Likewise, I agreed with what Massimo said.

As an example, I recently did a fairly large set of REMD simulations of a
320-atom disordered peptide with rather more water and many fewer replicas
than you propose. I did so because I expected low barriers and large
maximum diameter (the latter from an implicit-solvent REMD). Even after the
fact, I cannot demonstrate that my decisions were correct (and probably
could not even if I could have produced clearly converged ensembles).

Dear Justin/Mark,

I have asked this question previously in the forum, I got some reply from
other members. It will be more useful if you can provide you expert
comments on the same. I am planning to run REMD for a peptide (406 atoms )+
solvent system (27639). The temperature range I selected is from 300 to
500. I want to select appropriate temp. for 56 replicas (as I have 56
processors available). I used the t-remd calculator for temp. generation.
It provided some 200 temp. values. Here are my questions :
1. Is it possible to select equally spaced temp. values from those values ??
2. I checked that reducing the no. of water mol. decreases the temp.
values. What if I reduce the no. of water mol., will if affect the
simulation ??



I haven't said anything because I agree with what Massimo has already told you. 
 If that is comforting in some way to know, then so be it, but I think it is 
rather rude to suggest that you would rather someone else answer your question,

In general, the smaller is your system, the less temperatures you will need
(and you'll have better performance).

Notice however that implicit solvent, while surely a possibility worth
considering, is not usually considered to be very good -take care that if
you write a paper from implicit solvent results, reviewers might not be
happy. There is a chance that the results coming out of your simulation
might be nonsense. Discuss this choice with your supervisor and/or with
expert colleagues who know about limitations of implicit solvent. You need
to be able to justify your choice scientifically -for example testing it
with a known,similar system and observing that implicit solvent reproduces
the behaviour of that system in explicit solvent well.

About reducing the box size, by all means try it, but always make sure it
is large enough to avoid that the periodic copies of your molecule see each
other. See

http://ringo.ams.sunysb.edu/index.php/MD_Simulation:_Protein_in_Water#Box_Preparationand
be sure to understand it.


2013/4/23 bharat gupta bharat.85.m...@gmail.com


Thanks a lot for your prompt responses. By using implicit solvent , I am
getting on 9 temperature values. I think this should work , I will try it
out. Also, i checked that when the no. of water molecules are reduced ,

the

no. of temp. values are also reduced. If I reduce the no. of water
molecules or reduce the size of box , will it help. As of now I am using
octahedron box.

Dear gmx users,
   
I am planning to run REMD for a peptide (406 atoms )+ solvent system
(27639). The temperature range I selected is from 300 to 500. I want
 to
select appropriate temp. for 56 replicas. I randomly chose some temp
distribution and the exchange probabilities was 0.0. I know that we
 can
   use
the formula  Ti=T0*ek*i, but what is the value for i and K here ??

Re: [gmx-users] Fwd: Selecting the temperature distribution

2013-04-23 Thread massimo sandal
Thanks, now it's clearer.

 Now, how can I temp. from these, so that the replicas can exchange ...

You can't, I would say. The system you have requires so many replicas to
exchange properly from the two temperature extremes you set up. As you have
seen, if you pick up temperatures in that range randomly, they can't
exchange anymore. They are too far away.

I would choose a smaller temperature range. There is little else you can
do, I think.

 Sorry for that, I explain it again. Actually, I used the this link to
 generate a temp. distribution. But I can do REMD for 56 replicas only, as I

Who knows? It depends on the size of your peptide, on the energy landscape,
on how long is the run you plan to do. I would bet on no, however.

   You can't, I would say. The system you have requires so many replicas
 to
   exchange properly from the two temperature extremes you set up. As you
  have
   seen, if you pick up temperatures in that range randomly, they can't
   exchange anymore. They are too far away.

2013-04-23 Thread massimo sandal
It depends on what you want to do. Possible it is certainly possible, but
you can't be guaranteed to observe the conformational changes you desire to
observe. Again, it does not depend only on the REMD, but also on the length
of it. How long will it be? 10 ns? 100? 1000? 10.000? Plus, it also depends
on your system itself -and this you cannot know without trying.

If you want to improve sampling beyond what standard REMD can do, to
exploit your computational resources at the best, you can look into other
approaches like solute tempering (
http://www.pnas.org/content/102/39/13749.abstract ), or metadynamics (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metadynamics ). However I advise you to study
*well* this kind of things, talk with experts in these techniques,  and
remember that there is no guarantee any of them will bring the result you
want. Good luck! :)

In general, look in the literature what other people have done on similar
systems, and try to go from there.

 It depends on what you want to do. Possible it is certainly possible, but
 you can't be guaranteed to observe the conformational changes you desire to
 observe. Again, it does not depend only on the REMD, but also on the length
 of it. How long will it be? 10 ns? 100? 1000? 10.000? Plus, it also depends
 on your system itself -and this you cannot know without trying.

