Re: [gmx-users] Box size increases in NPT

If the job is not very parallel, it will not crash.

It is better to preequilibrate in NVT beforehand. Cyclopropylchloride
is probably a liquid at 290K, if the model is parametrized reasonably.
So it should not phase-separate.

Re: [gmx-users] carbon nanotube - ifnite in length ?

2013-09-26 Thread Dr. Vitaly Chaban
I think this is in topology, not in MDP. With PBC, you just specify
what happens to the particle after it crosses the edge of the box in
certain direction.

I have no preference regarding LINCS vs harmonic bonds.

You can also freeze only the rim atoms of the nanotube from both
ends and this will be almost the same as infinite tube. This solution
is faster on my taste.

Re: [gmx-users] carbon nanotube - ifnite in length ?

 Use pbc = xyz in conjunction with periodic_molecules = yes otherwise the
 topology gets messed up trying to form unreasonable bonds.  The
 periodic_molecules keyword in the .mdp allows for bonds to be maintained
 over PBC.

 I remember a very old post somewhere in the archive that said one should not
 apply pressure coupling along the axis of the nanotube, due to some
 difficulties with maintaining the bonded geometry, but since I have never
 done CNT simulations, take the fact that I'm just repeating what I've heard
 for what it's worth :)

 Constraints always come with the cost of communication, so I would imagine
 harmonic bonds are less expensive.  I really don't see constraints as a
 limiting factor for performance, though.

Re: [gmx-users] Calculation of binding enthalpy in vacuum

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. Usually, even basis set superposition error
is larger (if you include this correction).

 I’m trying to calculate the binding enthalpy of a host molecule with a

 systems I’m studying are too large.



 I know that free energy calculations are possible with Gromacs, but they
 require some cautions.



 Instead of calculating free energies, I have subtracted the total energy of
 the guest (△EG) and the host (△EH) from the total energy of the complex
 (△EC). In other words,



 △E = △EC - △EH - △EG, where all energies are total energy obtained from
 g_energy.



 In this case, would the calculated △E be the binding enthalpy in vacuum
 (gas phase)?



 I’ve tried QM calculations, and the △E obtained with Gromacs matches QM
 calculations in ~ 5% range. But I’m still unsure on how proper this method
 is. Could you advise me on this?



 Thank you in advance,

[gmx-users] trjconv and Floating point exception

2013-09-23 Thread Dr. Vitaly Chaban
Using trjconv -f traj.xtc -o confout.gro -dump 1500, I routinely
get the following error:

Select a group: 0
Selected 0: 'System'
Reading frame   0 time0.000
Precision of traj.xtc is 0.004 (nm)
Using output precision of 0.001 (nm)

Back Off! I just backed up confout.gro to ./#confout.gro.1#
Reading frame   17000 time 510.000   Floating point exception (core dumped)

What is it because of? Insufficient memory? Or something with the
trajectory file (it works nice if -dump 20). The traj.xtc file
is 11GB, the memory is 64GB.

Thanks!

Re: [gmx-users] Re: Re: Calculation of binding enthalpy in vacuum

 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.

  Set the constraints explicitly in the topology of one protein using a

   The constraints read from the topology will override the .mdp setting

Re: [gmx-users] Number Density

I would guess that the density is zero at the center, since you do not have

Yes, the output density is number of interaction sites per nm^3, calculated
in each slice, whose size you had specified.

Re: [gmx-users] GaussView 4.0 and ITP adjuster

2013-09-09 Thread Dr. Vitaly Chaban
Hmmm

GaussView is a supplement to Gaussian to prepare input files and visualize
some (but far not all) results. Of course, it has nothing to do with
gromacs and its topologies.

Or, do I misunderstand you?

Re: [gmx-users] GaussView 4.0 and ITP adjuster

2013-09-09 Thread Dr. Vitaly Chaban
First we built their 3D structures in the *.pdb format using Gauss View
4.0 and Frisch et al.
[30http://www.hindawi.com/journals/chem/2013/803151/#B30]
and submitted them to energy minimization with Frisch et al.
[30http://www.hindawi.com/journals/chem/2013/803151/#B30]
using the algorithm B3LYP/3-21G with charge chelpg, in order to generate
their *.out files.

