[gmx-users] Help with g_rmsf
Hi everyone, please I have a litle problem: during my simulation, the dimer I'm simulating changed a lot. So when I calculate with g_rms, the RMSD between my initial and my final structure (choosing Protein-H), I get a value of 10 angstroms. However, when I try to calculate a RMSDeviation averaged over residue using g_rmsf -od , between the first chain of the initial and final structure, I get RMSDeviation per residue values that don't exceed 3 or 4 angstroms. Please can anyone explain how g_rmsf works? If I do the following: g_rmsf -s initial.pdb -f final.pdb -od rmsdev.xvg -res (I choose chainA-H), does g_rmsf fit one the whole dimer and then calculate rmsdeviation of chainA or does it fit on chainA and then calculate RMSdeviation of chainA. In the latter case, my result does not reflect the reality of my simulation. Please if anyone knows the answer, I would really appreciate some help.

[gmx-users] vdwtype = cut-off
Hi everyone, I ran my simulations with these parameters: nstlist = 10 ns_type = grid rlist = 0.9 coulombtype = PME rcoulomb= 0.9 vdwtype = cut-off rvdw= 1.2 Apparently, in Gromacs, when using vdwtype = cut-off, the potential changes discontinuously. However, I have a constant LJ(SR) energy and a constant LJ(LR) energy, although I didn't use either Switch or Shift. Please can anyone explain how does the cut-off really works in Gromacs and whether my simulations are correct or not?

[gmx-users] g_tune_pme
Hi everyone, please I was running simulations with gromacs version 4.0.3 ,but I got the following error: Average load imbalance: 12.1 % Part of the total run time spent waiting due to load imbalance: 6.9 % Steps where the load balancing was limited by -rdd, -rcon and/or -dds: X 0 % Y 9 % Average PME mesh/force load: 0.807 Part of the total run time spent waiting due to PP/PME imbalance: 5.3 % NOTE: 6.9 % performance was lost due to load imbalance in the domain decomposition. NOTE: 5.3 % performance was lost because the PME nodes had less work to do than the PP nodes. You might want to decrease the number of PME nodes or decrease the cut-off and the grid spacing. After searching the archive mailing list and reading the manual , I decided to use g_tune_pme so I switched to gromacs 4.5.4.

Re: [gmx-users] Residence time and trjorder
Dear Xavier, my problem is the following: I'm trying to figure out if a water molecule is present in a specific area around my protein and if so, which water molecule is that and how long does it stay in that place. As you said, if I google residence time, here's the definition: *Residence time* (also known as *removal time*) is the average amount of time that a particle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle spends in a particular system. But I don't find a tool to calculate this residence time in gromacs, so I'm trying to find a trick that can give me a pourcentage of the time of my simulation where a certain water molecule stays in the specific area of my protein.

Re: [gmx-users] g_hbond
Hi Erik, I tried what you said: I made index groups containing only the atoms involved in that hbond and ran g_hbond again. The problem didn't persist. So I wanted to check if I misinterpreted the map: for that, I compared my 4 index files: the one of my concatenated trajectory and the three of the separate trajectories. When I look at this comparison table and then at my concatenated hbond map, the results don't match: for example, the Hbond that has the number 1 in my concatenated trajectory doesn't appear in my concatenated map (it means that in my map, next to y=1, nothing appears), however, this same H-bond (same number of atoms involved) exists in my first and my third trajectories' index files. So please could you explain how to interpret the map and if next to some y value in my map, nothing appears, is this value taken into account in my index file?

This H_bond doesn't exist in the index files of two of my trajectories. So it doesn't match the result I get with my concatenated trajectory. To be sure that this result is right, I calculated the angle and the r of my H-bond in VMD during each of the 3 trajectories and the results indicate that this H-bond doesn't exist (I consider that r must be or equal to 0.35 nm and angle or equal to 30 degrees).

