Re: [gmx-users] how to write the correct top file for membrane protein system?

2007-11-25 Thread Mark Abraham
 Dear Justin,

 Thanks for you quickly reply.

 I have tried before to comment out the section of [ defaults ] in the next
 itp file, but still too many warnings and final crashed.
 And i think it would not be the best method to solve this problem, because
 i
 have to use ffgmx.itp to deal with DPPC.

 Is there any other method i can try?

Don't mix forcefields unless you already have hard evidence that this
combination works - and I'm not aware of any. The link Justin provided
warns you about that. You need to find a force field that has parameters
optimized that suit your system. Mixing anything else is about 99% likely
to make an expensive (and poor) random number generator.

[gmx-users] how to write the correct top file for membrane protein system?

2007-11-24 Thread liang
Dear User,

i try to perform simulation on membrane protein ( proterin + DPPC ).
And i use OPLS for protein, Berger force field for DPPC. 
But after i construct this system, i cannot obtain tpr file by using grompp.

Here is my topol.top :

; protein
#include ffoplsaa.itp
#include protein-opls.itp

; membrane
#include ffgmx.itp
#include lipid.itp
#include dppc.itp

; Include water topology
#include spc.itp

[ system ]
; name
Membrane in water

[ molecules ]
; name  number
Protein1
DPPC  123
SOL 14189

here is the result:

Fatal error:
Invalid order for directive defaults, file 
/home/gmx331/share/gromacs/top/ffgmx.itp, line 4


Could you please give me some suggestion?  i appreciate your help.

Thanks so much!___

I suspect it is a result of using two different force fields.  The [ defaults ]
will be defined in the first force field (in your case, ffoplsaa.itp), but then
grompp is finding a second [ defaults ] in ffgmx.itp.  See here:
