[gmx-users] Re: Using CHARMM 36 for DPPC simulation
Hi Everyone, I did another simulation where i found the the DPPC area per lipid is 0.61 nm^2 . Is this acceptable ? I have seen issues like this on the mailing list before can one of the experts give me some hints.

I have no idea how to properly simulate a line of positively-charged particles, but be aware. Thanks for the pointer and the awareness remark.

Re: [gmx-users] Re: local pressure v4.5 issues
Hi all, I am trying to figure out a way to port tpr files (which has CHARMM FF) from v4.5 to v4.0.2. This is because i want to use the localpressure calculation which works only in version 4.0.2. When i issue the following command i get grompp_v4.0.2_lp -v -c traj0.gro -o npt_4.0 -p system.top -f rerun.mdp I get the following error * * Program grompp_v4.0.2_lp, VERSION 4.0.2_localpressure Source code file: topdirs.c, line: 118 Fatal error: Invalid dihedral type 9 I think dihedral type 9 is not defined until version 4.0.7.

Re: [gmx-users] Why does the -append option exist?
Well sometimes i run out of walltime when doing long simulations and append helps me not to do any file management after restarting simulations from the previous checkpoint. On Fri, Jun 3, 2011 at 3:26 PM, Dimitar Pachov dpac...@brandeis.edu wrote: At first, I thought the -append option of the mdrun command was great. However, I don't think it is anymore and have actually started questioning myself why it exists at the first place, and second, why has it become the default option in the newest versions? It is useless unless you run your simulations in a 100% safe from any unexpected problems (hardware, restarts, etc) mode, which is never the case. It is beyond me how such an option can become the default and how a statement like this: By default the output will be appending to the existing output files. The checkpoint file contains checksums of all output files, such that *you will never loose data when some output files are modified, corrupt or removed.* can be claimed without testing ALL of the scenarios that can lead to problems, that is, lost data. If one uses that option and the run is restarted and is again restarted before reaching the point of attempting to write a file, then things are lost, and most importantly, the most important piece of data, that being the trajectory file, could be completely lost! I don't know the code behind the checkpointing appending, but I can see how easy one can overwrite 100ns trajectories, for example, and obtain the same trajectories of size 0. Two restarts within a time frame where trajectory file is updated doesnt make sense. I really dont understand how you can loose trajectory files. Using the checkpoint capability appending make sense when many restarts are expected, but unfortunately it is exactly then when these options completely fail! How ? As a new user of Gromacs, I must say I am disappointed, and would like to obtain an explanation of why the usage of these options is clearly stated to be safe when it is not, and why the append option is the default, and why at least a single warning has not been posted anywhere in the docs manuals? Use -noappend Thanks, Dimitar -- 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!

[gmx-users] spurious forces while doing pulling simulation
Hi all, I am trying to do pulling simulation. Following are the pull parameters pull = umbrella pull_geometry = direction pull_vec1 = 0 0 1 pull_group1 = RNA pull_rate1 = 0.01 pull_k1 = 1000 pull_start = yes Everything works fine until the pull group COM reaches half the box length. The COM position changes by the box length and that causes huge force on the group. What should i do to fix this ? Also i am using NPT coupling.

Re: [gmx-users] spurious forces while doing pulling simulation
Yes Justin i understand that. Heres what i think is going on I dont have any reference group. Now the COM distance is calculated wrt the origin and whenever the COM is more than half of the box its causing problem.

Re: [gmx-users] trjconv with multiple chains
Make your box bigger? 2011/1/6 yuanyuan wang yilin3...@126.com dear all, I am doing a simulation that have many chains in a box , and I can find a center for them after serval tries. I use almost every option of trjconv,-pbc mol,atom,res,whole,nojump , -ur compact, -center , -box to got bigger box, and -boxcenter, -fit .. still some chain cannot convert into box. them jump from one box to another , is there any ways that they not jump to another box? thanks a lot. yuanyuan -- 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!