What does this have to do with gromacs topologies?

 My suspect of the problem
 In my system I have Al, bonded to 6 OH, and Mg, that is non-bonded, so only
 LJ. My nrexcl is set to 2, as I don't have dihedrals. The Al and Mg form a
 mesh, that should be infinite in xy-

 I am guessing what I have to do is to artificially connect those Mg to OH
 with k=0 bonds  angles (?) and then include [ pairs ] of Mg O and Mg H to
 be calculated as LJ?

 I have a non usual FF, hence cannot figure out how to implement it yet.

 Thank you for help, V

No, it is not. But you can at least convert coordinates via VMD.

If you want to use gromacs trajectory analysis tools, it is easier to
convert NAMD trajectory to gromacs trajectory. Otherwise, I have no idea
why one may need to jump between codes.

H = U +pV, all these terms are available through g_energy.

Your resulting values will be per mole, so I would perform no additional
normalization.

Personally, I would simulate all cases (folded, unfolded, etc) with the
same number of waters -- to avoid any possible artifacts.

 let's say the difference between unfolded to folded protein is 100 water
 molecules. What is the correct procedure to calculate (theoretically) the
 entrapy correspond to single water molecule for stabilizing/destabilizing
 the protein.

 help me

  Sure, you can.

  Hi
 
  I want calculate the enthalpy of water molecule corresponding to protein
  folded and unfolded state.
  How much a single water molecule (enthalpy and free energy) contribute
  in
  folding ?
  Can we calculate enthapy from g_energy?

 Thank you. Another question: Does RDF depends on the mass of the atom? On
 the one hand it gives different value of the force in equation of motion
 but on the other hand velocities are rescaled with a thermostat.



It does not. Provided that ergodicity applies to your calculation/system.

No different value of the force, just of the acceleration.

  It is taken from [atoms].  The entries for mass in [atomtypes] are only

Re: [gmx-users] Xe atom

Indeed.


So, go to your main topology file and define a new atom type Xe under an
appropriate section. Then just add sigma and epsilon in the non-bonded
section and you are ready to explore the binding.

 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?


 Like you would any other standalone molecule - write an .itp for it.

Re: [gmx-users] shell MD

2013-07-05 Thread Dr. Vitaly Chaban
Vitaly saw this problem while running gromacs/mopac interface about 4 years
ago... The impression was that the problem is related to incorrectly
computed forces.

I would file a bug report.

Re: [gmx-users] Lennard-Jones potential for protons

2013-07-03 Thread Dr. Vitaly Chaban
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.

 Dear Gromacs users,

 I experience a very strange problem.
 I have a well equilibrated system consisting of a protein, a ligand, ions
 and water. On most machines I run my simulations on, everything is just
 fine. Except for one compute cluster, where the system undergoes an extreme
 expansion when I use the md-vv integrator for an NPT-simulation. To give
 you an impression I uploaded a short video showing the first 100
 picoseconds of the run to my Dropbox:
 https://www.dropbox.com/s/**d1ef94bbns0hasr/explode.mpghttps://www.dropbox.com/s/d1ef94bbns0hasr/explode.mpg

 The system expands so heavily that it consists mainly of vacuum.
 If I switch the integrator from md-vv to md, everything is fine again.
 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.

 The .mdp file can be downloaded here:
 https://www.dropbox.com/s/**k9it6eiqb259o59/explode.mdphttps://www.dropbox.com/s/k9it6eiqb259o59/explode.mdp

 I have no idea if it is me who is doing something wrond, a bug in Gromacs,
 a problem with the cluster or something else.
 Any suggestions and ideas are appreciated.

 Regards,
 Oliver

Re: [gmx-users] A charge group moved too far between two domain decomposition steps

2013-06-11 Thread Dr. Vitaly Chaban
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.

There is a problem with the number of temperature coupling groups. You have
defined less than you expect, as the program requests only 9 values. So,
refer to the number of points to T annealing, which you do not list here.

 People generally reported more crashes in 4.5.x than in 4.0.x that we
 determined arise from nsttcouple and nstpcouple being set incorrectly.
  There's a thread somewhere about it, but in general, the same principles
 are always true - adequate equilibration and sensible .mdp settings should
 lead to stable integration later on.



