[gmx-users] Genbox center of box
I am beginning a simulation of my system following the lysozyme tutorial but when I try to use genbox to solvate my system it asks me to provide the coordinates of the center of the box. I have previously been successfully able to enter the same commands without this prompt appearing from gromacs. Can anyone let me know what I'm doing wrong please?

[gmx-users] genbox box size problem
Dear users, I am trying to solvate a MARTINI model, using a pre-equilibrated coarse-grained water box. This usually works fine with the following command. genbox -cs water-1bar-303K.gro -cp 01min.gro -o 02solv -vdwd 0.21 When I recently increased the box size things started going wrong. As the simulation box got bigger than the (-cs) water box, the solvated structure ended up containing clear block-shaped regions of higher and lower solvent density. I obviously tried stacking the (-cs) box first to make it bigger than the box in the (-cp) file, genconf -f water-1bar-303K.gro -o water-1bar-303K_big.gro -nbox 3 3 3 but the problem persisted. Waters actually coincide in the solvated structure, so energy minimization is obviously hopeless. Is genbox behaving unexpectedly or is this likely an input problem?

Re: [gmx-users] genbox box size problem
genbox works best when the box size of the solute is defined as the same as of the water one used to solvate it. So you can build a water box with the dimensions you want and them use it. You can build a water box by using genconf -nbox and use a script to cut to the dimensions you need, minimize, equilibrate ... Using a bigger box size should work too but it might need to be positioned/centered correctly and the solute too ...

I have seen this exact problem posted before. The coordinates of the water box provided by MARTINI have some coordinate values that basically coincide across the periodic box. With genconf, you can apply the -dist option to space them out slightly, then re-equilibrate before using the new configuration as input into genbox. -Justin -- Justin A.

[gmx-users] genbox Not enough memory
So perhaps you don't need a box this big? a box length of 25 nm might be within your available memory. Otherwise, talk to your cluster's sysadmins. I am not sure that you're going to get any useful statistics on a box of length 250 nm in any event. A box that size will fit about 1 billion atoms if you're using an all-atom force field. Even a box length of 25 nm will give you 1 million atoms, for which you're going to need some pretty serious computational resources.

Dear Gmx Users, I am preparing my protein-ligand complex system for Umbrella Sampling (free binding energy of ligand) and I set up the box (Pulling with Z coordinate): editconf -f Protein10LIGrot.pdb -o ProteinLIGbox.pdb -box 12 7 13 Then using VMD I placed my Protein-Lig complex to on the right side, saved coordinates of the system and tried to add water: genbox -cp ProteinLIGbox.pdb -cs spc216.gro -o Solv.gro -p topol.top The problem is that after adding water gromacs move my Protein-Lig complex in the center of the the Z coordinate - center my complex... Why? I want it as it was just before adding water. Do you have any clue what is happening?

[gmx-users] Genbox question
Hello, I was wondering if someone can help me with a general genbox question. I have been using the command line: genbox -ci octanol.gro -nmol 1000 -box 5 5 5 -o prop_1000.gro to fill a box with 1000 molecules of octanol. With the smaller n-alcohols, it worked fine but as I started using 1-butanol, 1-pentanol, (longer carbon chains) up to octanol, Gromacs sometimes ends the command with a 'Killedin-Solvent overlap' line at the very end. Sometimes increasing the box size helped, but for 1-pentanol, even 7 7 7 box size didn't work. Also, do these killed runs take up some sort of space. My memory space decreases a little bit even on failed runs. Thanks. -- Best regards, Fabian F.

Defining a larger box in which you place the solvent prevents this from working. Positions of molecules inserted with genbox -ci -nmol are random. If you want to define a specific orientation or position in the box, use editconf -center/-translate/-rotate as necessary. -Justin Thanks, Majid *From:* Justin A.

