[gmx-users] trajectory analysis
Dear All, I want to ask some questions about trajectory analysis. I have some md simulation output files that includes coordinate, force and velocity information. And these files are huge ( more than 5 GB ) . Could you please recommend a free text editor which works on Linux or Windows to open and editthese huge files? And I will run these files with fortran codes and get again huge output files . In order to do this operation faster and seamlessly what should I do ? Which facilities do I have on pc ? Could you please share your experiences with me ? Thanks for any help.

Is it possible to continue a NAMD simulation in Gromacs ? If so, could you please give me the information about this process ? Not really. You would need to generate a .top in the normal way, and this process cannot use any topology information that NAMD was using. You could start the GROMACS simulation from the endpoint of the NAMD simulation, but it would not be continuous in any sense. We have a patch to psfgen to generate gromacs topology. We plan to put this on our website. While it hasn't be uploaded yet, please write me in case you would like to have a copy. It does convert the parameter files. We use Pär's scripts to do that part. Secondly can I convert NAMD output files into gromacs output files and use gromacs analysis tools ? Could you please also give me the information about this issue ? If you have VMD installed then GROMACS is supposed to be able to link to its libraries to enable GROMACS tools to read any file format that VMD can read, which will include all NAMD formats. I'm unaware that anybody has written any documentation about this, however. That's probably the path of least resistance. Yes as long as VMD is installed (and GROMACS is compiled with DLOPEN support - which is default) all the GROMACS tools automatically can read most VMD supported format. The exception is any format which doesn't record the number of atoms (as e.g. Amber).

What you want is to do is to create .itp files for each individual molecule type in your system. This will probably have to be done by hand if you want to use OPLS-AA. Depending on the complexity of your molecule, you may be able to use an .rtp entry, but I would suggest processing a single molecule of this type with pdb2gmx to create a .top for that molecule (which can be converted to a .itp for later use). Do not use the Gromacs force field (ffgmx); it is deprecated and should not be used for new simulations. Use a newer Gromos96 variant. You can get Gromos96-compatible topologies from the PRODRG 2.5 server, but be warned that the charges and charge groups assigned by PRODRG are often inconsistent and unsatisfactory, requiring manual alteration and validation. Summary: 1. Create .itp files for each molecule type individually. 2. Construct a .top yourself, which would be as simple as: #include ffoplsaa.itp #include molecule_A.itp #include molecule_B.itp #include spc.itp #include ions.itp [ system ] packmol system [ molecules ] Molecule_A N Molecule_B N SOL N (then whatever ions you need, if any) -Justin Sincerely ___ gmx-users mailing list gmx-users@gromacs.org /mc/compose?to=gmx-us...@gromacs.org http://www.gromacs.org/mailman/listinfo/gmx-users Please search the archive at http://www.gromacs.org/search before posting!

[gmx-users] pdb files
Dear All, I want to use packmol pdb files that includes one or two different types of molecules. And I seached Gromacs manuals, tutorials and mail archives in order to have enough information about using packmol pdb files in Gromacs. But I couldn't find any information. So Could you please give me the information about this ? How can I use a packmol pdb file for oplsaa and gromacs united-atom force field in generating .gro and .top files for md simulations?

[gmx-users] using pdb2gmx
Dear All, I'm trying to create gro and .top files using pdb2gmx. I created n-dodecane.pdb using Chem3D and got 100 molecules using packmol. I added TER cards between each seperate molecules. Then I tried to get gro and .top files using the commands in below : pdb2gmx –ff G43a2 –f n-dodecane.pdb –o n-dodecane.gro –p n-dodecane.top pdb2gmx –ff G43a2 –f n-dodecane.packmol100.pdb –o n-dodecane.gro –p n-dodecane.top ( added TER cards ) pdb2gmx –ff G43a2 –f n-dodecane.packmol100.pdb –o n-dodecane.gro –p n-dodecane.top I couldn't get gro and .top files. Could you please help me to get gro and .top files successfuly ? I also need some information about using packmol pdb file in Gromacs. I want to run md for 100 n-dodecane molecules.

Dear All, I'm planing to do md simulations for n-alkane molecules. I use Gromacs 4.0.4. I tried to use oplsaa, but I couldn't create .gro and top files. I created my pdb file using Chem3d. I want to ask if I can use oplsaa for n-alkanes. And could you suggest me some force fields that can be used for n-alkanes molecules ?

[gmx-users] a question about analysis
Dear All, I converted the mdcrd ( coordinates, box sizes ) and mdvel ( velocities ) Amber trajectory files for every md record into the pdb format using ptraj in Amber. Can I use these pdb files in Gromacs for performing analysis ? Or Will I need to have some extra files to use analysis programs of Gromacs ? I will only use g_msd , g_velacc , g_energy for calculating viscosity. I'm waiting for your advices.