 If you want to improve sampling beyond what standard REMD can do, to
 exploit your computational resources at the best, you can look into other
 approaches like solute tempering (

In general, the smaller is your system, the less temperatures you will need
(and you'll have better performance).

Notice however that implicit solvent, while surely a possibility worth
considering, is not usually considered to be very good -take care that if
you write a paper from implicit solvent results, reviewers might not be
happy. There is a chance that the results coming out of your simulation
might be nonsense. Discuss this choice with your supervisor and/or with
expert colleagues who know about limitations of implicit solvent. You need
to be able to justify your choice scientifically -for example testing it
with a known,similar system and observing that implicit solvent reproduces
the behaviour of that system in explicit solvent well.

About reducing the box size, by all means try it, but always make sure it
is large enough to avoid that the periodic copies of your molecule see each
other. See
http://ringo.ams.sunysb.edu/index.php/MD_Simulation:_Protein_in_Water#Box_Preparationand
be sure to understand it.

Re: [gmx-users] Fwd: Selecting the temperature distribution

2013-04-23 Thread bharat gupta
Dear Justin/Mark,

I have asked this question previously in the forum, I got some reply from
other members. It will be more useful if you can provide you expert
comments on the same. I am planning to run REMD for a peptide (406 atoms )+
solvent system (27639). The temperature range I selected is from 300 to
500. I want to select appropriate temp. for 56 replicas (as I have 56
processors available). I used the t-remd calculator for temp. generation.
It provided some 200 temp. values. Here are my questions :
1. Is it possible to select equally spaced temp. values from those values ??
2. I checked that reducing the no. of water mol. decreases the temp.
values. What if I reduce the no. of water mol., will if affect the
simulation ??

 In general, the smaller is your system, the less temperatures you will need
 (and you'll have better performance).

 Notice however that implicit solvent, while surely a possibility worth
 considering, is not usually considered to be very good -take care that if
 you write a paper from implicit solvent results, reviewers might not be
 happy. There is a chance that the results coming out of your simulation
 might be nonsense. Discuss this choice with your supervisor and/or with
 expert colleagues who know about limitations of implicit solvent. You need
 to be able to justify your choice scientifically -for example testing it
 with a known,similar system and observing that implicit solvent reproduces
 the behaviour of that system in explicit solvent well.

 About reducing the box size, by all means try it, but always make sure it
 is large enough to avoid that the periodic copies of your molecule see each
 other. See

 http://ringo.ams.sunysb.edu/index.php/MD_Simulation:_Protein_in_Water#Box_Preparationand
 be sure to understand it.

  Thanks a lot for your prompt responses. By using implicit solvent , I am
  getting on 9 temperature values. I think this should work , I will try it
  out. Also, i checked that when the no. of water molecules are reduced ,
 the
  no. of temp. values are also reduced. If I reduce the no. of water
  molecules or reduce the size of box , will it help. As of now I am using
  octahedron box.

   It depends on what you want to do. Possible it is certainly possible,
 but
   you can't be guaranteed to observe the conformational changes you
 desire
  to
   observe. Again, it does not depend only on the REMD, but also on the
  length
   of it. How long will it be? 10 ns? 100? 1000? 10.000? Plus, it also
  depends
   on your system itself -and this you cannot know without trying.
  
   If you want to improve sampling beyond what standard REMD can do, to
   exploit your computational resources at the best, you can look into
 other
   approaches like solute tempering (
   http://www.pnas.org/content/102/39/13749.abstract ), or metadynamics (
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metadynamics ). However I advise you to
  study
   *well* this kind of things, talk with experts in these techniques,  and
   remember that there is no guarantee any of them will bring the result
 you
   want. Good luck! :)

So, my final question is whether is possible to do REMD for my
 system,
using the computational resource that I have.

 Who knows? It depends on the size of your peptide, on the energy
landscape,
 on how long is the run you plan to do. I would bet on no,
 however.

  But if I choose a smaller temperature range , would it be
 possible
  to
  observe any folding event ??

   Thanks, now it's clearer.
  
Now, how can I temp. from these, so that the replicas can

   You can't, I would say. The system you have requires so many
   replicas
 to
   exchange properly from the two temperature extremes you set up.
  As
you
  have
   seen, if you pick up temperatures in that range randomly, they
   can't
   exchange anymore. They are too far away.
  
   I would choose a smaller temperature range. There is little
 else
   you
 can
   do, I think.

Sorry for that, I explain it again. Actually, I used the this
   link
to
generate a temp. distribution. But I can do REMD for 56
  replicas
 only,
   as I
have 56 processors available. The t-remd calculator provides
  220
temperature values :
