[gmx-users] No Distribution?

2013-11-02 Thread Xu Dong Huang
Dear All,

My martini system has 3 particles in a chain, rest is martini water, and I’m 
only interested in the bond length distribution of particle 12, 13 and 23, 
and I execute the following: 
g_bond -f npt.xtc -n index.ndx -o bonds.xvg

I get the following error: 
Total number of samples   : 153
Mean  : 0.501255
Standard deviation of the distribution: 0.152864
Standard deviation of the mean: 0.0123583

Back Off! I just backed up bonds.xvg to ./#bonds.xvg.1#

---
Program g_bond, VERSION 4.5.5
Source code file: gmx_bond.c, line: 207

Fatal error:
No distribution... (i0 = 999, i1 = 1)? ? ! ! ? !
For more information and tips for troubleshooting, please check the GROMACS
website at http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Errors
 
Upon inspecting my index files, I see that it defines my 3 particle group as:
[ O1 ]
   123 

Then I changed the particle group index file to 
[ O1 ]
   12
   23
   13

And I’m still getting the same error. 

Any insights?

Thanks,

Xu Huang

@ Gromacs users,

so I did g_dist , and I’m confused by a couple of things. 1) why is it asking 
me for 2 groups? I have my particles of interest under 1 type, namely [ O1 ] 1  
  23, and nothing else. 2) I just picked the same group twice, and the 
result is gives me in xvg is the following
There are no distances measured, that cannot be right. 

   0.0000.0000.0000.0000.000
  20.0000.0000.0000.0000.000

 Use g_dist instead and measure the distances manually.  g_analyze can then 
 produce a distribution of those data.

 No.  If you want three different distances, you need three groups, as I said 
 in my previous message, and I even wrote the exact index file for you.

[gmx-users] No group in index file?

2013-10-31 Thread Xu Dong Huang
Dear all.

Since I am interested in finding the average angle, dihedrals in my system, I 
attempted to use g_angle, but then I realized I need to make index file using 
mk_angndx,

I issued the following:
mk_angndx -s npt.tpr -n angle.ndx

and then i used g_angle -f not.xtc -n angle.ndx -ov angle.xvg -noperiodic -type 
angle 

and then I get the following error: 
Fatal error:
Error: no groups in indexfile

How can my index file not have the groups in there? How can I go about fixing 
this

Any insight can be appreciated

Thanks,

Dear all,

so after I opened angle.ndx file in a text editor, the file appears to be 
blank. How can I properly make a index file since the command I issued seems to 
produce a blank index file? Is there something wrong with my input regarding 
npt.tpr? 

Thanks for your input,

Re: [gmx-users] No group in index file?

2013-10-31 Thread Xu Dong Huang
@ Justin,

That doesn’t sound very good. I tried it as he suggested using make_ndx, it 
seems to work, but it’s not reporting the result I want. When I use g_angle 
using the index i created, I chose the group I want to assess (My compound is 
very simple in Martini, it’s only represented by 3 atoms) and it reports back 
to me 1 angle value. However, I wish to assess the angle between atom 1  2, 
23 and 13. How should I go about achieving that? 

Thanks,

 Dear Xu,
 you have to use the make_ndx option if I'm not wrong.
 The syntax should be make_ndx -f xxx.gro -o index.ndx
 
 make_ndx is not particularly useful for angles.  To get it to recapitulate 
 the function of mk_angndx, it's as much work as writing the index file by 
 hand.

Re: [gmx-users] No group in index file?

2013-10-31 Thread Xu Dong Huang
@ Justin,

I did not define [angles] in the topology but I do have the angles result from 
All-atom run using OPLS forcefield. The reason for me not to include it in 
MARTINI forcefield topology is because I wanted to see if it will produce 
similar angle result of atom 12, 13 and 23 in martini water since the 
behavior of particle types I chose for my 3 atoms are well defined by martini 
at this point. My interest is to find for which force constant K value will the 
martini model match the all-atom model using OPLS. 

And you’re right, sorry, I got confused about the angles, there should only be 
1. However, even the angle value I received doesn’t match the traditional 
all-atom result. 

