Re: [gmx-users] OPLS with Water models

2011-04-14 Thread Jianhui Tian
Hi Justin,

Thanks for the reply and the reference.
I knew that I am asking for a broad question.
OPLS will work for my protein problem. The reason why I am asking the
question is to know how diffirent water models work for OPLS and is there
any comparison work done for it. The reference you mentioned helps in some
way.
I will read more to teach myself about this broad question.

Well, there's this one that endorses SPC/E for several properties:

http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/jp0641029

What you've asked is extremely broad.  Different force fields and solvent
models
can be combined in a number of ways to measure various quantities.  It all
comes
down to what you're hoping to measure.  Is it protein conformational
sampling?
Reproducing NMR signals?  Hydration energies or other thermodynamic
properties?
 Then there's the complication of whether or not OPLS-AA is inherently the
best
choice to represent your protein for these endeavors.  There has been a
wealth
of recent literature on force field comparisons for protein dynamics, as
well.

 Possibly, but without seeing what you used for input, information about

In the electrons.dat file, I had

I am running a replica simulation and the job crashed with the following
message:

File input/output error:
Cannot rename checkpoint file; maybe you are out of quota?

From the mailling list, I see this might be a permission problem. However, I
checked the file permission and nothing wrong was noticed.
If I rerun the crashed simulation, it goes through the second time. This
seems strong. Any suggestion is welcomed.

I am interested in using CHARMM c36 force field in Gromacs. I wrote a script

After that, I compared the energy terms from Gromacs and NAMD. The bond,

However, there are big difference for VDW energy terms. Does anyone have any

Hi,

In the rtp file of Gromacs version 4.5-beta3, the dihedral function type for
proper dihedrals is 9. However, I can't find any documentation about the
function form of this function type.
Also, you can add multiple dihedral potentials for one dihedral term
explicitly in the rtp file.
The term is:

[ dihedrals ] ; optional
;atom1 atom2 atom3 atom4 phi0 cp mult

What is the function form here?

topology formats: GROMOS, GROMACS and  from literature if you can find out

Gromos building blocks are quite transferable between different molecules.
Compare a few sugars - the parameters are nearly identical.  That is one of
the
central features of this particular force field, that functional group
charges
should be as versatile as possible.

As for the lipids, there are new versions of 53A6 (which I believe have been
uploaded to the Gromacs site) that perform substantially better than the
built-in parameters.  The long acyl chains are not particularly accurate in
the
default 53A6.

Re: [gmx-users] multiple processor running of gromacs-4.0.4

2009-10-20 Thread Jianhui Tian
Hi Mark,

You are right that treating electrostatics and vdw without cutoff and use
multiple processors to speed up doesn't make any sense.
Using cutoff for electrostatics and vdw without using pbc and pme, the
system can't run on parallel (using flag -pd doesn't work either), but works
on single node.
Using cutoff for electrostatics and vdw with pbc and pme, the system can run
on parallel.
Thanks for the clarifications.

Those messages are generic failure messages from the MPI system. The
stack trace therein suggests you should read the stderr and/or log file
to get some diagnostic information from GROMACS. Possibly your system is
blowing up because you've started from an unsuitable configuration.

 There are some of my guesses for the possible reason of the error:
 1. Do we have to use pbc and pme to use multiple processors for
simulation?

Wouldn't think so. However because you have no cut-offs, there will be
no advantage to DD because there is no data locality - every processor
needs the position of every atom. mdrun -pd may work. It strikes me as
possible that this scenario doesn't work in parallel on GROMACS.

 2. Can wen use restraints when use multiple processors?

Yes.

 3. If a molecule is divided into two parts in domain decomposition,
 will this be a problem for simulation?

No, that's routine.

Mark

 Thanks for any suggestion about this error message.

[gmx-users] Large fullerene ball simulations

2009-10-15 Thread Jianhui Tian
Hi,

I want to do some simulation about large fullerene balls. I searched the
website and searched the mailing list. The largest fullerene ball I can get
is C2160. But I want some larger ones like C3840 or so. Does anyone have any
information about the coordinates and topology of large fullerene balls.
Thanks.

but the time-step is small then.

[gmx-users] Coulomb 1-4 interactions

2006-09-08 Thread Jianhui Tian
Hi gmx-users:

I am running a comparison between AMBER and Gromacs for a AOT system. First I createdthe AMBER force field and then transformed it to Gromacs force field. I did 1 step of MDrespectively in AMBER and Gromacs with the same configuration. All the energy terms including bond, angle, dihedral, LJ (SR), LJ (14) and Coulomb (SR) arethe samewith each otherbetween the two runs except the Coulomb(14) interaction. What might be the reason for this? I have totally no idea. Because the LJ (14) and Coulomb(14) calculation use the same 1-4 pairs in Gromacs, the LJ (14)is the same which means the 1-4 pairs are the same between AMBER and Gromacs. The Coulomb (SR) is the same which means the charges are the same between AMBER and Gromacs. (I also checked these two things explicitly between AMBER and Gromacs.) How could the Coulomb (14) be different then? Does any one have any idea about how the coulomb (14) interactions are calculated in AMBER and Gromacs? Thanks a lot.

Justin

Re: [gmx-users] Questions about water in Gromacs

2006-08-24 Thread Jianhui Tian
Hi,

Thank you for the suggestions.
The water numbers should be fine. Becuase I can run the same system in AMBER ok. I have done minimization. And the system explodes during the equilibrium process.

I compared the energy of different component between AMBER and Gromacs. For all these components,BOND energy always has big difference for the same component between AMBER ang Gromacs. While the ANGLE, DIHEDRAL andLJ etcare consistent with each other.I can't figure out why.


Thanks.

[gmx-users] Questions about water in Gromacs

2006-08-23 Thread Jianhui Tian
Dear gmx-users:

I am now studying a reverse micelle system using Gromacs. The system is like this: Isooctane outside, AOT reverse micelle in the center and water core inside the reverse micelle. I didn't use standard Gromacs force field, instead I am using a force field transferred from CHARMM following the *.itp format. 


The problem is like this: when you run the MD, the AOT reverse micelle will explode instead of holding there as a reverse micelle and the water core seems to be distributed evenly in the system. I checked the force field to make sure there is nothing wrong with it. I wonder whether the problem is caused because water molecules are labelledasSOL in gromacs, so the water tends to be uniformally distributed. Does the label SOL just a label or it is really treated as solvent? 


Thank you very much.

Best regards,
Justin