Re: [gmx-users] CMAP error
This may not be related but it was not straight forward to do DPPC membrane simulation using CHARMM FF in gromacs. The DPPC molecule was not defined at all in the FF files. The DPPC is defined in terms of two more residues in CHARMM. amit On Thu, Dec 9, 2010 at 11:21 AM, Justin A. Lemkul jalem...@vt.edu wrote: Jon Mujika wrote: Dear all, I am setting up a system with GROMACS 4.5.3 and the CHARMM force field. In the protein, I have a neutral lysine, for which CHARMM force filed has a specific residue type (LSN). When I wrote LSN as residue name in the initial pdb file, the topology file was perfectly created by pdb2gmx. However, in the next step, grompp complained about the CMAP torsion between the two previous residues: Fatal error: Unknown cmap torsion between atoms 2747 2749 2751 2754 2757 However, if the LYS residue was written in the initial pdb file and the -lys option included with pdb2gmx (chosen the neutral protonation state for this lysine), grompp did not complain. The problem is that there is a deprotonated tyrosine (bound to a metal) in my system. I created a new residue type, but again the grompp complained about the CMAP between the two previous residues. Unfortunately, in this case I can't fit the problem with any of the pdb2gms options. I think the problem arises when a non-standard residue is included in the initial pdb file. Does someone else find this problem? I would appreciate any advise about how to solve it. I can't promise a solution, but you could try adding LSN and whatever other non-standard residues you need to use in residuetypes.dat. I noticed that LSN is not there, which seems like an omission, since the other CHARMM-specific residue names are there. When LYS is present, probably pdb2gmx is correctly interpreting the residue as protein before converting its name. In the case of LSN or any other non-standard residue, this may not be the case. Check the output of pdb2gmx carefully for any messages that might indicate that a residue of type Other was detected. I've had this cause other problems. If adding LSN to residuetypes.dat fixes the problem, I will file a bugzilla. -Justin Thanks in advance Jon -- Justin A.

Unfortunately, most of the force fields were not parametrized for PME, under which they are often now used. So look at some papers from large well-known groups that have done something similar to what you want to do, judge how well they have worked, and do something comparable. Unfortunately, there have been little or no systematic studies of how accurate forcefield X plus PME needs to be to model reality usefully. Hopefully that will change :-) And directly related to the tutorial in question, the settings used therein were assigned to reproduce the study that I cite in the introductory material. -Justin Justin A.

If the equation of state involves temperature and pressure, yes. So if you fix the density and temperature shouldnt you land up with right pressure which we know should be 1 atm. You are not fixing (or conserving) the temperature in an NVE ensemble. That would be an NVT ensemble, employing a thermostat. I did do NVT first and then for sampling i removed the thermostat. Also as you mentioned there was not much difference b/n pressure values during NVT or NVE . The pressure value is as high as 1000 bar in both cases. Since instantaneous pressure is calculated (in part) from the kinetic energy, and since the kinetic energy is not guaranteed to be conserved, the pressure term will also fluctuate accordingly. This is correct. The pressure thus fluctuates about 20 % of the above mentioned value. http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Terminology/Pressure The internal energy of the system is constant in an NVE ensemble, the other terms may fluctuate as necessary such that all microstates occur with the same probability and the energy surface remains flat. I agree Also recall that an NVE ensemble represents a thermodynamically isolated system, not conducting heat or engaging in work with the surrounding system. true So any concept of external pressure and equilibrating the pressure is irrelevant. I am not trying to equilibriate the pressure. I am trying to measure the pressure. I also know that at 300 K and 1gm/cc the P should be 1 bar. Also, theoretically NVE or NVT are no different than NPT as far as measuring observables is concerned. Hence i was thinking that if you have the right volume density and temperature shouldnt you have the right pressure. I think the disconnect is arising because you're expecting a model of water to behave almost like an ideal gas. The SPC water model, under NPT conditions of 300 K and 1 bar, does not give the experimental density of water; it is actually somewhat less than 1 g/mL. So constraining the system to fit some pre-conceived notion of the volume to force the density to be right conflicts with the properties of the water model itself. SPC wants to be at a lower density, you're forcing it to be at a higher density, all while fixing the volume of the simulation cell. Sounds to me like a recipe for high pressure, since SPC wants to expand but you won't let it. So the starting configuration, assembled with the right density, has not properly equilibrated under NPT conditions, yet you are expecting it to do so when applying NVE conditions. I don't know that you'll ever be able to satisfy all of these requirements simultaneously unless you can come up with a better water model that replicates both ideal and real behavior :) yes model is an issue too. I was just concerned about 3 orders of magnitude of difference in calculation of pressure. Thank you for the answering. amit -Justin -- Justin A.