Could you file a bugzilla and either upload the trajectories+tpr, or, if the files are huge, make them available my other means? I need to have a closer look, perhaps through a debugger. A simple test you could do yourself is to make index groups containing only the atoms involved in that hbond and run g_hbond again. If the problem persists, then it looks like a bug.

Hi to all, I'm sorry I'm asking again a question I asked a week ago but I still haven't found my answer: I concatenated 3 trajectories of 3 different molecules (that have the same number of atoms) with trjcat: trjcat -settime Then I ran g_hbond on the concatenated trajectory, I got an index.ndx file that contains an H-bond between the Thr121 of my protein and an atom N2 of my ligand. This H_bond figures in the 3 trajectories when I look at the hbmap of my concatenated trajectory. On the other hand, I ran g_hbond on each of the 3 different trajectories. This H_bond doesn't exist in the index files of two of my trajectories. So it doesn't match the result I get with my concatenated trajectory. To be sure that this result is right, I calculated the angle and the r of my H-bond in VMD during each of the 3 trajectories and the results indicate that this H-bond doesn't exist (I consider that r must be or equal to 0.35 nm and angle or equal to 30 degrees). Please can anyone tell me why the results of g_hbond in my concatenated trajectory don't match the results of g_hbond on each of my trajectories?

Re: [gmx-users] Percentage of H-bonds
Please I have a problem: I concatenated 3 trajectories and got one long trajectory on which I ran the perl script it gives me lets say 60% for hbond 1. But when I look in each of the 3 trajectories alone, this hbond doesn't even exist in 2 of them. Do you have an idea where the problem might be because I checked if it's well concatenated and it is. And I can't figure out why I have this error. Thanks, Carla On Tue, Oct 26, 2010 at 2:08 PM, Justin A.

[gmx-users] g_hbond on concatenated trajectory

Then I wanted to run g_hbond on each of my 3 trajectories. Here, I get a different result, it means: if I take the first 10ps of my concatenated trajectory and I run g_hbond on these 10ps. I get some H-bonds eg. Gly(N)...H(gly)...O but this same H-bond doesn't appear in the first 10ps of my concatenated trajectory's HBmap.

Re: [gmx-users] g_hbond on concatenated trajectory
No, I don't think so because I did an .eps file (with xpm2ps) that indicates the Time(ps) in x-axis and Hydrogen Bond Index in y-axis. This is the way I'm reading my matrix.

Re: [gmx-users] g_hbond on concatenated trajectory
I'm sorry I don't understand, because your last answer doesn't correspond to what's written in the manual. I'm using gromacs 4.0.3 and the manual says: -hbm: existence matrix. Ordering is identical to that in -hbn index file. And yes, my trajectory is concatenated the way I intended to, but I will check anyway.

You're not going to get any numbers in this plot (aside from hydrogen bond indices). The matrix you're trying to plot is an existence matrix, a red pixel if the hydrogen bond is present, a white one if none is present. You can map which hydrogen bond is which from the hbond.ndx file. That is, once you get it rendered properly (see below). Please how can I visualize correctly my matrix? You can alter its properties (proportions, x/y spacing) with a .m2p file. There is an example in the online manual. If the plot is simply a straight line, you'll probably want to decrease the x-spacing and increase the y-spacing to make it look normal. -Justin Thank you Carla -- Justin A.

[gmx-users] trjconv -pbc
Hi everyone, please I'm doing a simulation of a dimer with a ligand. When I want to visualize my trajectory, I have the problem that my dimer or my ligand or both diffuse out of the box and I don't have a continuous trajectory. I tried many options: 1)trjconv -center -pbc mol -ur compact (centering on protein) 2) trjconv -center -pbc mol (centering on the ligand) 3) trjconv -center -pbc atom (centering on ligand) and then, trjconv -pbc whole 4) trjconv -pbc nojump and then trjconv -fit rot+trans 5) trjconv -center -pbc mol (centering on protein) and then trjconv -fit rot+trans 6) trjconv -center -pbc mol -ur compact (centering on ligand) and then -fit rot+trans *all of these options didn't work* I tried a last one: trjconv -center -pbc atom -ur compact (centering on ligand) and then trjconv -pbc nojump and then trjconv -fit rot+trans this one is the best one but I still have one part of my molecule that diffuses out of the box at one point in my trajectory. Please I'm out of ideas, can anyone give me a hint on how to get a fully continuous trajectory entirely centered in my box?

