I've solvated with tip4p in 3.3cvs and 3.3.1, never had the problem.

anyway, a `grep 'OW  SOL' box.pdb | wc -l` will tell you how many
solvent molecules you have.

I don't know - I've not seen it reported. You should search the mailing 
list archives.


There won't be any interest in diagnosing or fixing it within version 
3.x, but if you can reproduce your result in 4.0.4, file a bugzilla from 
the GROMACS website and it'll get attention.

A third alternative would be to increase the vdw radii, by copying 
vdwradii.dat to your working directory and increase the water radius.

Re: [gmx-users] genbox problem with micelle

2007-06-04 Thread Martin Höfling
If you have the center coordinates and your cell has a good radial symmetry, i 
would just write a script, checking the distance of each water to the center 
and then skipping everything below the radius of your cell.

genbox just uses vdw radii for different atom types to generate volumes
that exclude waters. If your micelle (and I presume from the above that
you have a micelle that is lipid-inside-surface water-outside-surface) has
interstices that are large enough to admit waters, then genbox will place
them there.

Probably, an energy minimization of the micelle in vacuo will see it
contract so that the lipids are pretty much close-packed, and hopefully
this density will also be close to that for the micelle in solution.
Alternatively, or if there are still holes that admit waters, you can make
the radii of your lipid C and H atoms larger for the purposes of genbox
using a modified gromacs/share/top/vdwradii.dat. Be careful later with the
gentleness of your minimization and equilibration schemes else you'll
generate large structural changes and thus bad contacts and LINCS errors,
etc.

Otherwise, you could get out a molecule visualization program like VMD,
find the waters inside and delete them (you could script this with VMD,
too).

There's also a lesson here to look at your structure before you simulate
to see that it looks how you expect it to. If you'd seen these waters, and
knew for some reason that it would take longer than your simulation time
to form an equilibrated micelle by excluding these waters, then you'd have
known not to bother with this simulation, and fixed your problem without
spending computer time needlessly.