Re: [gmx-users] genbox output taking forever to complete
Okay, so here is an output attached, for cubic box of length 10 (I removed some atoms to reduce the size below 50kB). Actually, the carbon atoms are all placed at 0x4, 0 y 2.5,0z3.5. While solvent and DNA atoms are in the region 4x,y,z6. So only DNA is solvated, while CNT is just lying outside. Though I might have placed solvent in a cube of length 10 (using: editconf -f spc216.pdb -o spc216.gro -box 10 10 10), could this be the reason? I am at the moment trying to solvate the whole system (in a cubic box of 20) without specifying -box in editconf -o spc216.gro, but this is taking long, its running for about half an hour after reaching this point: Reading solvent configuration Quotation Solvent configuration contains 648 atoms in 216 residues.

[gmx-users] genbox output taking forever to complete
Dear All, I am trying to add a single strand dna, and single walled carbon nanotube in a box using the genbox command. After typing following command: genbox -cp cntcapped.pdb -cs spc216.gro -ci ssgcg.gro -nmol 1 -box 2 2 2 -o cntdna.gro, I get: Reading solute configuration Containing 168 atoms in 1 residues Initialising van der waals distances...

Reading solvent configuration Giving Russians Opium May Alter Current Situation solvent configuration contains 648 atoms in 216 residues and then it takes forever to produce output. I tried to generate an output with just one molecule in solvent (spc216.gro), and I ran into same problem. I suspect something is wrong with my solvent input (file attached).

Re: [gmx-users] genbox output taking forever to complete
Okay, so I divided the procedure in three steps, and this does produce output immediately. But it seems that it doesn't put second molecule inside the box. Here is the what I am doing: 1. editconf -f ssgcg.pdb -o ssgcg.gro -box 20 20 20 2. genbox -cp ssgcg.gro -ci cntcapped.pdb -nmol 1 -o cntdna.gro 3. editconf -f spc216.pdb -o spc216.gro -box 20 20 20 4. genbox -cp cntdna.gro -cs spc216.gro -o solvated.gro 5. editconf -f solvated.gro -o solvated.pdb I tried cubic boxes of different lenghts (10, 20, 100), but when I see the final file in solvated.pdb in rasmol, it seems that it puts dna, and cnt at a distance equal to the specified length of the box, and the water molecules are all clustered around dna only. I also tried to create a box of lenght 100 20 20 and align dna along 1 0 0, but I still got the similar final output. My question is, what determines the distance between molecules inside the box, and how can I make sure that they are placed at a reasonable distance inside the solvent? Thanks, Majid From: Justin A.

[gmx-users] Genbox command question
Hello, I'm trying to place 1000 molecules of 1-propanol using CHARMM FF parameters in a -box 6 6 6. After minimization, I realized that for a single molecule, the potential was slightly above 0, '+24 kJ/mol' to be exact, with electrostatic coloumb potential the greatest contributor. I used the same thing with OPLSA FF parameters and got a '+3 kJ/mol'. I realize that when I place 1000 of these molecules, the potential will be very high since the potentials are positive to begin with. When I placed 1000 molecules using: - genbox -ci propanol.gro -nmol 1000 -box 6 6 6 -o prop1000.gro I resulted with a box full of 1000 molecules in that specific box size on gromacs 4.0.1. I did the same on the latest gromacs 4.5 but it ended up taking longer and the last line stating 'killed'. I redid it with a box 7 7 7 and it worked on gromacs 4.5. However, after I energy minimized both 1000 molecules (box 6 6 6 on gromacs 4.0.1) and (box 7 7 7 on gromacs 4.5), the first gave me a large negative potential energy (-6000 kJ/mol) after taking a long time and the second box gave me a somewhat large 2*10^3 kJ/mol. I am still new to Gromacs but I'm confused on why a certain box size worked on one version of gromacs and the other didnt. I assume that the difference in potential energies is since the 2nd box has way more space for these molecules therefore they are not as well equilibrated as the more compact box of size 6 6 6. Why does my box size that worked on gromacs4.0.1 work and on 4.5 it states killed as the last line and only works redoing it with a bigger box size. Thank you so much for your time and help ahead of time. -- Best regards, Fabian F.

