[gmx-users] PME-user for electrostatics

2008-11-27 Thread Argyrios Karatrantos
hi, 

i want to use a different function than the Coulomb to calculate the 
electrostatics 

between charged ions. So i am thinking to user the PME-user option for the 
electrostatics.

The manual says for the PME-user optionThe PME mesh contribution is subtracted 
from the user table by mdrun.

what that means?  should i have to add the short-range-potential (given by 
equation-4.33 in the manual)

in the user table, because that will be subtracted with the mdrun? 

please let me know,  and thanks a lot for your help

[gmx-users] nematic phase disappears with reducing the time step

2008-10-22 Thread Argyrios Karatrantos
hi, 

i am doing simulations NVT simulations of rigid charged rods (with constrained 
bonds and stiff bending potential)in vacuum using PME for the electrostatics 
with a time step of 0.0015 ps (which i think is a pretty reasonable value for a 
corse grain model)
A nematic phase of the rods appears at specific concentration (i have checked 
the Total-energy, Pressure, Temperature of the system and it is seems the 
simulation is in equilibrium)

however when i do simulation of the same system with smaller time steps such as 
1.0 fs or 0.5 fs, the nematic phase disappears (there is only a small increase 
of the potential energy comparative to that of the nematic)

what is the reason that the time step can cause such an artifact phase?

[gmx-users] one component plasma simulations (OCP)

2008-08-12 Thread Argyrios Karatrantos
hi, 
is it possible to do one component plasma (OCP) simulations using gromacs?
in the one component plasma (OCP) charged particles immersed into a homogeneous
neutralizing backround. 
so i would guess that the neutralizing backround is the difficult thing for 
gromacs
i would appreciate very much if you have any idea of how to do this in gromacs
thanks very much

[gmx-users] OCP simulations

2008-08-12 Thread Argyrios Karatrantos
hi David 
A one-component plasma (OCP) is a system in which a single species of charged 
particle
moves in a uniform backround of the opposite charge.  Systems of this nature 
exist in the dense stellar matter of white-dwarf stars.
when the screening parameter of the screened Coulomb goes to zero then we have 
the Coulombic one-component plasma
you are right , in gromacs 3.3.1 , it is possible to use a uniform neutralizing 
backround in PME to  compensate for a system with a net backround charge. it is 
not necessary to add counterions to neutralize the system.
thank you very much

[gmx-users] RDF values lower than 1

2008-05-10 Thread Argyrios Karatrantos
Hi, 
i calculate the RDF from NVT simulation of a solution of polyelectrolyte chains 
and their counterions. The RDF calculated is between the monomers of the chains 
and the counterions.  I would expect that the equilibrated value of RDF would 
be 1. 
However  it is always lower than 1,  at values of 0.9-0.95.   Whats the reason 
of that , is anything wrong with my simulation? 
I do a long enough run to stabilize the total energy of the system and 
temperature
Thanks in advance for your help

[gmx-users] stochastic dynamics and barostat in Gromacs

2008-05-05 Thread Argyrios Karatrantos
Hi all, 
I want to simulate a polyelectrolyte chain with its counterions in solution  in 
NPT ensemble. 
it is well known that for such a system stochastic dynamics is usually used 
(Langevin thermostat). 
However what's the best choice for the barostat in Gromacs for such a system 
(Berendsen or Parinello-Rahman)?

[gmx-users] WCA potential

2007-11-26 Thread Argyrios Karatrantos
hi all, 

i am using a WCA potential and PME  to calculate the non-bonded interactions of 
monomers of polyelectrolyte chains and counterions in solution.
i use a table.xvg file where i have inserted the WCA potential (given values to 
 x,f(x),f''(x),g(x),g''(x),h(x),h''(x) as is explained in the manual). is that 
the only way to insert the WCA potential  in gromacs or i can do that 
automatically from the input file?

[gmx-users] free energy calculations in charged systems

2007-11-20 Thread Argyrios Karatrantos
Hi all, 

i am  working in polyelectrolyte solutions, and i would like to calculate the 
free energy 
for the polyectrolyte system (charged) to change to a neutral (non-charged) 
system.
The question is if it feasible to use the PME electrostatics in gromacs for the 
above
 free-energy calculation.

thanks

Hi all,
  is it feasible to implement the widom method in Gromacs in a system
 of Lennard-Jones chains,
in other words to insert a molecule chain and calculate the
 difference of DeltaU=U(N+1)-U(N) ?
if it is feasible how this can be implemented

thanks all of you

[gmx-users] FENE potential

2006-12-11 Thread Argyrios Karatrantos
Hi,

 More than possible, it has already been done. Manual chapter 4.2.4,
 page 51. And please give me a very good reason why I now picked up the
 manual and looked for FENE, instead of you.

My bad... :-P I assumed someone would read the available documentation
resources before posting on this list. You'd think I'd learn, huh...

Mark

First of all in the gromacs manual 3.2, that i have on page 51 there is the LJ 
and Buckingham potential  and in chapter 4.2.4 (page 58) the harmonic potential 
is discussed, so page 51 and chapter 4.2.4 talk about different things. 
Second
the FENE potential has a form of  VFENE  =   - k(R02/2)ln(1 - (r/R0)2), it is 
an anharmonic spring potential and has used extensiverly in coarse grains 
polymer models, it is harmonic only at the minimum
Third Mark and Tsjerk you must be more careful, specific and polite in your 
answers you give, especially when you don't know what you are talking about, 
not try to get rid of someone, make sure first that you understand and have the 
right answer, otherwise it is better not to answer!___

[gmx-users] relative weight between the direct space sum and reciprocal space sum

2006-12-06 Thread Argyrios Karatrantos
HI, 

according to the 3.2 gromacs manual , the ewald_rtol parameter is the relative 
strength of the electrostatic interaction at the cut off, decreasing this gives 
a more accurate direct sum, but a less accurate reciprocal sum(p. 81).
The beta parameter is the parameter that determines the relative weight between 
the direct sum and reciprocal sum(p.55) but i don't think you can set the beta 
parameter in gromacs ___

from the time that epsilon(r) can not take a value different than 1, in order

I would like to know what kind of implicit water model GROMACS uses.

The warning message that i get is during grompp :   
Trying to add BuckingHam while the default nonbond type is LJ (SR)

eventhough i get this warning message, the grompp works fine, and the mdrun too.

Hi all, 

is it possible in the topology file to have (compination rule=1) and have under
the [nonbond_params] both LJ potentials and Buckingham potentials. please let
me know. i am doing that but i get some warnings after grompp procedure.

HI Gromacs users, 

my question is if i have to denote under the [nonbond_params] same non bonded
atoms in a polymeric chain, such as C-C nonbonded interactions.

i am giving the lennard jones parameters in the [atomtypes] for carbon(C). 

do i have to write again the nonbonded interaction of C-C under the
[nonbond_params] section

thanks in advance
