RE: [gmx-users] amber DNA non-integer charge

2011-08-29 Thread Kamesh Narasimhan
Yes, you were right, upgrading it to 4.5.4 made sure the atom types/charges in 
the DNA termini were recognized correctly. This time the topology got generated 
with integer charges.

thanks

 I am using Gromacs 4.0.5 and in my ffamber03.rtp I can see that the charges

 But in my top file the H1 atom of the type amber99_17 gets replaced by the 
 amber99_25 type

 so what should have been

 amber99_17  1DG5 H1 19   0.352001.008   ;

 is written by pdb2gmx as

 amber99_25  1DG5 H1 19 0.4422  1.008   ;

 How can I make amber generate the topology with the right atomtype and charge 
 in this case?. Thanks in advance.


I don't know, but it's not productive to troubleshoot buggy behavior in a
Gromacs version that is over two years old.  I'd suggest upgrading to the newest
version (4.5.4, with the appropriate version of the Amber ports) and seeing if
the behavior persists.  Otherwise, edit the topology manually to correct the 
error.

I replaced the aminoacids.dat contents with aminoacids-NA.dat contents and 
therefore not sure how the non-integer originates. 

In my top file I can see this residue of the type amber99_25 . How do I 
correct for the atom-type and charge in this case ?

The charge on H1 is wrong.  According to the DG5 .rtp entry (in the version

I am using Gromacs 4.0.5 and in my ffamber03.rtp I can see that the charges are 
as you mentioned.

H1amber99_170.3520019

But in my top file the H1 atom of the type amber99_17 gets replaced by the 
amber99_25 type 

so what should have been

amber99_17  1DG5 H1 19   0.352001.008   ; 

is written by pdb2gmx as

amber99_25  1DG5 H1 19 0.4422  1.008   ;

How can I make amber generate the topology with the right atomtype and charge 
in this case?. Thanks in advance.

 Hil,

 I am trying to simulate a protein-DNA structure using amber03 and end up 
 having a non-integer charge in topology generation .  From the webpage of 
 ffamber on NA-simulations, I could see this below instruction

 However, for nucleic acids this also often causes pdb2gmx to replace an H 
 atom in the first residue of all nucleic acid chains with an incorrect H 
 atom, resulting in non-neutral charge. The correct atom is generally replaced 
 with an atom of type amberXX_25 (hydroxyl H), as pdb2gmx treats it as a 
 terminal hydrogen.

 I replaced the aminoacids.dat contents with aminoacids-NA.dat contents and 
 therefore not sure how the non-integer originates.

 In my top file I can see this residue of the type amber99_25 . How do I 
 correct for the atom-type and charge in this case ?

I am using Gromacs 4.0.5 and in my ffamber03.rtp I can see that the charges are 
as you mentioned.

H1amber99_170.3520019

But in my top file the H1 atom of the type amber99_17 gets replaced by the amber99_25 type 


so what should have been

amber99_17  1DG5 H1 19   0.352001.008   ; 


is written by pdb2gmx as

amber99_25  1DG5 H1 19 0.4422  1.008   ;

How can I make amber generate the topology with the right atomtype and charge 
in this case?. Thanks in advance.



I don't know, but it's not productive to troubleshoot buggy behavior in a 
Gromacs version that is over two years old.  I'd suggest upgrading to the newest 
version (4.5.4, with the appropriate version of the Amber ports) and seeing if 
the behavior persists.  Otherwise, edit the topology manually to correct the error.
