Dear John - I think you can achieve the goal even faster if you just define two groups, such as MOL1 and MOL2 in MDP and then see the interaction energy between them using g_energy. 5% is a decent agreement.

On Mon, Sep 23, 2013 at 2:40 PM, Jong Wha Lee jongwh...@postech.ac.kr wrote: Dear Vitaly, Thank you for your suggestion. I have also tried calculating interaction energies by specifying energygrps in .mdp file, but calculated energies deviate greatly from QM calculated energies and experimental results. I suspect that the structure of each component in complex differs from the structures when they were alone, because this will lead to a deviation in equilibrium binding enthalpy from the interaction energies that is calculated with energygrps line in .mdp file. This might be because of electrostatics treatment method. Use simple cut-off scheme and specify a really large cut-off radius, which exceeds the sum of the sizes of your binding particles. I made tons of such comparisons, QM vs. MM. It works pretty well. My guest of interest have two charges at a short distance, which is very unfavorable and the charges will try to be furthest apart. However, my host molecule can stability the charges via oppositely charged groups, and so now the guest molecule forms a bent structure. In this case, shouldn't the change in energy due to the different conformation of the guest be taken into account, to discuss equilibrium binding enthalpy? I feel maybe this wouldn't be well represented with interaction energies. The binding energy is an energy gain, dE, in the following reaction A + B - AB, dE A, B, and AB are optimized geometries: in vacuum, in solvent or anywhere. So, if a molecule changes its conformation during binding, this energy gain/loss should be a part of the binding energy, I see no methodological problem here. Dr. Vitaly V.

The .rtp mechanism is generally used for building blocks of larger molecules, for which topologies are built with pdb2gmx. There's nothing wrong with building an .rtp, but it's probably about the same work as building an .itp, and then you have to run pdb2gmx and modify the topology it gives you (from .top to .itp). Save some work and just write the .itp file, especially since you already have all the parameters. Generally, how is it possible to add a new solvent to the charmm ff simulations?

Re: [gmx-users] Lennard-Jones potential for protons
I am also not aware of the force field parameters for hydrated/solvated proton, but maybe I am just wrong here. An attempt to describe proton with Newtonian dynamics will unlikely give you anything similar to reality. Lennard-Jones parameters play no role here, by the way, some force fields assign zero sigma and zero epsilon to hydrogen, for instance, in water molecule. If you construct a particle, such as H3O+ or H5O2+, etc, it might work somehow. But you definitely need to run some QM calculations on these particles beforehand. Dr. Vitaly V.

Except for one compute cluster, where the system undergoes an extreme expansion when I use the md-vv integrator for an NPT-simulation.

The same simulation (same .mdp file, same starting positions and velocities from previous simulation) runs fine with the md-vv integrator on our GPU-cluster.

Re: [gmx-users] A charge group moved too far between two domain decomposition steps
This problem indeed happens from time to time. With versions 4.5+ it is more frequent than with versions up to 4.0.7. It is not always connected to blowing up in the sense of bad contacts, positive potential energy, etc. The more cores you use per job, the more likely this error to appear. The larger *spatially) system you simulate, the more likely it to appear. The simple advice is to reduce the time-step, but it is not to be understood as a universal treatment. Of course, you can reinitialize your charge groups, as this is better connected with the below error message.

The systems are not strictly in the thermodynamic equilibrium state, but they are not exploding in the common sense of this term. Another coordinate files, executed with the same MDP file, never crash, however. I do not really know the reason, but it is not as simple as good or bad set of MD parameters.

Re: [gmx-users] How to choose bd_fric value in brownian dynamics
Hello Mohan - I do not use Brownian dynamics code routinely to have exact values for various cases, but if I were you, I would start with smaller value and then increase, until your simulation runs fine. The time-step depends not on the method, but on characteristic oscillations (bond lengths, etc) in your system, so maybe 2fs is just too much for your case. Although one, in principle, can scale the force and apply a large time-step, it will not bring any performance gain at the very end. It is my impression that there are very few people in the community, who use BD engine in GROMACS. Why don't you want to use molecular dynamics?

Re: [gmx-users] Charmm27 potential energies.
The positive charge on the alpha-carbon should be expected. Many methods (not only DFT) will predict tiny non-zero charges even on more remote carbons, if you consider deprotonated form. Protonated form is a neutral molecule. So, alpha -CH2- may be acceptably described as having a a zero charge in total. You can distribute the +1e charge throughout COOH (for instance, uniformly with respect to what you have in COO(-)) to make it also neutral in total. On a related note, it is not very time consuming to calculate electronic structures of CH3-COOH(0e) and CH3-COO(-1e) and derive better electrostatic charges for each site.

I decided to use the parameters for stearic acid as the base for my molecule, since they contain similar structures with the only major change being a shorter hydrophobic tail. I noticed that the charge on stearic acid, and other molecules that have a carboxilic head group, is spread out with -0.9 residing on the head group and -0.1 on the second carbon. I need to use the protonated from of my molecule for my simulation, as well as the deprotonated form. I looked into the parameters for the COOH replacement in the Charmm27 force-field and used that to form the head group of the protonated form of my molecule. The problem that I am facing is that this left behind a charge of -0.1 that resides on the second carbon. Is there any way to find acceptable partial charges without doing the full Gaussian calculations? I would also appreciate it if someone could explain why the charges were split onto the second carbon in the first place.

Re: [gmx-users] simulation single molecule in water
Your problem has nothing to do with barostat. There is such thing as DispCorr. I am unsure whether if should be turned on or off in case of your model. It does influence density to certain extent.

