[gmx-users] Periodic Boundary Conditions g_mindist -pi

2011-02-16 Thread ifat shub
Hi,



I am running a simulation on the complex 1aik.pdb in 310K. I wanted to see
if the complex is seeing its next periodic image, so I used the g_mindist
command with the -pi option. My command line was:

g_mindist -f run.xtc -s run.gro -n index.ndx -od tmp.xvg -pi

The output (see below) was stable until ~344ps when there is a  jump in the
max internal distance (third column) from ~6nm to ~22nm. After the jump the
numbers are reduced back to ~6nm and remained stable until the run is
completed at 1ns.

Does anyone know how to explain this jump? Is this a real problem or just a
visualization artifact? Is there a way to avoid such jumps?



Here is the mdp file I used:

--run.mdp--

integrator  = md

nsteps  = 100

dt  = 0.001

coulombtype = pme

vdw-type= cut-off

tcoupl  = Berendsen

tc-grps = protein non-protein

tau-t   = 0.1 0.1

ref-t   = 310 310

nstxout = 100

nstvout = 0

nstxtcout   = 100

nstenergy   = 100

comm_mode = Linear ; Angular

comm_grps= Protein

xtc_grps   = Protein

energygrps = Protein

Thanks,

Ifat

Re: [gmx-users] Periodic Boundary Conditions g_mindist -pi

2011-02-16 Thread Tsjerk Wassenaar
Hi Ifat,

I guess this is a jump over the periodic boundaries. You should remove
jumps from the trajectory (-pbc nojump) before running g_mindist -pi.

Cheers,

Tsjerk