What will happen if I define the [angles] part with the angles I received from 
traditional simulation? Because ultimately I am trying to find the k value 
parameter that will make the 3 particle display an angle similar to traditional 
run.

 If you have 3 atoms/particles, there can be only one angle, by definition.
 
 Do you have an [angles] directive in the topology?  That's how mk_angndx 
 parses the .tpr file - by creating groups of similar angles based on theta 
 and ktheta.  If your model doesn't specify any angle potential, then 
 mk_angndx will bail out and return nothing, though it should probably do that 
 in a more elegant way than producing an empty file.

And for the equilibrium angle, what is the approximate range I can define it to 
be? Say target is 90 degrees, should I define maybe 130 and let it oscillate? I 
guess question is how far is too far off?

Thanks,

 @ Justin,
 
 I did not define [angles] in the topology but I do have the angles result
 from All-atom run using OPLS forcefield. The reason for me not to include it
 in MARTINI forcefield topology is because I wanted to see if it will produce
 similar angle result of atom 12, 13 and 23 in martini water since the
 behavior of particle types I chose for my 3 atoms are well defined by martini
 at this point. My interest is to find for which force constant K value will
 the martini model match the all-atom model using OPLS.
 
 And you’re right, sorry, I got confused about the angles, there should only
 be 1. However, even the angle value I received doesn’t match the traditional
 all-atom result.
 
 What will happen if I define the [angles] part with the angles I received
 from traditional simulation? Because ultimately I am trying to find the k
 value parameter that will make the 3 particle display an angle similar to
 traditional run.
 
 
 If you define an equilibrium angle for 1-2-3, it will oscillate harmonically 
 around that value, with the distribution determined by the value of k.  I 
 suspect that is how you can tune the parameters, by matching the 
 distributions produced in the two simulations rather than a single target 
 value, because with the angle defined in the topology, you're sort of 
 predetermining the outcome.

[gmx-users] probability distribution of bond distance/length

2013-10-31 Thread Xu Dong Huang
Dear all,

I would like to assess the probability distribution of particle bond 
distance/length over the entire run, specifically I want to collect possibly a 
histogram representation or even a regular plot. Would using g_bond be the 
correct way to obtain the probability distribution? Or is there another 
function that gets probability distribution specifically. Also, if using 
g_bond, it will give me an average (I suppose), so how can I get a 
histogram/data series representation? (I do not want to visualize this result 
using xmgrace)

P.S I believe someone earlier suggested a link to the data collection reporting 
procedure, I tried it and changed the .xvg to a .csv, but the data reported in 
excel format all belongs to 1 single column, which won’t let me make a plot. 

Any insight is appreciated it.

[gmx-users] Obtaining trajectory coordinates at all dt

2013-10-28 Thread Xu Dong Huang
Hello,

I have couple objectives as part of an analysis of my simulated system. And I 
would like some opinions on the tools to use to achieve it. 

I have the following interest in my system:
1) Find the probability distribution (density) of bond angle on my molecule 
between (i.e atom 12, 2,3 , 13, etc) as a function of time step, essentially, 
the equilibrium angle. [would I use g_chi for such analysis? ]
2) I want the above result in an excel spreadsheet, is there a way to obtain it 
as a spreadsheet? Or I can only get a plot representation as a function of time?

Please share your expertise and opinions. 

Thank you. 

Xu Huang

[gmx-users] concenating cpt or not required?

Dear gromacs users,

I just realized that even after trying to re-start a run, i still got separate 
name files (idk why), but I managed to combine err, xtc files, but don't know 
how to bring 2 .cpt files together, or is it not required? I'm trying to do NPT 
run next, and it will -t *.cpt, but I don't know if it matters that I don't 
have the 1st half, I only have the .cpt from restart run. 

Please let me know,

 If you're getting files named -s.* as output, then what you typed above was 
 not your command.  Always copy and paste.
 
 Likely, your mdrun line was mdrun -deffnm -s ..., in which case, the .tpr 
 file name is simply ignored and the file name prefix was set as -s, as your 
 output would indicate.

 Appending is the default behavior of mdrun, if invoked properly and the files 
 haven't been messed with.  If not, trjcat appends trajectories and eneconv 
 appends energy files.

