Aw: Re: [gmx-users] Constant-Force Pulling of Ubiquitin

2013-10-29 Thread lloyd riggs

I dont know how well v-rescale works with pulling.  It could be after removing some restraints it still had not reached a good equilibrium (ie let it run a while/nanosecound or 5, before pulling it), or maybe generating velocities on start causes more caos than the proteins or system can handle, still it may be the real system minus several initial time frames, ie it either isnt bound from the start as it is in reality or it prefers to be free...But I may be wrong on some of this...so just suggestions.  Also, 500 picoseconds is short for measring things, and would probably be dominated by starting velocity for at least 40-80 picoseconds, thus look at how fast it declines...there are some printed standards for protein-protein delG or domain changes of around 3-4 ns to make sure small loop/domain changes are represented in the energy profile.  There was (on some comments) talk of making this around 6 ns..but I dont know if there are set real standards for this held fast to (i've read 2 papers with 400 ns to see domain changes with no pull, and a good 5-6 at 4 ns with pulling so?).

[gmx-users] Constant-Force Pulling of Ubiquitin

2013-10-29 Thread Vivian
Hi GMX Users, 

I am using Gromacs (Version 4.5.5) to do constant-force pulling of ubiquitin
and it's a implicit model. My mdp file for pulling is shown as following. 

integrator  =  md 
dt  =  0.001; ps ! 
nsteps  =  50 ; total 500 ps. 

nstxout =  100 
nstvout =  100 
nstfout =  100 
nstlist =  10 
nstlog  =  100 
nstcalcenergy   =100

rvdw  =  5 
rcoulomb = 5 
coulombtype  = cut-off 
vdwtype  = cut-off 
table-extension =  5 
bd_fric =  0 
ld_seed =  -1 
pbc =  no 
ns_type =  simple 
constraints = all-bonds 
lincs_order = 4 
lincs_iter  = 1 
lincs-warnangle = 30 

Tcoupl  = v-rescale 
tau_t   = 1.0 
tc-grps =  Protein 
ref_t   =  300 

Pcoupl  =  no 

gen_vel =  yes 
gen_temp=  300 
gen_seed=  173529 

comm_mode = Angular 
nstcomm  =100

sa_algorithm = Ace-approximation 
; Surface tension (kJ/mol/nm^2) for the SA (nonpolar surface) part of GBSA

pull_group1 = Chain_B 
pull_group0 = Chain_A 
pull_k1 = -500  ; kJ mol^-1 nm^-2 
pull_vec1 = 0.0 0.0 1.0 

However, after pulling simulation, it turns out the potential of this system
becomes lower rather than higher (from -1 to -2). It's very wired
since potential should become larger after pulling. 
Here is the notification after g_energy: 

Energy  Average   Err.Est.   RMSD  Tot-Drift 
--- 
Potential  -20734.52301268.47   -1385.71 
(kJ/mol) 

You may want to use the -driftcorr flag in order to correct for spurious
drift in the graphs. Note that this is not 
a substitute for proper equilibration and sampling! You should select the
temperature in order to obtain fluctuation properties. 

I wonder whether there is any problem with my mdp file. 
Thank you so much!! 

Best, 
Vivian
