Re: [gmx-users] Re: extreme projections

2013-07-16 Thread Rashmi
Hi,

If you have VMD installed, load the extreme.pdb. Then in graphics
Representations---Trajectory--- put values in Draw Multiple Frames, for
e.g. 0:10 this will show the extremes of 0th frame to 10th frame (you can
change this a/c to your representation). After this selecting  Draw
style--- coloring method--- trajectory--- time step: this will help you
to show the deviation in frames via different coloring.

Hi Gromaxers,

Please advice me how do I do  reverse micelle simulation.

What I did is::
(1)   pdb2gmx -f RM.pdb -o RM.gro -p RM.top  step  I choose  isooctane as

where RM.pdb is  pdb file of  reverse micelle


All required files I have ,and I have index.ndx file also
But it returns :

Fatel error:
the moleculetype  SOL is redefined

I tried lots, I change the SOL to WATER every where in frocefield as well as my 
.gro file too. I tried all what I could but no get any benifit.  So



You have two topologies that define a [moleculetype] named SOL, which causes the 
error.  Likely it's somewhere in the isooctane.itp file, because you seem to be 
treating it like water above (which is unnecessary).

Index files can't specify positions, only atoms.  In this case, you don't even 
need a special index group - just use the membrane.  The pull code uses the COM 
of the selected group, so if you specify your membrane, mdrun knows to use its COM.

Like everything in Gromacs, these are just group names.  You can use either 
default groups 
(http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Terminology/Default_Index_Groups) or 
groups of your own creation.  The names specified must match either a default 
group name or a group name found in an index file.


See my umbrella sampling tutorial for examples.

The value of rvdw_switch should be 1.0 for correct usage of the force field. 
One should not seek to optimize the .mdp settings when something is crashing. 
 Fixing errors (like rvdw_switch here) is one thing, but beyond that you 
shouldn't do any adjusting.  More often than not, in a case like yours where a 
molecule in vacuo blows up, the topology is the problem.

[gmx-users] Exclude ions from spherical region

2013-07-16 Thread Joshua Adelman
I am in the process of evaluating whether Gromacs is suitable for a simulation 
that I'm planning to conduct, and I was hoping that more experienced users 
might provide insight into whether the following is possible: I want to exclude 
a subset of molecules (i.e. all but one or two ions in the system) from a 
spherical region centered at the origin using a half-harmonic restraint. In 
this setup, the ions would not feel an external force if they were a distance 
greater than R away from (0, 0, 0), and but they would be repelled from the 
excluded sphere with some appropriate force constant at distance less than R.

I looked at the distance restraint feature, which appears to have the 
capability of providing a restraint with a half-harmonic shape. I believe if I 
set r_1 from Fig 4.13 in the 4.6.3 Manual (up1) to a distance larger than the 
simulation box's extent this would get me a restraint of the correct function 
form (unless I'm missing a subtly of how it works). However, it looks like this 
must be defined between two explicit atoms, whereas I want the distance 
measured between an atom and a point in the lab frame. 

I also looked at the pull code, which appears to provide a way of measuring 
distances from the origin by leaving pull-group0 empty. This functionality, 
however, does not appear to support a flat bottom region in the restraint. 
Unless I'm mistaken, it looks like the only option is to have a standard 
harmonic restraint via the umbrella option. 

If anyone has insight into how to get the desired functionality using Gromacs. 
I would appreciate it. I have seen some suggestion on the list for a hacked in 
version of a flat-bottom potential, but I would prefer a solution that didn't 
involve modifying the code if possible.

Best wishes,
Josh

2013-07-16 Thread Dejun Lin
I have a similar question here. Can anyone tell if the Wang-Landau algorithm
in lambda space is robust in that it doesn't depend on the choice of the
convergence factor (weight-equil-wl-delta), the flatness of the histogram
(wl-ratio) and/or the frequency of trial move (nstexpanded), especially in
the case of barely overlapping energy distribution corresponding to 
different lambdas? I can imagine in the extreme case, with only 2 lambdas (
l = 1 or 0), the gap between the 2 energy distributions might be so large
such that for most of the time, trial moves from the center of
distribution 1 would frequently end up in the tail of distribution 0. In
this case, the Wang-Landau weights would be biased if there's not enough
time for the system to relax back to equilibrium.

Dear All,

I have set two bilayers:

2. 320DOPC and 80 Cardiolipin

Second one show significant curvature during NPT equilibrium and MD run
(not in NVT eq.). Is it normal?

For the first bilayer, after adding the protein to the system, here also I
can see big curvature in the membrane.
Does anybody knows is it normal or something is wrong?
Which factors do affect the membrane curvature (like: initial conf., water,
ions, box size, equilibration steps, ...)?

[gmx-users] window exchange umbrella sampling

2013-07-16 Thread Parisa Akhshi
I am trying to use Hamiltonian replica exchange as implemented in Gromacs.
The idea is to use different pulling umbrella forces and then obtain a PMF
profile. I am specifically interested in exchanging force constants between
windows.

To do a quick test, I successfully ran replica exchange in which the
temperature is exchanged. In this case, I prepared for example 8 tpr files
at 8 different temperatures and run them using

mpirun -np 8  mdrun_mpi -s prefix_.tpr -multi 8 -replex 100

And it ran just fine.

