Hi Justin,

Yes, I am trying the course-grain model using gromacs, an absolute newer.

My current model is not complex, just including 22 big atoms, only 4 base pair. 
What is the use of summing the entire base into one
particle?


The only coarse-grain FF I know anything about is MARTINI, which uses 4:1 
mapping, i.e. 4 atoms represented by 1 particle.  I would suspect that for 4 
base pairs, one would have significantly more particles than 22 with this type 
of mapping scheme.  You may be missing some of the subtleties of the base pair 
interactions by lumping a whole base into one particle.




The total charges are zero . And I just include water atoms and DNA strands in 
my case. I guess maybe there is something wrong with their original positions. 
I am trying to modify the coordinate.



Well, then you don't have DNA :)  The backbone of DNA bears a negative charge at 
physiological pH, and thus contributes to the overall stability (and somewhat to 
the instability) of the helix.  I would suggest refining your model a bit to 
reflect the physiological model.

Thank you for your further suggestions.

It looks like you're working with some sort of coarse-grain model for DNA.  If
you're developing new parameters, welcome to the headaches that come with such
derivations!  Interaction between whatever Tb1 (thymine base?) and the other
atoms may need to be modified.  Are you summing the entire base into one
particle?  That's pretty extensive mapping that may not capture all the
H-bonding interactions, but I guess that's up to you to decide.

How about ions?  Do you have a neutral solution, or do you have unsatisfied
charges from the backbone?  That may affect the dynamics as well.

Well, if you're defining your own potential, I'd look there for spurious
repulsive terms.  If the DNA is shearing apart, your repulsion between atoms may
be too large.  Combine that with artefactual PBC interactions, and that may give
rise to your strange behavior.

The coupling constant sounds a bit small. The dynamics of fast motions
may be affected more than you want, but I'm not a specialist of DNA and
I don't know if it's a problem in that particular case.

Tcoupl   = berendsen
; Groups to couple separately
tc-grps  = System
; Time constant (ps) and reference temperature (K)
tau_t= 0.001
ref_t= 300


I don't know if this is relevant or not, but a coupling constant of 0.001 is 
exceptionally short.  What is the timestep in your simulation?  Typically one 
sees tau_t = 0.1 with a timestep of 0.001-0.002 ps.



; Pressure coupling
Pcoupl   = no
Pcoupltype   = isotropic
; Time constant (ps), compressibility (1/bar) and reference P (bar)
tau_p= 0.5
compressibility  = 4.5e-5
ref_p= 1.0
; Random seed for Andersen thermostat
andersen_seed= 815131

It  will also disassociate .It is strange.


So the dissociation occurs at 0K and 300K?  Sounds like something is 
fundamentally flawed with your system setup.  How large is your box?  What force 
field are you using?

Can anyone of you tell me what is the reason for that?

Thank you in advance.