I have found that the two are incompatible, but in theory, I don't know why one couldn't do everything in one step. It can depend on the assumptions about the purpose of -cs and -ci. If -ci is being used to insert some ions or small molecules then you want to do -cs first lest you create larger interstices via the VDW exclusions. If -ci inserts large molecules, then you want to do that first. The observations of the OP suggest the former is implemented.

[gmx-users] genbox generating acetonitrile box with holes
Dear all, I tried to send this message earlier, but I had attached a pdb file and apparently it exceeded the size allowed in the mailing list and is awinting for the list moderator to evaluate it. I apologize if the message is sent twice. I am trying to solvate a protein in a box of acetonitrile using genbox. My initial solvent box is a cubic box containing 300 molecules of acetonitrile that has been equilibrated for 500 ps at constant P and T. I used the following protocol to generate the box: ### #create the box editconf -f protein.pdb -d 1.2 -o protein_in_box.pdb -bt dodecahedron #solvate genbox -cp protein_in_box.pdb -cs acetonitrile_eq.gro -o protein_in_acetonitrile.gro #convert the box to visualize it touch empty.mdp grompp -f empty.mdp -c protein_in_acetonitrile.gro -p 01_make_top/protein_ACN.top trjconv -f protein_in_acetonitrile.gro -o protein_in_acetonitrile.pdb -pbc atom -ur compact EOF 0 EOF ### After these steps I get a box that has holes and I can't understand why. I couldn't send the final pdb file in attachment, if anyone thinks he/she can help and whishes to see the pdb file I will send it to your email. Thanks in advance.

[gmx-users] genbox solvent addition inhomogeneous?
Dear users, When I'm trying to create my solve box of 12x12x12 nm I encounter some trouble. I'm using Gromacs 4.5 with the MARTINI force field to set up a system of 400 dipeptide molecules in water. However when I use genbox -cp coarse grained dipeptidebox -cs MARTINI example water box -vdwd 0.2 -o output I get an inhomogeneous distribution of the water beads: there is what looks like a cubic higher density water box in the middle ~9 nm of the output. When I then try to run a energy minimization with mdrun the simulation crashes quickly with Steepest Descents converged to machine precision in 15 steps, but did not reach the requested Fmax 100. Potential Energy = 7.8217890e+17 Maximum force =inf on atom 6750 Norm of force =inf I've tried different vdwd's, using define = -DPOSRES, but I can't get round it. Using smaller 9x9x9 boxes with 150 dipeptides and further nothing different does work very satisfactory, but to study the assembled structure I would like to increase the size of the entire system. Can anyone explain why this happens or suggest any solutions?

[gmx-users] genbox and martini, ethanol solvent
Dear users, I'm trying to create a box with a number (64) of small peptide molecules (diphenylalanine) solved in ethanol for a Gromacs run with the Martini coarse-grain force field. I've created the box with the solute with the genbox -ci command: genbox -ci FFMM_cg.pdb -nmol 64 -box 5 5 5 -o FFMM_box.gro. This all seemed to work fine and I confirmed that it worked in VMD. However, when I try to fill the box with ethanol, this gives problems: genbox -cp FFMM_box.gro -cs ethanol_cg.pdb gets stuck at Reading solvent configuration solvent configuration contains 1 atoms in 1 residues (no error message, but just stops). 1 atom in 1 residue is correct for my pdb file, since ethanol is represented by 1 atom in Martini. I have tried to circumvent this problem by using the ci option again to add ethanol molecules 1 by 1. This kind of works, but if I try it for too many molecules (nmol 15000) it crashes as well with the message 'killed'. Also solving in ethanol that's not converted to coarse grain gets stuck (except from that it says 9 atoms in 1 residue). I have tried to solve it in the spc216 water, this works, so there must be something wrong with my pdb file for the solvent. I can see in other solvent gro/pdb files that there are usually a lot of solvent molecules in 1 file. Why is that and what can I do to make the ethanol box?

Using -ci -nmol is prone to running out of memory, which is probably what's happening in your case. If you use genbox -cs, the configuration in the solvent coordinate file is expected to contain multiple atoms, or at the very least, multiple molecules. You can generate a box of CG ethanol using genconf -nbox (to make a grid), then equilibrate. Use this configuration as your solvent using genbox -cs. -Justin Thanks very much in advance, Pim PhD student University of Strathclyde Pure Applied Chemistry / Biomolecular and Chemical Physics -- Justin A.

