[gmx-users] Realistic water simulation

2015-11-25 Thread Mario Fernández Pendás
Dear All,

Is it realistic to perform simulations of a SPC water system consisting on
864 elements. Should I increase the size?
The force field used is OPLS-AA/L.

Thank you very much.

Best,
Mario

[gmx-users] Umbrella sampling and dividing the forces into mean force + friction force + random force

2015-11-25 Thread gozde ergin
Dear gromacs users,

I would like ask a question about the force of umbrella sampling.
I did umbrella sampling by pulling a water molecule from gas phase to
organic coated bulk water.
I estimated the free energy profile on this reaction coordinate.
In order to calculate the random force-force auto-correlation I need to
extract the random force on pulled molecule. The force along a reaction
coordinate consists of three terms, (i) the mean force as the derivative of
the free energy surface, (ii) friction, and (iii) random force.
I used gromacs tool g_traj to extract the force on pulled molecule however
I do not know how to get the random (iii) force out of it.
I would greatly appreciate it if you kindly give me an advise about a way
to extract random forces from the overall forces?

Best regards

[gmx-users] Hamiltonian REMD

Could you please tell me how I can perform Hamiltonian replica exchange
simulations in Gromacs version 5.0.4 without using PLUMED?

Thanks

Most of this should still be applicable for 5.0.4.

quite realistic but far from perfect. Read the literature!
I assume you mean TIP4P or TIP3P. TIP4P, in particular in one of the 
later incarnations /Ew or /2005 is probably superior and still cheap.


Thank you very much.

Dear David,

Thank you very much for your answer.

I am using a flexible version of the model from
http://journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevB.31.2643

Cheers,
Mario

Dear Bope,

I would expect that *positive* pressures would compress the box. If
you set the reference temperature to a negative value, the barostat
would tend to increase the box volume such that the pressue measured
in the box drops to the negative reference value. Try a positive
reference pressure.

-0.2 is a really small pressure, much smaller in absolute value than
the typical fluctuations in NPT. Is this value sensible? What
pressures would you expect experimentally to comprepress your box?

How dense is your box? Do you have a dense liquid or a low density gas? Vacuum?

Are you trying to compress your box (in the z-direction) so the box
height is adequate in order to reproduce some density? In this case
you are running a pre-equilibration and maybe the berendsen barostat
would give you better results (converge faster, flucutuate less). All
depends on what you are trying to accomplish.

Greetings from a cloudy yet hot Natal,

[gmx-users] service broken?

2015-11-25 Thread Albert

Hello:

I am trying to download the latest CHARMM forcefield for Gromacs from:

http://mackerell.umaryland.edu/charmm_ff.shtml

However, I cannot connect to it in the last 10 days. Does anybody have 
any idea what's happening?


thanks a lot
