Re: [gmx-users] Re: Simulation with CsCl

2010-06-09 Thread sonali dhindwal
Hello All ,

I am also trying to simulate my protein with Mn ion present in it.
So can I create the topology entry for Mn ion similar  to MG2+ ion ? and how 
can I get the values of C6 and C12 leonard jones potential in [atom type] entry 
and will it be required to add [nonbond_params] also ? how can I get them ?

Also I want to use Fe2+ also, but it  is also not included in gromos force 
field. This problem of adding other ions and molecule in the system always 
remains. And being new to this field, can someone suggest in simple terms how 
to include these  considering the person is not an expert in this field.
Please help.

 Hi all:
 I am trying to simulate a polysaccharide in solution of water and CsCl, but
 cesium is not parametrized in the gromacs 4. I am using the force
 field GROMOS 96.
 I have looked for the parameters of Cs+ in the OPLS Force field and I have
 created 4 files: Cs.atp, Cs.itp, Csnb.itp and Cs.rtp.  Also I have include
 the parameters for Cs+ in the ions.itp file, but it didn't work, Can
 someone help me?
 Thanks in advance.
 Cecilia.

You do not need so many files so cesium. Just copy your parameters to
the force field used and create the topology entry for cesium similar
to

[ moleculetype ]
Ar         1

[ atoms ]
1   Ar    1    Ar      Ar    0  0.0

Do not forget, cesium+ is an ion...

Please consult the link I posted yesterday...

http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/How-tos/Parameterization

What you're trying to do is far from trivial.  Understand that parameterization, 
especially for transition metals, is very challenging, and standard molecular 
mechanics treatment of such species suffers from many limitations, which may or 
may not influence your results.

Dear Sonali,

Unfortunately development of force-field parameters is difficult, and
even more so for bivalent ions and transition metals. This is certainly
not suitable as a project to begin with.

Having said that, a careful search in the literature will reveal that
many sets of parameters for metal ions do exist. Try to find a set that
works best with the water model that you're using or your particular
model, and carry out some simulations to validate that the results are
correct, reproducible and robust. The following references discuss some
aspects of simulations of ions and proteins:

@article{Project2006,
   Author = {Project, E. and Friedman, R. and Nachliel, E. and Gutman, M.},
   Title = {A Molecular Dynamics Study of the Effect of Ca{2+} Removal
on Calmodulin Structure},
   Journal = {Biophys. J.},
   Volume= {90},
   Pages = {3842-3850},
   Year = {2006}
}


@Article{Fyta2010,
author = Fyta, M and Kalcher, I and Dzubiella, J and Vrbka, L and Netz,
R R,
title = {Ionic force field optimization based on single-ion and ion-pair
solvation properties},
journal = J Chem Phys,
year = 2010,
volume = 132,
pages = 024911-024911
}
