Re: [gmx-users] Re: Simulating a semi-membrane protein

2013-07-23 Thread Catarina Santos
Dear Pavithrakb,

First of all, your choice will depend on the available parameters for the
lipid molecules that you want to simulate (check the Lipidbook
repositoryhttp://lipidbook.bioch.ox.ac.uk/
).

Concerning the GROMOS force fields the most recent lipid parameters are the
ones included in the G54A8 force field (Reif_2012_JCTC_8_3705,
Reif_2013_JCTC_9_1247).

However, Poger et al proposed an add-on to the standard G53A6
(Poger_2010_JCC_31_1117
and Poger_2010_JCTC_6_325), lately incorporated in the G54A7
(Schmidt_2011_EBJ_40_843), that is commonly used and yields good results
for the analysed lipid parameters (i.e. in agreement with experimental
measurements).

Despite the aforementioned papers, you might want to go through the
references listed bellow concerning several lipid parameters for GROMOS
force fields or proposed modifications (e.g. cutoff schemes, charges,
charge group distributions):

Re: [gmx-users] LAMBADA and InflateGRO2

2013-07-22 Thread Catarina Santos
Hi Atila,

Lambada was not able to properly identify the membrane reference atoms and
you get that error message when it tries to calculate the membrane centre
in the Z-axis.

Although I'm not an expert I would recommend you to use an index file for
the protein and the membrane (options -n1 and -n2, type lambada -h). In my
case this was the solution to that problem, but my system is simpler than
yours.

[gmx-users] Furthest distance between 2 atoms

2012-06-08 Thread Catarina Santos
Hi everybody,

I am trying to find an easy way to calculate the furthest distance between
the atoms of two groups in a system. I know that g_dist can give me all the
distances I want, but I would have to run g_dist for each possible atom
pair (which is not a fast or a straightforward process).

I have already checked the manual and tried some tools, I did not
find anything that returns all the distances between all the possible pairs
of atoms though. Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.
