, having no trajectory file yet)? You need a .tpr file and can re-wrap the periodic image with trjconv -pbc mol -ur compact. -Justin -- Justin A.

Might be worth reporting a bug and seeing what the maintainers say. The presence of the printed warning indicates it's not a bug: t = 239.934 ps: Water molecule starting at atom 75561 can not be settled. Check for bad contacts and/or reduce the timestep. Wrote pdb files with previous and current coordinates Whenever this happens, the integration is failing. Perhaps the seg fault isn't elegant, but I don't know if it's unavoidable or not. When the constraints fail, typically molecules are careening across the system with (approaching) infinite velocity and/or coordinates. There are various environment variables to allow more leeway when this happens and/or suppress coordinate dumping, but they're rarely used because this is not something one should usually try to blindly circumvent. In 99.% of cases (rough guess ;), this is a failure due to instability caused by insufficient minimization/equilibration, bad topology, or unstable run settings and not a bug. -Justin -- Justin A.
