Hi,

We used the gromos43a1 force fied, and the .mdp with minimization parameters
with no restraints or exclusions were:

title   =  Yo
cpp =  /lib/cpp
define  =  -DFLEX
constraints =  all-bonds
integrator  =  md
tinit   =  
dt  =  0.0005   ; ps !
nsteps  =  200  ; total 0-1000 ps.
nstcomm =  1
nstxout =  250
nstvout =  1000
nstfout =  0
nstlog  =  100
nstenergy   =  100
nstlist =  10
ns_type =  grid
coulombtype =  PME
rlist   =  0.9
rcoulomb=  0.9
rvdw=  0.9
fourierspacing  =  0.12
optimize_fft=  yes
pme_order   =  4
ewald_rtol  =  1e-5
; Berendsen temperature coupling is on in four groups
Tcoupl  =  berendsen
tc-grps =  Protein_1 Protein_2 gli_1 gli_2 gli_3 gli_4 gli_5 CA+
tau_t   =  0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1
ref_t   =  50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50
; Energy monitoring
energygrps  =  Protein_1 Protein_2 gli_1 gli_2 gli_3 gli_4 gli_5 CA+
; Isotropic pressure coupling is now on
Pcoupl  =  berendsen
Pcoupltype  =  isotropic
tau_p   =  0.5
compressibility =  4.5e-5
ref_p   =  1.0
; Generate velocites is off at 100 K.
gen_vel =  yes
gen_temp=  10.0
gen_seed=  173529

This .mdp file works fine without water, but when we include "sol" the
simulation explodes, too.
The tc-grps in this case are a glycoprotein (protein-1, gli_1, gli_2, gli_3,
gli_4 and gli_5) and a secondary protein (protein-2).

thank you again,

[gmx-users] Simulation explodes (protein-ligand-protein)

2010-05-13 Thread Giovana Bergamini

Hi!
We have a problem with a protein-ligand-protein simulation. It is a somewhat
large system (approx. 360 amino acid residues with approx. 70 monosaccharides),
that requires a larger box for proper simulation.
We used exclusions (especifically for the problematic atoms) and restrictions
(tested values of 5000, 2000, 1000 - for backbone and for monosaccharides),
both combined and individually, and when they were kept for the entire
simulation, it went just fine. But when these restrictions and exclusions were
removed, the glycan portion, that isn’t connected to any of the proteins
“explodes”.
Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance,