I'm using a cubic water box which has 3.4 nm size. I got the toplogy of my molecule via PRODRG. After running minimization, NVT , NPT and MD for 10 ns , I checked the density of water ,it was less than the real value (1000 kg m\S-3\N) ,actually I got around 950. I have checked my mdp file in the NPT step and I was wondering about tau_p that I should use. First I used 2.0 ps with Parrinello-Rahman coupling. After checking in gromacs archive, I found it is better to use 0.5 ps, I have changed tau-p ,but I still have density value less than 1000.

[gmx-users] Re: Water spreading on graphene!
Yes, the water droplet should remain a droplet on graphene. Since you have a droplet, I assume you have much vacuum in the system. I would not use PME for such system, but would rather compensate it by using larger cutoffs. If you need a simple advice, it is -- enlarge the box to avoid any interactions, which you would not have had in real experiment. I also expect a specific behavior, if your droplet is very small. Maybe, I would simulate this system without PBC at all. Dr. Vitaly Chaban I have a graphene like surface (carbons on a hexagonal lattice with zero partial charges and some LJ parameters) with a drop of water placed on it. In principle, this is a hydrophobic surface and the drop should remain a droplet on it. However, surprisingly I am seeing that the drop is spreading within a 1 ns of the simulation. In the past I have done some similar simulations (with a different structure but basically zero partial charge surface and LJ) on which the drop remains a drop. Does any body have any ideas of what I may be doing wrong? Pasted below is my mdp and top file. Briefly, I am doing NVT simulation, PME for electrostatics, TIP3P water model, the surface is frozen and intra-surface interactions are excluded, the cut-off distances are 1 nm, velocity rescale thermostat (I tried both with the entire system coupled to the same thermostat and with sheet and water being coupled to different thermostats). Any suggestions are welcome. My analysis suggests this comes from the long range electrostatics because we have tested the same thing in LAMMPS. When we turn off PPPM and use cut-off based Coulomb (~5 nm) in LAMMPS (yes now we have changed the software) we don't see the drop spreading. I have done so many simulations and to have this problem stumps me!!

The optimal structures in both cases may be very similar, but may be not so similar. I am just saying that you should not expect ideal coincidence of energy vs. distance curves.

And correct for BSSE. For MM method, it is similar, however, I am not sure I get get the MM energy for just one ion. This energy is zero within classical MD, since you do not consider electrons and nucleus, as you do in QM. Only one calculation is needed for MM.

[gmx-users] Re: RDF output has no data
I believe the problem is in the way which you used to convert AMBER trajectory to the GROMACS trajectory I would suggest to try gmxdump and see what your trajectory looks like. Oe maybe even better - try to visualize it in VMD to see if the format is correct. Dr. Vitaly Chaban Sir I was using an old version. Now I used 4.5.5, it still gives me the same blank output file. Kindly suggest how to go about solving this Thanks On Sat, Apr 6, 2013 at 2:26 PM, Mark Abraham mark.j.abra...@gmail.com wrote: On Sat, Apr 6, 2013 at 7:19 AM, Venkat Reddy venkat...@gmail.com wrote: There was no fatal error preceding the output.

Re: [gmx-users] Re: How to set the sigma and epsilon for Cu2+ in OPLS-AA/L
I think your misunderstanding comes from the belief that sigma (as they are tabulated in the force field files) should *exactly correspond* to the VDW diameter, as in encyclopedia. This is simply not the case. In reality, sigmas in the force fields are tuned in order to give right interatomic distances AFTER you turn on all the necessary potentials (Coulombic attraction in case of OPLS).

We are going to the use the bonded model together with Coulomb and LJ potentials. My problem is that vdw radius and its sigma do not follow the equation of Rvdw = pow(2, 1/6)*sigma in the OPLS force field files, not just for copper. That's why I sent these e-mails for suggestions. I am sorry for the unclear.

Are you going to simulate copper-ligand interactions using Coulomb+LJ potential only? I would guess it is a chemical bonding case. Maybe the Morse potential (additionally) can be of better service?

Thanks! All the best, Qinghua Liao On 04/07/2013 11:35 AM, Dr. Vitaly Chaban wrote: The equation is a direct consequence of LJ-12-6 equation. This equation is used in OPLS and most other force fields. The difference you found originate from the fact that, besides LJ potential, there is much stronger Coulomb potential in the copper-ion case. If you run simulations, you will see that copper-ligand distance is smaller than the sum of their sigmas multiplied by pow (2, 1/6). Dr. Vitaly Chaban On Sun, Apr 7, 2013 at 11:28 AM, fantasticqhl fantastic...@gmail.comwrote: Dear Dr. Vitaly Chaban, Thanks for the explanation. I know this equation. However, the van der Waals radius and its counterpart sigma in OPLS-AA/L force field files do not follow this equation. For example, the vdw radius of copper ion is 1.4 angstrom, and its sigma is 2.08470e-01 (I guess the unit is nm). pow(2, 1/6) is more than 1, so obviously this equation does not work with copper. So do other atoms. I guess that there might be an additional coefficient for this equation in gromacs. That's the purpose for asking. Thanks very much!

If this is not the case, an optimal sigma can only be found iteratively.

My question is the relationship between van der Waals radius and sigma in the OPLS-AA/L force filed files of Gromacs. Of course I did ab initio optimizations of my system, but I do not know there is some relation between the optimal bond length (copper--atom of the ligand) and sigma. Could you please be more clear and give a little detailed explanation? Thanks very much!