For window exchange umbrella sampling, though, I am confused with the input
preparation. I am not sure how to specify in the .mdp file how the values
of pull force should be used to define different force constants for
different replicas. Also, when submitting the job, how should I ask the
program to exchange pull forces between windows? I tried using  this:

http://lists.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-users/2011-April/060448.html

But, it gives me the error:

Fatal error:
The properties of the ... systems are all the same, there is nothing to
exchange

I noticed a previous discussion on below link:

http://gromacs.5086.x6.nabble.com/Hamiltonian-replica-exchange-umbrella-sampling-with-gmx-4-6-td5006187.html

However, I am not sure how to use the restraint-lambda parameter exactly.

Re: [gmx-users] Re: gmx 4.6.1, Expanded ensemble: weird balancing factors

2013-07-16 Thread Michael Shirts
Hi, all-

This not a problem with W-L, but is instead something that is wrong
with a particular combination of mdp options that are not working for
expanded ensemble simulations.  W-L can equilibrate to incorrect
distributions because it decreases the weights too fast (more on that
later), but that is not the problem here. The option wl-oneovert
allows switching to a slower scaling that is more likely to converge.

The reason that it is not a W-L problem is that after the WL weights
are equilibrated, it is equilibrium sampling in the expanded ensemble.
 If the W-L equilibration was a problem, then the distribution of
states would not be flat.  They are flat, so therefore the expanded
ensemble dynamics are wrong.

I have example expanded ensemble setups.

http://www.alchemistry.org/wiki/GROMACS_4.6_example:_Ethanol_solvation_with_expanded_ensemble

These mdp files should work. Note that you should be able to swap out
any top, and it will still work.  If you get CORRECT results (and it
should take just a few ns to see) with these tops, then I will go
through and try to figure out which differences are causing the
problems.

Thanks for the patience while we test this new functionality.
Frequently when one puts new code in the hands of others it breaks in
ways that were not foreseen!

Re: [gmx-users] window exchange umbrella sampling

2013-07-16 Thread Michael Shirts
You need to have different pull parameters at the end states. Right
now, pull-kB1 is not defined in your code, so there is nothing to
interpolate to: it assume pull-kB1 = pull-k1.

Longer scale -- one would want to define reference distances that
change with lambda within the same simulation, but looking over the
code, I'm not seeing anything.  One would want to add a pull_vect1B to
change the location of the restraint as a function of lambda, but this
isn't yet defined.  That should be something we look at in the future
. . .

Re: [gmx-users] Re: gmx 4.6.1, Expanded ensemble: weird balancing factors

2013-07-16 Thread Michael Shirts
That's a good question.  My understanding and experience is the
difference in required overlap in replica exchange and expanded
ensemble methods is not significant.  There are probably some more
detailed studies out there. Expanded ensemble can be somewhat more
efficient (see a paper by Park and Pande) But you really do want to
have at least 30% of the states moving each time in any case.

However, you DO need less overlap to get fairly good free energy
estimates.  I.e. the overlap for BAR to work fairly well is lower than
the what you need for good mixing.  That's more anecdotal -- I'd have
to dig a bit to get you good results on that . . .

Re: [gmx-users] Bilayer curvature

Dear All,

I have set two bilayers:
1. 400 DOPC
2. 320DOPC and 80 Cardiolipin

Second one show significant curvature during NPT equilibrium and MD run
(not in NVT eq.). Is it normal?



You could be undergoing some sort of phase transition, but in the absence of a 
lot more information, it's hard to say.  Pronounced curvature of a small patch 
of lipids sounds odd.



For the first bilayer, after adding the protein to the system, here also I
can see big curvature in the membrane.


Some proteins induce membrane curvature, but I suspect if you were working with 
one of those, you'd know that curvature is normal in those cases :)  Hydrophobic 
mismatch can play a role in perturbing lipid dynamics.



Does anybody knows is it normal or something is wrong?
Which factors do affect the membrane curvature (like: initial conf., water,
ions, box size, equilibration steps, ...)?


Force field, temperature, .mdp settings, you name it - membranes can be very 
finicky.  It would help to have:


1. Links to where you have posted illustrative images
2. What force field you're using and your .mdp
3. What protein you're working with (if you can say)

Re: [gmx-users] Re: window exchange umbrella sampling

2013-07-16 Thread Michael Shirts
Ah, this is a force field issue -- urey-bradley terms are not
supported free energy calculations. However, since only restraints are
changing, this warning doesn't really need to be there.

It would be relatively simple to put in a check to allow this to work,
but it might take a week or two to get around to it.

I'll file a redmine in the meantime, in case someone else can get to it first!

[gmx-users] extraction of PDB from clusters.pdb

2013-07-16 Thread Shine A
Sir,

Using g_cluster I clustered snapshots in md trajectory using the
command as follows

g_cluster -s sd_7.tpr -f traj7.trr -dist rmsd-distribution.xvg -o
clusters.xpm -sz cluster-sizes.xvg -tr cluster-transitions.xpm -ntr
cluster-transitions.xvg -clid cluster-id-over-time.xvg -cl clusters.pdb
-cutoff 0.25 -method gromos -dt 10

Here I got clusters.pdb having central structures in each cluster. Is there
any command line option available to extract all individual files from
clusters.pdb.

[gmx-users] TFE-water simulation

2013-07-16 Thread Archana Sonawani-Jagtap
HI,

I want to simulate helical peptide in TFE-water (1:1 vol) solvent.

1. From previous searches, I got to know that tfe.itp is present in
gmx.ff folder. Can I use this itp file by including it in my top file
generated during pdb2gmx.

2. I also got TFE-water (1:1 vol) pdb and gro pre-equilibrated system
from ATB site. I dont know if I can use either this pdb or gro file
during genbox step for -cs flag

Can anyone help me out in this regard.

Thanks in advance.
