[gmx-users] Enterobactin binding to Iron(III)

2013-11-06 Thread Jonathan Saboury
I was told before I would need to use quantum calculations to do this.

What software and method would you suggest to do this?

Thanks.

[gmx-users] Iron(III)Hydroxide complexing with Enterobactin (quantum chemistry calculations?)

2013-10-12 Thread Jonathan Saboury
Hello everybody,

I am sorry to do this, but I only have knowledge in ochem (haven't taken
pchem yet) so reading  Car-Parrinello Molecular Dynamics and searching it
on wikipedia yields no data that I  understand.

So what I'll do to save everyone time is to share what I want to do and ask
if this software can do it, and if not, do you know of any software that
can do this?

My goal is to simulate Iron(III)Hydroxide in a box of water (perhaps
physiological conditions/ions) with Enterobactin, to see if it will form an
iron complex.

Perhaps this is more for a quantum chemistry program? Any that you would
suggest to use?

Thank you for your time.

[gmx-users] Iron(III) Chloride in water

2013-10-08 Thread Jonathan Saboury
I want to simulate Iron(III) Chloride in water (in order to test some iron
sequestering agents).

I've tried to use acpype to generate an iron ion but it errors.

So I used genion and labelled the positive ion FE with charge of 3.
However grompp does not recognize the atom FE.

My question is how would I simulate this?

[gmx-users] Deuterate organic solvent

2013-09-28 Thread Jonathan Saboury
I want to run a simulation of cyclohexane in deuterated chloroform.

I was able to run a sim of cyclohexane in regular chloroform, but unable to
find how to make a solvent deuterated. I know that pdb2gmx has a -heavyh
and -deuterate option, would I do it this way? It isn't a protein and would
assume I would get an error.

I know these sims are based off of newton's laws of motion, and that is
pretty much where my understanding stops. I assume that the hydrogen’s have
a mass of ~1, and that I need to change them to ~2.

I look at the .itp's generated by acpype and all the masses are set to 0
(is this alright?) Note: all [atomtypes] are in cyclohexane_GMX.itp.

Another problem I see happening that the atomtypes are all sharing the same
atomtype, so possibly any sp3 C-H bond is going to be deuterated since they
all share the same definition.

commands: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=jGZV8k2t
cyclohexane_GMX.itp: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Q6MrURmN
chloroform_GMX.itp: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=pAHaUSVv

Entire folder download: http://www.sendspace.com/file/frc1uy

Is there an automatic way to have a specific solvent be deuterated?

Thank you for the help :))

[gmx-users] Funky output trajectory (lines all over the place)

2013-09-23 Thread Jonathan Saboury
I tried minimizing a box of cyclohexanes and water. The first frame is
fine, but after that seemingly random lines form in vmd with the
cyclohexanes. The waters seem to minimizing just fine though.

I am sure I am just doing something extremely silly and I just don't know
it because of ignorance. I have no formal training on simulations, you are
my only hope!

Perhaps using the em.gro with the em.trr is not the correct way to
visualize? I used the command: vmd em.gro em.trr

Or something is wrong with my em.mdp?

Sorry for dumping all of this, but I am genuinely stuck. I've tried reading
about the mdp file format but i only understand ~5%. If I could have done
more I would have tried :/

Thank you all, it is really appreciated.

[gmx-users] Re: gmx-users Digest, Vol 113, Issue 101

2013-09-23 Thread Jonathan Saboury
That said, there is an spc.itp within the AMBER subdirectories that needs
to be
#included more explicitly, i.e. #include amber99sb.ff/spc.itp

May I ask why you are using SPC?  The AMBER force fields were parametrized
with
TIP3P, so I see no viable reason to use a different water model.

Ah, fixed and works like a charm, thank you :)

To be completely honest I was using it out of ignorance. I've just been
checking what has worked for me in tutorials and been working from there to
something I am more interested in.

It's not a bug, because genbox does not advertise such a feature.  genbox
is
hard-coded to only ever deal with water.  Anything else is up to the user.

Interesting, any reason a user would not want such a feature?

Any force field can be parametrized to give correct target data,
especially for
a molecule as simple as cyclohexane.  What I use is a complex question,
because
it depends entirely upon the task at hand :)

Can you list a few so I can go check them out on my own? It would be
appreciated :)

Thank you Justin, I appreciate your time you give helping me :)

[gmx-users] Re: No such moleculetype SOL

2013-09-22 Thread Jonathan Saboury
Then something is wrong with the way you've done it, because the job of
spc.itp
is to define the [moleculetype] SOL and all its relevant parameters.

