[gmx-users] Placing a peptide above aqueous phase of bilayer

2009-02-24 Thread Nikit sharan
Dear users,

I want to place the peptide above aqueous phase  of the bilayer.I have
gone throught the mailing list and read the manual also, but since am
a beginner to gromacs it will be very helpful if someone could mail me
the commands  to insert peptide above bilayer.I understood that it can
be done with the combination of editconf and genbox.Please let me know
the options to be included in these commands.

[gmx-users] MD parameters for DPPC bilayer

2009-02-23 Thread Nikit sharan
dear users,

Can anyone send me the Md parameters(.mdp file) for dppc molecule with
12lipids and 3655 water molecules that worked without any errors like
"pressure scaling not more than 1%" and more?It will be very helpful
as i will check out that with my mdp file.

Thanks in advance

[gmx-users] segmentation fault after mdrun

2009-02-23 Thread Nikit sharan
Dear justin,

As you suggested i have changed the coloumb type to PME and set
pme_order to 5 as  said in the mailing list as it will increase the
accuracy.But then the simulation is not getting completed.Its taking
hours together.Normally what's the running time for a lipid bilayer?I
dint find anything wrong with the topology as it is downloaded from
tielman's website.it is also well equilibriated.Kindly give me your
suggestions.My mdp.file is below:

[gmx-users] segmentation fault after mdrun

2009-02-21 Thread Nikit sharan
Hello sir,

Thanks for your suggestion.Then as u suggested i start the work from
scratch and did the equilibriation  again, there is nothing wrong with
the topology also because it was taken from tiemann's website.The only
message that it gives after equlibriation run is

"Steepest Descents converged to machine precision in 159 steps,
but did not reach the requested Fmax < 1e-05.
Potential Energy  = -3.3737231e+05
Maximum force =  2.6356035e+03 on atom 4665
Norm of force =  1.2290095e+04"

do i have to upgrade to double precision for simuating dppc
bilayer?but many of them worked fine with single precision alone.


When i proceded with the production run, again either its not giving
run with 5 steps or when i reduced step from 5 to 50 to check
what's the output then it gives me an error saying "

Warning: pressure scaling more than 1%, mu: 1.12479 1.12479 1.00476

Back Off! I just backed up step7018.pdb to ./#step7018.pdb.1#
Wrote pdb files with previous and current coordinates
Segmentation fault "

since its giving an error with pressure scaling, the parameter that i
need to adjust is ref_p??by default i said that to 1.0?Now what value
i have to change.


I willl be really thanful if you have a look at the segmentation fault also.

[gmx-users] Error after Mdrun

2009-02-20 Thread Nikit sharan
Dear all,

   I need some help in my simulation. I Put system(dppc bilayer) in a
cubic box then solvated it and made a equlibriation run.There were no
issues till then.But when i proceded  with the production run , the
simulation crashes in no more than 5 or 10 steps leaving an error
message saying ,

"Fatal error: Number of grid cells is zero. Probably the system and box
collapsed"

 And there are warnings like:

  1-4 interactions between 1163 and 1184 at distance 1.026 which is
larger than the 1-4 table size 1 nm, This usually means your system is
exploding.

 Warning: pressure scaling more than 1%, mu: 2.31762e+27 2.31762e+27 2.31762e+27


I tried to increase the table size but as I increased this value
the distance always increased together, and I got again the same
warning with different values,  so this didn´t help. I tried energy
minimization further but there also it ends up with

"Steepest Descents converged to machine precision in 166 steps,
but did not reach the requested Fmax < 1e-05.
Potential Energy  = -3.4207141e+05
Maximum force =  5.0177407e+03 on atom 5265
Norm of force =  1.3222472e+04

 am getting the energy in a low negative value and also I have already
gone through the mailing list regarding the same issue.But i couldn't
get it clear.

   I am still a begginer in Gromacs, and I really don´t know what
could bethe reason for these errors... It is also the first time that
I am dealing
with molecular dynamics simulation. Someone wrote me that it could
besomething related to topologies, but i really couldn´t find where
the error
was. So I ask for your kindness help. Suggestions and advices will be
welcome,

i