When I tried the same command you did, my machine ran out of memory, so it's probably a rather complicated task and thus might not be a suitable application for this particular tool. Have you tried using genconf instead? With genconf you can easily build a lattice of NO3 that you can then equilibrate; genbox will try to randomize the configuration, but you can do it yourself with sufficient equilibration anyway. -Justin Thanks, Adama Adama Tandia, Corning INC, SP-TD-01-01 Corning NY 14831 USA, Tel: 607 248 1036 -GoogleVoice: 708 433 9430 -- Justin A.

Certainly not without more useful information - GROMACS version, simulation system size, actual command line. Even then, the best guess is probably that you're running genbox on a machine for which it wasn't compiled, or for which some shared libraries have been updated in an incompatible way. Try recompiling GROMACS if so.

[gmx-users] genbox error at futil.c
Hi!
I am a very beginner, trying to make some dynamics of a protein in
a water box, after doing some (web) tutorials. I googled first for this
(possibly simple) error, found one reference, but cannot see it,
possibly because the gromacs site is under changes.
I ran pdb2gmx and editconf. Then at genbox I get the error:
"
Processing topology
---
Program genbox, VERSION 4.0.5
Source code file: futil.c, line: 330
File input/output error:
RecA_nat_b4em.top
---
"
The command line is:
genbox -cp ${MOL}_in_box.gro -cs -p ${MOL}_b4em.top -o
${MOL}_b4em.gro eof genbox.log
eof
with variable MOL set to RecA_nat
The file RecA_nat_b4em.gro is output without problems.
I am using gromacs 4.0.5 under openSuSE 11.1.
Thanks,
Jorge

Re: Re: [gmx-users] genbox error at futil.c
Thanks for replying.
Humm..., maybe I see now. As a beginner I intended to keep all files
produced and better inspect what happens in sequence, but I did not want
to use the conventional renaming. But it seems that for the topology
file, the common procedure is to keep always one only name through the
several steps, right? That is what I understand with
Option Filename Type Description
-p topol.top In/Out, Opt. Topology file
so, the same name for input and output, yet genbox renames the old
one according to the conventions (which in my script I could then
further re-rename).
And... genbox does need a previous topology file (RecA_nat_b4em.top
was intended to be the output file!).
Thanks, again.

Humm..., maybe I see now. As a beginner I intended to keep all files
produced and better inspect what happens in sequence, but I did not want
to use the conventional renaming. But it seems that for the topology

several steps, right? That is what I understand with
You can keep the same name, or manually make your own backup copies along the
way (topol_orig.top, topol_after_sol.top, etc).
Option Filename Type Description
-p topol.top In/Out, Opt. Topology file
so, the same name for input and output, yet genbox renames the old
one according to the conventions (which in my script I could then
further re-rename).
Right, genbox will not make a new file for you, it simply processes the input
topology, which becomes the output once it is modified.
-Justin
And... genbox does need a previous topology file (RecA_nat_b4em.top
was intended to be the output file!).
Thanks, again.

Hi!
I am a very beginner, trying to make some dynamics of a protein
in a water box, after doing some (web) tutorials. I googled first for
this (possibly simple) error, found one reference, but cannot see it,
possibly because the gromacs site is under changes.
I ran pdb2gmx and editconf. Then at genbox I get the error:

So is the topology in the current working directory?

The command line is:
genbox -cp ${MOL}_in_box.gro -cs -p ${MOL}_b4em.top -o
${MOL}_b4em.gro eof genbox.log
eof
with variable MOL set to RecA_nat
The file RecA_nat_b4em.gro is output without problems.
I am using gromacs 4.0.5 under openSuSE 11.1.