[gmx-users] I can't figure out what is wrong with my .gro

2013-01-09 Thread Xu Dong Huang
Dear all, 

I created this .gro file following the gromacs format. But when I load it into 
VMD, it doesn't show the structure or molecule, and I have made many .gro 
before this one, and learned from many mistakes, but for this one, I don't know 
what I did wrong. I still proceeded to do simulation anyway and when I do 
energy minimization, I get an error of infinite normal force and etc (which I 
read past gmx list question that an atom is severely overlapping and causing 
the complication). Since I can't even view the .gro structure i made in VMD, 
I'm going to go ahead and assume there is something wrong with my initial 
structure to begin with, but I don't know where.

 The last line of the .gro file (box vectors) does not end in a newline 
 character.  I discovered this by running:
 
 wc -l star.gro
 
 which returned 103, which would indicate that there should be 100 atoms in 
 addition to a title line, number of atoms, and box vectors.  Since there are 
 101 listed atoms, I knew there was a problem, likely with the last line.  
 Adding a newline character allows the structure to be opened in VMD.

 The thing you get when you press enter.
 
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline#In_programming_languages
 
 Note that Google has plenty more to say ;)
 
 There should not be a blank line at the end of the .gro file, though, but to 
 be correctly parsed by VMD, the line must terminate with a '\n' character.  
 So at the end of your box vector line, hit return then backspace.

@Justin,

I did what you suggested, and I still can't load my molecule in VMD. Maybe I am 
still doing something wrong with the new line character thing.

 The thing you get when you press enter.

 Note that Google has plenty more to say ;)
 
 There should not be a blank line at the end of the .gro file, though, but to 
 be correctly parsed by VMD, the line must terminate with a '\n' character.  
 So at the end of your box vector line, hit return then backspace.

Re: [gmx-users] EM error

2013-01-09 Thread Xu Dong Huang
Everytime I remove the atom that is causing the INF force, it gives me new atom 
that causes INF force. (The ones that come up are all water beads that are 
causing the infinite force), does that mean when i did genbox it inserted water 
incorrectly? (Because I viewed it in VMD it's certainly not overlapping with 
my solute. )

[gmx-users] after NVT run, molecule becomes dispersed/ loose

2013-01-05 Thread Xu Dong Huang
Dear users,

I have a defined polymer .gro file and I ran energy minimization on it. 
However, when I attempt to run NVT on the polymer in a vacuum (box, no 
solvent), and I view the output .gro and trajectory in VMD, I see that my 
polymer is no longer a star, the beads are flying in every random direction, no 
beads are in bond connection as they should be. Any insight into why my polymer 
blew up in vacuum? (please let me know what kind of additional information 
you'd like to see)

Thanks,

 At minimum, you need to post the contents of your topology and .mdp file. 
 Without that information, no one can make any assessment of what's going on. 
 Images of the starting and ending configurations can also be useful.

Re: [gmx-users] after NVT run, molecule becomes dispersed/ loose

2013-01-05 Thread Xu Dong Huang
@Justin,

actually. After a second thought and closer examination in VMD using RESTYPE 
differentiation, maybe this is the correct output because 95% of the beads 
shown are hydrophobic  so they probably like to clump together after 10 
time step …. I'm going to shorten my nstep in MD and see if I get a less 
clumped structure. 

Thank you Justin, and sorry for the impulsive question. 
I'll let you know if there is a further problem.

Re: [gmx-users] after NVT run, molecule becomes dispersed/ loose

2013-01-05 Thread Xu Dong Huang
@Justin,

Yeah I allowed the NVT to run for way too long. Therefore I get a super clumped 
structure. (Where as I only wanted a slightly clumped structure). I reduced the 
nsteps to about 3000 from 100 thousand to achieve my desired structure.

Thanks for the support.

[gmx-users] g_gyrate

2013-01-05 Thread Xu Dong Huang
Dear gromac users,

If I wish to measure the distance from 1 end of my polymer to the other end, 
would it be valid to use g_gyrate? Even so, does that report just the radius, 
hence the function name radius of gyration?

[gmx-users] Unusual processing time

2013-01-03 Thread Xu Dong Huang
Dear gromac users,

I submitted my NPT run into a MPI cluster. The size of my run system is an 
85x85x85 box filled with water solvent. and I set NPT steps to be 100 
(1million) with dt 0.02. The log says It will finish sometime in mid or towards 
end of february. 