I can send you a couple of systems, which spontaneously crash. Not at the
beginning and not at the end, just unpredictably every few dozens of
nanoseconds. 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. Maybe, something is connected with (deprecated) versions
of external libraries, since at my workstation, where I control everything,
crashes occur more rarely than at the cluster.





  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.


 What does this mean?  Charge groups are a fixed element of the force
 field; how would you propose adjusting them to make the error go away?




Really? How many force fields can you enumerate, where the developers say
how we should distribute atoms among the charge groups?

Not all MD codes use charge group mechanism, by the way.

Anyways, this is not my thread. Perhaps, the starter really has a simple
problem with blowing up.

Re: [gmx-users] System does not heat up to 300K.

2013-06-11 Thread Dr. Vitaly Chaban
According to your MD parameters, your system should attain T=300K at the 300th
nanosecond.

Since you have run only for 50 * 0.002 ps = 1ns, you got T=1K, since
temperature elevates linearly, based on your setup.

 without knowing full details of your simulated system and the goals you
 pose, I cannot advise anything more definite than I did before.

 if I were you and my system were yours, I would start with MARTINI FF.

 I wish you a success in your endeavor.

 Dear Sir,
 Thank you so much for your reply. To be specific, my system has only four
 lipid moities- 2 cholesteryl oleates and 2 phosphotidyl cholines. But I was
 not able to get all atom paramters for these lipids from the lipid book(
 only united atom parameters were available). So I had resorted to using
 united atom for the whole system. But I am afraid if I am missing out on
 some crucial protein-drug interactions because of this united atom
 consideration.
 Kindly guide me in this regard.
 Thank you so much once again.

Re: [gmx-users] How to choose bd_fric value in brownian dynamics

2013-05-29 Thread Dr. Vitaly Chaban
According to my understanding, setting friction coefficient is quite a
personal thing. The higher is bd-fric, the smaller are velocities.

Why not to set bd-fric = 0 in order to start with? See manual for details
of how this trick works.

Re: [gmx-users] How to choose bd_fric value in brownian dynamics

2013-05-29 Thread Dr. Vitaly Chaban
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?

I believe the idea is that you should have trajectory file, energy file,
logfile, etc, so that gromacs could append them. If they have non-default
name, you probably should specify them explicitly in the invocation line.

any ideas what the below error message can indicate?

Step 350755:
The charge group starting at atom 44257 moved than the distance allowed by
the domain decomposition (2.745686) in direction Z
distance out of cell 32.799423
Old coordinates:4.7944.2994.356
New coordinates:  -72.747  -69.851   38.291
Old cell boundaries in direction Z:2.7465.491
New cell boundaries in direction Z:2.7465.491


The system is reasonably equilibrated. It is NOT a gas phase. The listed
displacement is NOT possible, according to conventional wisdom. The
question is what can make mdrun say that it happens?

Re: [gmx-users] Charmm27 potential energies.

2013-05-09 Thread Dr. Vitaly Chaban
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.

 Hello,

 I am attempting to generate force-field parameters for a fatty acid
 molecule that contains a carboxilic acid head group. 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.

 Thanks in advance,
 Eric Stokes

 Dear gromacs users,

 I am analyzing trajectories of an ionic liquid system generated using AMBER
 MD package. The force field parameters are typical of this IL system and
 not from the existing libraries. Hence, it is difficult for me to generate
 a tpr file. I understand that running the g_spatial command needs
 pre-processing of the coordinates (Steps 1 and 2 in g_spatial help) but I
 need tpr file for that. So there is  no way of doing g_spatial without a
 tpr file is it? Then how do I generate tpr file for my system?

 Thanks for all the help

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.

 Subject: [gmx-users] simulation single molecule in water

 Dear gromacs users,
 I'm simulating a single molecule in spc water. 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.
 Details of my  mdp file are below :
  Run parameters
 integrator= md; leap-frog integrator
 nsteps= 500; 2 * 500 = 1 ps, 1 ns
 dt= 0.002; 2 fs

 You specified a given time limit for the job, and the run exceeded it.
  Either specify more run time (if allowed) or run your job in shorter

[gmx-users] Re: Water spreading on graphene!