[gmx-users] Protein out of the box (not PBC problem)
Hi everyone, please I can't figure out how to do this: I have a trajectory with water. If I concatenate it, since I have a FAT32 file system, it's a file too large! So I'm trying to avoid this. For that, I extracted my protein (it's a dimer) from each step of my simulation (when doing that, I did -pbc nojump and then I fit) and then concatenated all the steps, to obtain the whole trajectory with only the protein. When I watch my trajectory with VMD, I suspect that the distance between the monomers is larger than the dimension of my box. I'm sure that it's not a PBC problem, because I already did trjconv -pbc nojump. So my question is: is there a way to check if my protein is coming out of the box, without having to watch the whole trajectory with water molecules, because I can't do that.

[gmx-users] Dimer g_rms
Dear all, I'm running my first simulation of a dimer. When I run g_rms on Calpha (lsq fit and RMSD calculation on Calpha) to get the RMSD of the whole dimer, the graph is ascending, till reaching a value of 8 A. in this case, I take a .tpr file, a .xtc file and a .ndx file of the whole dimer. However, when I run g_rmsd on Calpha, but this time, to get the RMSD of one chain (one monomer), the graph is constant with value around 1 A. and this for both chains, when taken alone. In this case, I take a .tpr file, a .xtc file and a .ndx file of the monomer. So is this an error of using g_rms? Thank you.

Re: [gmx-users] Dimer g_rms
Thank you for all your replies. Actually, I have already applied trjconv -pbc. So I'm sure that my analysis is on a whole protein, centered in my box. I'm using gromacs 4.0.3 So I think that you were right by saying that my dimer is not stable while my monomers are. But now, I have to fgure out why. Thanks again, Carla On Wed, Jun 30, 2010 at 1:54 PM, Tsjerk Wassenaar tsje...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, Not necessary! If the dimer separates across the boundaries you have a problem of fitting the two together while they are separated. This is only if you use the dimer. The monomers would be fine. That was the case before gromacs 4. But the current versions don't keep molecules whole. This means that a PBC effect will show up in at least one monomer, if there is splitting over the boundaries. It also means that the jumps due to this are much smaller, and may not be as easily identified as before. That's a general word of caution, unrelated to the issue mentioned here. Concluding, if the version is 4, the increase in RMSD may either be due to splitting or due to relative motion of the domains, but the evolution of the RMSD (sudden or gradual) will tell which is the case. Otherwise, the increase will be due to relative motion of the domains. Cheers, Tsjerk -- Tsjerk A.

Well they have wildly different values, so plotting all three together means you can't see any fluctuations, so you might as well just look at the averages... If you want all three with fluctuations, then you'll need to play with the plotting program's functionality for representations and axes (for xmgrace). See http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/How-tos/Graphing_Data for various ideas on plotting. Mark Zooming is of course an option. I for one find it helpful to inspect the energies as a function of time to get an idea of the convergence time for certain properties and to detect any wierdness in my setup that may have ruined my simulations. -- --- Erik Marklund, PhD student Dept. of Cell and Molecular Biology, Uppsala University.

