Re: [gmx-users] minimization of particular residue/atom

2013-05-02 Thread gromacs query
Dear Mark,

I found a simple(est) fix to this problem. Say in my case I was getting
error inf on atom 4281 ( Maximum force =inf on atom 4281)

What  I did: In gro file for atom number 4281 I edited one of its
coordinate just 0.1nm that is 1 Angs e.g. 6.518 to 6.618 (I did for x, but
can be y or z). So mdrun was complaining one by one and I edited in all
three such x coordinates for three atoms. finally I was able to achieve
convergence.

I believe moving just 0.1 nm minimization will take care of correct
lengths. May be if its not the correct way; please suggest.

regards,

 All the above means your system is
 http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Terminology/Blowing_Up

 I removed the  full lipid residue having atom number 4281. I was again
  getting error representing some other atoms so finally I removed three
  lipid residues. Doing this I was able to complete convergence.
 
  I have two queries:
 
  1) As I have removed three residues from Charmm gui membrane, does this
  affect final results? Although I will be doing MD for membrane first.
 

 Maybe. We don't know whether the membrane was built wrongly, or you
 post-processed the coordinate file wrongly, or whether you need all the
 lipid molecules to achieve the right density, or...


  2) Also is there any way so that particular atoms can be minimized or
  ''touched'' ? Here in this case I removed three lipid residues but this
  will not be good say in case of proteins. Just as a analogy if this
 problem
  arises  in AMBER (rather I faced such problem many times) I can use xleap
  and can move atom a little and relax it particularly by selecting it , so
  that later if use the edited structure I get convergence properly without
  error.
 

 You can only do that by moving the coordinates by hand in the coordinate
 file before you give it to grompp. Your PE above is so large that this is
 not the right approach to fix the problem. I would guess your periodic box
 is not the one you were intended to use.

That procedure can work. That it works in your case surprises me a little.