Hm...not sure what the matter is. Added a forcefield as well as spc.itp to
the .top file made by acpype. Still getting the error Fatal error: No such
moleculetype SOL

Here is a list of commands and explanations of what I did:
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=V5wrRdme
Here is the .top: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=LzCANQZw
Here are the files I am using: http://www.sendspace.com/file/5ps0i1

It is important to note that genbox did not add the amount of cyclohexanes
added to system in the .top (it did do it for the waters though). Perhaps
that is a bug?

You need a parent force field that defines all the bonded and nonbonded
interactions in the system.  Whether or not this is one that comes with
Gromacs
or one you design yourself, you still have to satisfy all of the internal
mechanics (see Chapter 5).  Whether or not there is a protein is completely
irrelevant; force fields do much more than just proteins.

I see, interesting. Added it to the .top :)

Well, PRODRG parameters are pretty low-quality anyway, but it's a
convenient
example for doing a tutorial rather than trying to teach people how to use
other
external software ;)

As you know I am using acpype, is it any better? What do you use?

Thank you for the help Justin, it is extremely appreciated :)

I know SOL is water, and the .top file does not include any sort of .itp

2013-09-21 Thread Jonathan Saboury
Have a look at how Justin's tutorial's .top gets access to a water
topology.

Mark

Thank you very much for the response Mark!

I've looked at his .top and it seems to me that how he included it is by
adding #include spc.itp. I've added that line to cyclohexane.top before
and after the #include cyclohexane.itp with no success (same error as
before).

I also saw that he added a force field. Would I need to do this if I am not
interested in a protein?

I want to avoid using PRODRG because it is online which admins can easy see
what I uploaded. I feel much more comfortable using programs on my system
(the reason I am using acpype).

Thanks again :)

[gmx-users] Significant slowdown in 4.6? (4.6.3)

2013-09-20 Thread Jonathan Saboury
I have a Intel i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00GHz on my laptop with 4.6.3 installed
and a desktop with an i3-3220 with 4.5.5 installed.

I am trying the same energy minimization on each of these machines. My
desktop takes a few seconds, my laptop takes hours. This doesn't make much
sense bc benchmarks indicated that my laptop should be faster.

Only conclusion I can come up with is that it is the difference in
versions. Any other explanations?

Here are the files I am using: http://www.sendspace.com/file/a1cdch

List of commands used are found in: commands.txt

I use the last command mdrun -v -deffnm em on each machine, and the files
were built with 4.6.3 (my laptop).

If you need any more information please let me know.

Thank you!

So I want to simulate this complex. I am having problems with the .itp's

I get the error:

Fatal error:

Last line read:

Here is the logic I used while trying to get teh simulation to work, please
let me know if this is correct, because there wasn't a tutorial example
like this.

1.) Separate the complexed pdb into teh standard residues and ligands, so
ATOM, HEM, NAG and S58in this case.

2.) There are multiple ligands in the pdb, so I need to delete all but one
molecule and create a forcefield .itp so I can include it in the .top file.

3.) Once the .itp's for the single molecules are created, you need to put
the complex back together. I was having problems with adding charges, so I
only added hydrogen’s to the ligands and created complex.pdb from the new
pdb files created from acpype.

4.) Minimize, relax waters, then simulate.

So what did I do wrong here? Thanks!! :)

[gmx-users] Limitations of simulations?

2013-07-24 Thread Jonathan Saboury
For the rest of us mere mortals who don't have access to specialized hardware
that allows for 10- or 20-microsecond simulations, the brute force approach is
rather futile.  Techniques like steered MD and Hamiltonian replica exchange MD
are probably more feasible.  Unbiased simulations of sufficient length, using
standard supercomputing hardware, would probably take years.

-Justin


Do you think implicit water with 10-20 ligands would be able to do it?
I see that the gpu accelerated implicit gets about 100-150 ns/day so a
10-20 day simulation would yield that time frame, no?

Thanks :)

2013-07-24 Thread Jonathan Saboury
In an implicit, non-periodic system, it is more likely that the ligand
will
float away from the protein.  I've tried it and that's all that ever
happens.
Moreover, the current Gromacs version does not support implicit solvent on
GPU
and the previous version that did had very limited functionality.

-Justin


Hm, I am probably completely wrong about this, but can you do implicit
solvent and Periodic Box Conditions?

If so, does it give similar ns/day?

[gmx-users] Limitations of simulations?

2013-07-23 Thread Jonathan Saboury
I just finished this tutorial and found it very informative:
http://cinjweb.umdnj.edu/~kerrigje/pdf_files/trp_drug_tutor.pdf

However, This was based on a complex from a pdb.

I was wondering if it was possible to just simulate the protein without
complex and put the ligand as a solute and actually have it complex with
the protein. Obviously, if it could do this it would take a much longer
time than just simulating a complex, but if given enough time, could it
complex?

I have no formal experience with simulations and currently have no one
around me with enough knowledge on these topic to mentor me, so any help is
very much appreciated!

Thank you! :)