Is that normal for a NPT run of that size? Or am I just faced with slow 
technology. Or am I doing something wrong (I requested 6 cores for my run) 
Please let me know, thanks.

Re: [gmx-users] MPI segmentation Fault

2013-01-02 Thread Xu Dong Huang
Dear gromac users,

after examining my nvt run outcome, I see that my molecule has half of the arm 
stuck outside of the box (I guess my run wasn't very successful). But I thought 
the jumping outside of the box would be corrected by periodic boundary? Should 
I run my nvt for longer since the structure itself did not seem to change much 
in the solute? (My initial 
Xu Dong Huangnvt nstep=1, should I increase it to resolve the problem? if 
that resolves the problem at all that is)

Thanks for any input,

 There is no outside of a periodic cell, so this is a non-problem.  Was the

 the problem with NPT.  You haven't posted any .mdp files, which is another

Dear Justin,

I will try your suggestion to rerun it on Berendsen coupling and see if there 
is any further problems. The system indeed contain the star shaped structure I 
showed you earlier (running multiple versions, containing from 1, 5, 10, 15 and 
20 stars in a solvent box), the solvent is just martini defined water system. 
The first 50 beads of all 4 arms has hydrophobic interaction with the Water 
solvent. and the last 5 remaining beads on all 4 arms are set to have extreme 
similar hydrophilic interaction with martini water bead.

[gmx-users] Linear CG beads, grompp doesn't work

I am trying to simulate a long linear chain of polymer using CG beads. (about

Re: [gmx-users] Linear CG beads, grompp doesn't work

2013-01-01 Thread Xu Dong Huang
Dear Justin,

My .itp does not contain angles or dihedrals because we are simply interested 
in the very simple generic case of a linear (what we assume by defining a 
coordinate file of linear beads) polymer model. I will go through the tutorial 
and try to see if it resolves my issue.

 It's the angles that make the system unstable.  One can use virtual sites to 
 get around the issue.  There is a trivial example in a tutorial I wrote:
 
 http://www.bevanlab.biochem.vt.edu/Pages/Personal/justin/gmx-tutorials/vsites/index.html
 
 The bigger question is whether or not the angles in the molecule impose 
 linearity, or whether the initial configuration is simply a line of particles 
 that may deviate according to angle and dihedral potentials.  You haven't 
 shown the [angles] or [dihedrals] directives, so it's not clear what you're 
 intending, exactly.

 Do as the error message says and put fewer than 32 atoms in each charge 
 group. The size of the charge group has implications for neighbor searching 
 if using a group-based cutoff scheme.

Re: [gmx-users] Linear CG beads, grompp doesn't work

2013-01-01 Thread Xu Dong Huang
@Justin,

Does the philosophy described in your tutorial apply to CG martini bead models 
where 1 bead describes the entire CO2 atom? (If I were to do that, assuming)

 Dear Justin,
 
 My .itp does not contain angles or dihedrals because we are simply interested 
 in the very simple generic case of a linear (what we assume by defining a 
 coordinate file of linear beads) polymer model. I will go through the 
 tutorial and try to see if it resolves my issue.

 Dear advanced gromac users,
 
 I am trying to simulate a long linear chain of polymer using CG beads. 
 (about 200 beads), all with same type charge interactions. (examples

 same charges make the system unstable? But is there anyway to go around 
 that?
 
 
 It's the angles that make the system unstable.  One can use virtual sites to 
 get around the issue.  There is a trivial example in a tutorial I wrote:
 
 http://www.bevanlab.biochem.vt.edu/Pages/Personal/justin/gmx-tutorials/vsites/index.html
 
 The bigger question is whether or not the angles in the molecule impose 
 linearity, or whether the initial configuration is simply a line of 
 particles that may deviate according to angle and dihedral potentials.  You 
 haven't shown the [angles] or [dihedrals] directives, so it's not clear what 
 you're intending, exactly.