2013-04-21 Thread Dr. Vitaly Chaban
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!! Thanks
 for being helpful always.

  which gives a viscosity of 0.04 kg/(m s), or 40 mPa.s
 
  The value quoted in the paper is about 0.4 mPa.s which is around the
  correct value for water, give or take a bit.
 
  So my question is, where is my missing factor of 100?




Non-equilibrium method for viscosity heavily depends on the acceleration
value. Your selection looks reasonable for me, but try to decrease the
value. Ideal acceleration depends on the particular collective dynamics
in each system, of course.

I can soothe you ability a workability of the utility. It has been tried
many times and works really perfectly.

Re: [gmx-users] Re: How to set the sigma and epsilon for Cu2+ in OPLS-AA/L

  Dear Dr. Vitaly Chaban,

 Thanks very much for your patient and detailed suggestions on this
 problem. Actually, I am doing what your suggested now.
 I optimized the copper-ligand complex using QM method, and then did some
 QM scannings to derive the bond and angle force constants.
 Right now, I am doing the MM scanning using the same coordinates which
 were used in the QM scanning. What we want is that the MM curves
 can reproduce the QM curves.



I think it is simply impossible in your case to reproduce the QM curves.
You neglect charge transfer from copper to the ligand, resulting a chemical
bond formation, you neglect finite T effect in your MD. If you want to
remain in the framework of LJ+Coulomb, the best think you can get is
reproduction of ion-ligand binding energy and more or less adequate
distance ion-closest atom of the ligand




 But some of them agreed well, some of them did not. So I try to tune the
 sigma of the liganded atoms, however,
 it is a little complicated to tune many liganded atoms at the same time. I
 am still trying to work it out.



Start from the sigma for ion-closest atom of the ligand. All other atoms
will adjust automatically, since they are connected all together within the
ligand.

My personal viewpoint, which you may share or not, is not to do anything
with sigmas of other atoms of the ligand. It is best for future portability
to limit refinement to the ion only.




  It seems that you have much experience on such problems, could you please
 give me some suggestions on tuning the sigmas of atoms again?
 Thanks very much in advance!


 All the best,
 Qinghua Liao

 Since then, if I want to set a new atom type and I know its vdw radius,
 so how should I set the sigma for it based on the vdw radius,



  You cannot set the sigma based ONLY on the VDW radius.



  which should be in agreement with OPLS-AA/L force filed? Could you give
 me some suggestions?
 I guess that I have to tune it by myself this time, right? Thanks in
 advance!



  I would do the following:

  1) Optimize ion-ligand complex using ab initio. Write down binding
 energy and optimal distance;
 2) Construct topology for classical MD using approximate sigma;
 3) Calculate energy and distance from classical MD;
 4) Compare them to distance and energy from ab initio;
  5) If you are not satisfied, adjust your sigma;
 6) Repeat classical MD until the difference between ion-ligand distance in
 classical MD becomes reasonably similar to that in ab initio.

  To preserve compatibility with OPLS, use the same level of theory in ab
 initio, which they used when derived OPLS. Keep in mind that their original
 level of theory is not so perfect...

  Dear Dr. Vitaly Chaban,

 Thanks very much again. I am sorry for the unclear, charge transfer was
 also taken into account for the complex, I did not mentioned in the last
 e-mail.

 What do you mean by finite T effect in MD? Kinetics?



I mean thermal motion. You have an optimal structure/energy at 0K in QM. In
MD you want to simulate at higher T, I guess. 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.



 For the reproduction of binding energy, I guess I know how to do it using
 QM method. Simply, I just need to do three single point calculations for
 complex,
 ligands and ion, respectively.



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. You define the charge groups, such
as ion and ligand and look at the interaction between them (g_energy).







  Is my understanding right?

 Thanks for all your explanations and suggestions on this problems!

 the sigma of the liganded atoms, however,
 it is a little complicated to tune many liganded atoms at the same time.
 I am still trying to work it out.



  Start from the sigma for ion-closest atom of the ligand. All other
 atoms will adjust automatically, since they are connected all together
 within the ligand.