After this i turned of nvt and did nve with RF-zero for another ns. Energy was well converged during this (RMSD 0.1 %). Temperature was also around 304 K (RMSD 1%). But the pressure was 1.1 Kilobar with a fluctuation of 20 % . I don understand this, shouldnt this be around 1 bar ? Could some one suggest whats on ?

If the equation of state involves temperature and pressure, yes. So if you fix the density and temperature shouldnt you land up with right pressure which we know should be 1 atm. You are not fixing (or conserving) the temperature in an NVE ensemble. That would be an NVT ensemble, employing a thermostat. I did do NVT first and then for sampling i removed the thermostat. Also as you mentioned there was not much difference b/n pressure values during NVT or NVE . The pressure value is as high as 1000 bar in both cases. Since instantaneous pressure is calculated (in part) from the kinetic energy, and since the kinetic energy is not guaranteed to be conserved, the pressure term will also fluctuate accordingly. This is correct. The pressure thus fluctuates about 20 % of the above mentioned value. http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Terminology/Pressure The internal energy of the system is constant in an NVE ensemble, the other terms may fluctuate as necessary such that all microstates occur with the same probability and the energy surface remains flat. I agree Also recall that an NVE ensemble represents a thermodynamically isolated system, not conducting heat or engaging in work with the surrounding system. true So any concept of external pressure and equilibrating the pressure is irrelevant. I am not trying to equilibriate the pressure. I am trying to measure the pressure. I also know that at 300 K and 1gm/cc the P should be 1 bar. Also, theoretically NVE or NVT are no different than NPT as far as measuring observables is concerned. Hence i was thinking that if you have the right volume density and temperature shouldnt you have the right pressure. -Justin amit thank you amit On Sun, May 16, 2010 at 2:07 PM, Justin A.

I want to reproduce this value. In your experience, which model of water would give the closer value. I have seen that the self diffusion of SPC and TIP4P waters are 3.8 units and 3.2 units whereas the actual value is 2.4 unit. For oxygen the bonding potential has been taken to be harmonic.

If your cluster runs linux then it already has OOM Killer that will kill processes that runs out of memory. Also having swap on nodes is a good idea even with huge amount of memory.

Re: [gmx-users] gromacs memory usage
Hi Tsjerk, I tried to do a test run based on the presentation. But there was a memory related error (I had given a leverage of more than 2 GB).

[gmx-users] gromacs memory usage
Hi, I am having trouble with running gromacs with a large system. I am trying to use several processors for the md. The error is a memory allocation error and it might be due to low RAM or large no of particles. I want to know the detailed memory usage of mdrun ie say for N atoms how much memory does the master node need and then also whats the memory requirement for the other nodes. By master node i mean the node that does the domain decomposition calculation etc during the start of mdrun. A webpage which describes the memory requirement at various stages during mdrun will be very helpful.

[gmx-users] water simulation
Hi everyone, I am afraid this is not really a gromacs related question. Could anyone refer me to a review paper which discusses about simulating water? Does any of them gives a comparative and complete study of molecular dynamics with water , answering questions like which water model to use, how to deal with coulomb interaction, what should be the cutoff value (if cutoff is used) . I have not been able to find one with complete story. Is anyone aware of such a publication.

Cells have to be large enough that all nonbonded interactions can be resolved in consultation with at most nearest-neighbour cells (and some other constraints). I'm assuming pbc=xy requires a 2D DD. For example, npme=19 gives npp=45 gives 9x5x1, but npme=28 gives npp=36 gives 6x6x1, which allows for the cells to have the smallest diameter possible. Of course if your simulation box is so small that the 2D DD for pbc=xy will always lead to slabs that are too small in one dimension then you can't solve this problem with DD. If pbc=xy permits a 3D DD, then the same considerations apply. npme=19 gives 5x3x3 but npme=28 allows 4x3x3 Also the simulation runs fine on one node (with domain decomposition) and with particle decomposition but both of them extremely slow.