 Do as the error message says and put fewer than 32 atoms in each charge

[gmx-users] editconf not centering, and it is cutting off my molecule

2012-12-31 Thread Xu Dong Huang
Dear advanced gromacs users,

I have created an arbitrary molecule .gro file containing coordinates of my 
martini-beads. basically, there are 50 beads sitting on each axis of (x,y, -x 
and -y) forming like a cross. (Each bead with distance 0.43). However, when I 
try to use editconf on my .gro file to generate a box (editconf -f star.gro -o 
star_box.gro -c -d 1.0 -bt cubic) , it gives me back a new .gro file with a bad 
molecule. In VMD viewing, I see that the negative axis part of my molecules are 
cut off. Closer inspection shows the following for a particular segment of the 
molecule coordinates: 

**original .gro coordinates:

Notice the jump on atom number 174 and 175, why is there a sudden coordinate 
jump? 
All i can see in VMD is my negative axis part of the molecule beads are cut 
off. 

Any input is appreciated. Thank you!

Dear Justin,

(here is the picture of the molecule after editconf, note the negative x and 
negative y axis is missing the rest of the beads that is suppose to be like the 
positive x and positive y)

*Even though according to the .gro coordinates, those beads of 175 and up are 
jumped, i don't see the relocated beads anyhow in this VMD viewing. I'm so 
confused of what is happening.

 editconf builds boxes from the coordinate origin so that there are never 
 negative coordinates.  It should be able to deal with those coordinates, 
 equally shifted, which it appears they were.  Can you provide images of 
 what's going on?  I don't clearly understand what's wrong.  What do you mean 
 by cut off? Nonexistent?  Incorrectly placed?

Another reason why I think my .gro is valid is that when I editconf, it says: 
Read 201 atoms …blah blah blah.. , as it should I'm assuming if the .gro is 
valid? 

Please let me know, thank you.

 Another reason why I think my .gro is valid is that when I editconf, it 
 says: Read 201 atoms …blah blah blah.. , as it should I'm assuming if the 
 .gro is valid?
 
 Please let me know, thank you.
 
 
 Yes, those files should be fine.  Can you send me the two coordinate files 
 (off-list) so I can investigate what's going on?

[gmx-users] genbox -nmol, atoms removed

2012-12-31 Thread Xu Dong Huang
Dear Advanced Gromacs users,

I'm trying to generate a solvated system with 1 solute (In my case 3). I do 
genbox -cp polymer.gro -nmol 2 -ci polymer.gro -cs water.gro -o 
polymer_solv.gro -p polymer.top 

My polymer molecule contains 201 atoms. box size 45x45x45

and it generates a system with the following messages: 

Found 1 molecule type:
  W (   1 atoms): 4259200 residues
Calculating Overlap...
box_margin = 0.315
Removed 0 atoms that were outside the box
Neighborsearching with a cut-off of 0.315
Table routines are used for coulomb: FALSE
Table routines are used for vdw: FALSE
Cut-off's:   NS: 0.315   Coulomb: 0.315   LJ: 0.315
System total charge: 0.000
Grid: 254 x 254 x 254 cells
Successfully made neighbourlist
nri = 1851, nrj = 1983
Checking Protein-Solvent overlap: tested 867 pairs, removed 277 atoms.
Checking Solvent-Solvent overlap: tested 1100 pairs, removed 0 atoms.
Added 4258923 molecules
Generated solvent containing 4258923 atoms in 4258923 residues
Writing generated configuration to star_solv.gro
star polymer

Output configuration contains 4259727 atoms in 4258971 residues
Volume :  512000 (nm^3)
Density: 2539.37 (g/l)
Number of SOL molecules:  0   

**My problem is, the output configuration contains unequal amount of atoms and 
residues, and when I do the subtraction, the difference is the exact amount of 
atom of my original polymer molecule. (I'm assuming genbox removed my molecule 
out of the box)
-How can I prevent that from happening? So that I can put as many additional 
polymer in the solvated system as I want? 

Thanks,

 You're doing too much at once.  Run the -ci -nmol options in one step, then 
 solvate with -cs.  You can also specify exact starting positions for each 
 individual molecule with editconf -center, which may be a more foolproof 
 solution for complex systems.  As I recall, -ci has issues with multi-residue 
 molecules, but perhaps that's an old issue and is no longer relevant.