[gmx-users] genbox and triclinic boxes. Problem an workaround.
Hi, there seems to be a problem when using genbox with triclinic boxes as solvent input. I have a frame 0.pdb from an equilibrated MD simulation of a triclinic box. When I take the water from the box as solvent input and the protein as protein input for genbox: echo SOL | editconf -ndef -f 0.pdb -o sol.pdb echo Protein | editconf -ndef -f 0.pdb -o prot.pdb and then run: genbox -cp prot.pdb -cs sol.pdb -o out.pdb then an energy minization on out.pdb yields very large initial forces (like 1e+16). That should not be. Making all molecules whole (via trjconv and a tpr) as suggested by the known bug of genbox does *not* help. What does help, however, is to run trjconv on the frame with -ur rect or -ur tric (not -ur compact). Another weired issue is that genbox removes water molecules even if it reports that it removed zero water. By the way, the problem occurs in the 3.3.1 and in a quite recent CVS version (3.3.99_development_20080718).

[gmx-users] genbox memory problem
Hello, I have a problem about genbox command in GMX. I'm running genbox to randamly insert molecules. Because the probobility of successful insertion is low, I have to use a large number for the -try variable. After running genbox I found sometimes the memory cost increased gradually after each unsuccessful inserion attempt and finally went beyond the limit of hardware. The memory cost went back to a very small number after one successful insertion. I'm wondering if it's a memory leakage problem. In my unsterstanding the memory cost shouldn't increase after each unsuccessful insertion. Is that because some momeory is not freed after each try? Thanks.

[gmx-users] genbox protein internal H2O
Hi, I am wanting to solvate a protein w/o adding H2O to its interior. Reasons: 1. I am interested to know how the structural H2Os behave initially w/o interference from added H2O. 2. Added H2O also introduce steric constraints that prevent EM from achieving its goal, even w/o constraints. Have there been additional ideas since the following suggestions were made: http://wiki.gromacs.org/index.php/genbox I have no trouble identifying interior structural H2Os before solvation. After solvation the visual field is cluttered w/ added H2O and is harder to work with. Ideally I'd like to hide all added H2O outside the solvent accessible surface or perhaps a little farther out, and then work w/ molecular visualization. Suggestions would be welcome? A second question is that if I identify added interior H2Os and remove them, there will be spots in files that are not sequentially numbered. Do gromacs programs care about this? -John ___ gmx-users mailing listgmx-users@gromacs.org http://www.gromacs.org/mailman/listinfo/gmx-users Please search the archive at http://www.gromacs.org/search before posting!

I'm wondering if i can tell genbox not to put water molecule inside the micelle...can i?.. :-p 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.

I'm sure all I have to do is edit the number in my top file, but I have not had this happen before, does anyone know of a reason that this happens so I can fix my file? I have seen this problem for the first time on our Gromacs workshop last week. I think the problem is that genbox does not recognize some crystal waters in your input coordinate file. genbox currently checks for SOL, WAT and HOH. What is the residue name of your crystal waters? The solution for the moment is to manually count the water molecules in the gro file and then correct the top file.

I think William wanted the number of waters in his .top file to be added to his .gro file, and this is an ill-defined proposition. Mark This depends. If the gro and top came out of pdb2gmx, pdb2gmx already recognized the water molecules and wrote the gro and top files. genbox is supposed to regonize these crystal waters in the gro and top file. Normally it would just add a line for the added water molecules. But genbox is so smart that it checks if the waters in the output configuration match the number in the orginal top plus the added waters, and it corrects the top if there is something wrong. I would guess that this is where the error occurs. Please file a bug report to bugzilla.gromacs.org with the gro and top file and the command line used for genbox.

Re: [gmx-users] genbox peptide-membrane simulation
Maite, The option -d sets a distance to be met on all sides, considering all the atoms to in the ouput selection. That's not what you want for a membrane now, is it? So, you don't want that option. You should have a box from the lipids anyway, I guess (used to equilibrate that system), just extend the z-coordinate (third number in the last row of the .gro file) such that your peptide fits in. Furthermore, molecules can't go out of the box, there is no outside! There's only wrapping from one side to the opposite one. Please read the manual and the mailing list regarding periodic boundary conditions (and setting up membrane-peptide simulations).