[gmx-users] Potential Energy problem
Hi everyone, please I encountered a problem of potential energy rising suddenly during my simulation. Someone advised me to take the previous conformation of my system, center it in the box, minimize it then restart my MD simulation, by taking the previous velocities of this conformation. So I did the centering and the minimization. Usually, I used to do the following for my MD run. tpbconv -s .tpr -extend 6000 -o .tpr mdrun -v -s .tpr -cpi state_.cpt -cpo state_.cpt -o .trr -c .gro -x .xtc -e .edr -g .log However, this time I need to go from the minimized structure. So in order to get a .tpr file of my minimized structure (.gro), I created a .mdp file with gen_vel=no and did: grompp -f .mdp -c minimized.gro -p .top -o minimized.tpr After that, I tried the following: tpbconv -s minimized.tpr -extend 6000 -o .tpr mdrun -v -s .tpr -cpi state_.cpt -cpo state_.cpt -o .trr -c .gro -x .xtc -e .edr -g .log and got this error message: *WARNING: This run will generate roughly 3410368410012306432 Mb of data starting mdrun 'Protein in water' 6 steps, 12.0 ps (continuing from step 27, 54.0 ps). nodetime = 0!

[gmx-users] pdb gro files
Hi, please I'm having a problem while running a minimisation. I prepared my system with pdb2gmx and generated .pdb files. From the last pdb file, I did grompp generated the tpr file that I used to start my minimization. At the 46th step, I encountered the problem:water molecule cannot be settled. I looked at the pdb file and found that many water residues have the same number because above residue , it restarts to count residue 0, 1, etc... I prepared the same system but I generated .gro files instead of .pdb started my minimization. But did't encounter the same problem. I looked at the gro file here, it's the atomic number that can't be above 9. So did anyone encounter this problem before, if yes, please do you have a solution to propose?

Re: [gmx-users] Average structure -s
I looked at g_rmsf -h but the problem is that it's not clear enough. The help doesn't state how g_rmsf works what does it calculate exactly. Because the definition of an RMSF is the following: the mean-square fluctuation is a measure of the deviation between the position of particle i and some reference position. Typically, this reference position will be the time-averaged position of the same particle i. So does g_rmsf calculate the average structure then the RMSF according to this average structure? Or does it calculate the RMSF after fitting to a reference structure that I would have specified with the option -s?

However, when I try to do that with trjconv -f .trr -s .trr -n .ndx gromacs asks to choose a group from my index file. But if I choose group 0 1 2 it only takes the first group without the rest.

Thank you Mark One last question: is there a certain molecule builder (open-source) you recommand.? Because all the molecule builders I found, draw molecules from scratch, but what I need is to add heavy atoms to the pdb structure I already have.

In my pdb file, some heavy atoms are missing but I need them for my simulation. So my question is: is there an application in gromacs, that can add automatically these heavy atoms? If not, does anyone have an idea of how can I do this? It's outside the scope of GROMACS. If it's just an atom or two, then building them in with any old molecule builder is probably acceptable. If it's a whole loop missing, then some more high-tech might be in order. Google MODELLER and links on their webpage. There are certainly web-servers out there that will be able to do things for you, but caveat emptor.

[gmx-users] minimum residue distances
Hi everyone, since i'm in beginner in molecular dynamics, I still have some trouble with finding the adequate formulas. Now, I'm trying to find the formula to calculate the minimum residue distances.

Re: [gmx-users] Re: converting proper dihedrals into ryckaert-bellemans
Dear Alan, if I completely understood how acpypi works, it seems that it generates the topology parameters from the pdb file of the molecule. But the problem is that I have the topology parameters (my angles, bond distances and dihedrals) and want to implement them in Gromacs, so actually I want to set specific parameters' values in gromacs.

If yes, does anyone know how to fix this? No, that probably means that you have clashes (atomic overlaps) in your system which cause huge forces. Track down which atoms cause the error message and remove the clashes. If that error message appeares during energy minimization, using flexible water may help. Define -DFLEXIBLE in the mdp file, and check in the spc/itp4p/tip3p.itp file if flexible water molecules are actually defined. Good luck, Jochen Carla On Thu, Oct 1, 2009 at 4:46 PM, Justin A.

Hi, what do you mean: use gmxdump to trace the molecule? I'm a beginner with gromacs and all I found about gmxdump is that it reads a binary file prints that to standard output in a readable format. So how can I check if my atom number is the same in my pdb file my output file?