  My personal viewpoint, which you may share or not, is not to do anything
 with sigmas of other atoms of the ligand. It is best for future portability
 to limit refinement to the ion only.




  It seems that you have much experience on such problems, could you
 please give me some suggestions on tuning the sigmas of atoms again?
 Thanks very much in advance!


 All the best,
 Qinghua Liao

  Dear Dr. Vitaly Chaban,

 Thanks very much for your patient explanation. Yeah, you are right, that
 is what I want to know: how you tuned this parameter?

 Since then, if I want to set a new atom type and I know its vdw radius,
 so how should I set the sigma for it based on the vdw radius,



  You cannot set the sigma based ONLY on the VDW radius.



  which should be in agreement with OPLS-AA/L force filed? Could you
 give me some suggestions?
 I guess that I have to tune it by myself this time, right? Thanks in
 advance!



  I would do the following:

  1) Optimize ion-ligand complex using ab initio. Write down binding
 energy and optimal distance;
 2) Construct topology for classical MD using approximate sigma;
 3) Calculate energy and distance from classical MD;
 4) Compare them to distance and energy from ab initio;
  5) If you are not satisfied, adjust your sigma;
 6) Repeat classical MD until the difference between ion-ligand distance
 in classical MD becomes reasonably similar to that in ab initio.

  To preserve compatibility with OPLS, use the same level of theory in ab
 initio, which they used when derived OPLS. Keep in mind that their original
 level of theory is not so perfect...

 My complex heterogenous system has DPPC+ Protein+ligand. I have packed
 lipids around protein and ligand using Inflategro method, (APL: 0.79 nm2
 got
 after 24th iteration) followed by adding solvent and neutralize the system
 by adding CL35  NA 39, since my system has -3.999 non zero total charge.
 Then the minimized system has the energy -2.8989 with Max force= 9.58
 converged normally in step 464 step.

 I used lipid constraints in the file DPOSRES_LIPID.itp before NVT


 There is no grompp error and no problem till NVT, after this
 equillibration,
 half of the DPPC along with SOL is no showing in VMD. Could any suggestions
 on this behavior.



I think your particles are still there...

 I've got two GPU workstation both of which have two GTX690 GPU. Now
 I am planning to run Gromacs GPU version and I am just wondering can we
 submit a single GPU jobs in one machine and evoke all GPU resources from
 both machine?


If I were you, I would insert both cards into the same block...

I am not an expert in this question, but intuitively the bandwidth between

If you do not care about the atoms, which are too far away from the region
of interest, is it not reasonable just to cut that useless part? Also,
you may want to look towards implicit solvent simulations.

 Sure, it's basically improving minimization time. if i can focus all my

 can also be possible to run some simulations without the need of a big
 cluster and sort of obtaining about the same results. This goes to my
 interest of harnessing small computing systems for doing all these tasks.
 There are systems like rna molecules where i could get the fine grained
 structure first and then running the entire molecule to obtain the coarser
 structure.

 As someone says it might not improve time but at least having the ability
 to run portions only on my small desktop overnight or just leave it there
 running a lot of this could be accomplished. I do have access to a cluster
 but having to wait in the queue is time that can be used to getting
 somewhere, maybe slower but you're moving.

Dear Qinghua Liao -

In that case, I am just wishing you luck with the copper containing systems.

Are you going to simulate copper-ligand interactions using Coulomb+LJ

Morse potential (additionally) can be of better service?

 There is a copper ion with four ligands in my system. I am going to

 study this system using MD simulations.
 For the vdW parameters, R*=1.74 angstrom and epsilon=1.14 kcal.mol from
 one paper will be used in our
 simulations. I already found the parameters of copper ion (Cu2+) in the
 OPLS-AA/L force field files:
 sigma= 2.08470e-01, epsilon=4.76976e+00, which are for Cu2+ without
 ligands. The two epsilon are the same,
 just with different units.

 My question is that I do not know how to convert the vdW radius to
 sigma. I found that the vdw radius of copper is
 1.4 angstrom, and the sigma in the force field file is 2.08470e-01.
 Could someone tell me how to do the converting?

2013-04-08 Thread Dr. Vitaly Chaban
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).