Of course if your simulation box is so small that the 2D DD for pbc=xy will always lead to slabs that are too small in one dimension then you can't solve this problem with DD. If pbc=xy permits a 3D DD, then the same considerations apply. npme=19 gives 5x3x3 but npme=28 allows 4x3x3 Also the simulation runs fine on one node (with domain decomposition) and with particle decomposition but both of them extremely slow. Well, that's normal...

[gmx-users] diffusion coefficient
Hi Everyone, I have been trying to calculate diffusion coefficient for water. I am trying to reproduce the numbers published in journal papers. I am using SPCE water model. I use the g_msd analysis tool. g_msd -f traj.trr -n index.ndx -s npt.tpr -b 2 -e 8 I use a box of volume 6x6x6 nm^3 which has 7161 water molecules. I equilibriate the system for a ns and then run for additional 10 ps for analysis. Here are some of the numbers that i get a. With Berendsen's T coupling and P coupling on i get 4.4941 (+/- 0.2992) 1e-5 cm^2/s b. With Berendsen's T coupling on and P coupling off I get 3.2469 (+/- 0.1076) 1e-5 cm^2/s c. With Berendsen's T coupling on and P coupling off for 1ns and then T,P coupling both off (for analysis part) i get 2.8085 (+/- 0.0310) 1e-5 cm^2/s . c is closest to the widely accepted experimental value of 2.3 1e-5 cm^2/s but its not quite right. Could someone explain to me why the values obtained in above 3 cases are widely different and may be give some tips about the right procedure to calculate diffusion (method and invoking the g_msd tool)?

[gmx-users] g_angle for calculating dihedrals
Hi everyone, I was looking at calculation od dihedrals using g_angle. I did not understand what the output of this tool is, along the x-axis we have angle (in degrees) but what do we have along the y axis . Does y-axis show the fraction of dihedrals having that specific angle? It does seem so by adding all the fractions but i need to make sure. Just to be sure that you know what i am talking about i first used make_ndx to make a group of 4 atoms (whose dihedral has to be calculated) . Then i used g_angle -f confout.gro -n index.ndx -type dihedral where index.ndx has the indices for all the relevant atoms stored in a group.

Re: [gmx-users] Problem with box-type after the extension of simulation

But now it is showing as cubic box when I see the result after using trajconv (additionally some part of the protein is out of the box). This could only be a visualization glitch.

[gmx-users] Re: Walls In Gromacs
On Tue, Nov 10, 2009 at 4:32 AM, Marcovitz Amir amarcov...@gmail.comwrote: Hi Amit, Unfortunately, i don't have an answer to your question as i am a very new GROMACS user myself.. Actually i might need your help. I need to model two charged plates with opposite signs which are solvated in an electrolyte solution. You might try to start with a boundary condition on the potential say something like constant potential on the plates. And then you can always find the electrostatic Green's function that solves the poisson's equation. From there you could derive an expression for the potential in the box if the charge density were provided. This part is discussed in Classic Electrodynamics book by Jackson. Have a look at it if you need reference. You can use the above green's function for finding potential everywhere in box depending on the location of ions in the solution. The force due to this can then be implemented in MD. I am not very sure about the implementation though. When I was desperately browsing for keywords such as: Gromacs plates, walls, etc., trying to find the slightest clue of how to approach this issue in gromacs i saw your posting from the October 19th. I will most appreciate if you can give me some hint or tip of how to approach this problem or what is the suitable chapter in the manual to search for it. I am not sure about any discussion on the specific type of things you are talking about. Wall function for MD simulation is disscussed in chapter 7. You will only find what options can be used. I think a tabulated function can also be used. Sorry i couldn't help you with your question, hopefully you already figured it out, I think it beneficial for both of us to keep these discussion in the forum for our and other's benefit .

[gmx-users] doing exact continuation
Hi everyone, I want to do an exact continuation with saved configuration and velocity. What are the options that i need to change in mdp file? I know i have to make unconstrained_start = yes. Anything else? The reason i am asking this is that it is kind of difficult to make sure if i am doing the right thing by comparing two different trajectories. This is because the trajectories are generally 'chaotic' and they diverge even if there is a difference in the numbers due to the machine. So i want to do the best from my part. thank you, Amit -- gmx-users mailing listgmx-users@gromacs.org http://lists.gromacs.org/mailman/listinfo/gmx-users Please search the archive at http://www.gromacs.org/search before posting!
