[gmx-users] To invoke GPU in gromacs version 4.6.4

2017-03-05 Thread vinshal shalini
 i am trying to invoke GPU for my final mdrun step using the command
   mdrun -v -deffnm md -gup_id

Got the following : GPU ID string set, but mdrun was compiled without
GPU support.

I have also included cutoff-scheme = Verlet in the md.mdp file. Kindly help
me to troubleshoot this issue.


Thanks

Dear Justin,

Since I am not familiar with CHARMM force field (and crystal 
simulations as
well), my plan was to create the FF in CHARMM and then convert it to 
GMX
format.  I copied the quartz (100) structure reported in the paper 
above,
converting it in .mol2 format, adding PBC information (see mol2 
attached below).


Then I tried using CHARMM General Force Field (CGenFF) program
(https://cgenff.paramchem.org) uploading my .mol2 file. If I 
understand
correctly, the quartz parameters reported in the paper above should be 
present

in CGenFF program. However, I am getting error of the type:
"Now processing molecule Q100 ... attype warning: element not 
supported;skipped

molecule."



The parameters you need are not part of CGenFF at all.  They're CHARMM
force field parameters and are distinct from CGenFF.  They're in the
"silicates" subdirectory of the CHARMM toppar files available from the
link you quote above.

Since I read from this mailing list that some of you currently use 
CGenFF, I

would like to ask whether some of you have some advise on
how to get this force field for this structure running in GROAMCS, 
using CGenFF

or any other alternative way.



This will require additional force field files (those found in
"silicates") to be converted to GROMACS format.  Contact me off-list
if you need help doing this; there are various niche parts of the
CHARMM force field that I haven't converted simply because no one has
needed them and I don't have test cases for them.

I don't know anything about such structures, so the subsequent
application of the parameters is something you'll have to figure out,
likely by constructing a topology using gmx x2top.

That depends on the biological function of the protein and what is known about

But, after running the perl script  (perl distances.pl), did not obtain any

(1) Had applied the position restrain of the protein during NPT equilibration.

The script from the tutorial is designed for use with the tutorial and therefore 
makes assumptions about the groups that are in the index file.  Invoke gmx

Re: [gmx-users] NPT equilibration without pbc

2017-03-05 Thread Alex
I looked at that paper and there are no attempts to simulate liquid-gas 
equilibrium at normal atmospheric pressure. That aside, what the authors 
did instead is actually pretty mind-boggling: they replaced the droplet 
with a cylinder by making the system periodic in the out-of-plane 
direction.


This mailing list is probably not a great place for me to state my 
opinion on this (terrible) paper, but one can indeed do what the authors 
did. Just keep in mind that this is no longer a droplet, because the 
surface not facing the substrate has been removed.


However, the good news is that you can indeed (partially) simulate 
atmospheric pressure this way. To do this in Gromacs, simply use 
'pcoupltype = semiisotropic' and supply a very low compressibility value 
in the in-plane direction.

In a realistic system "1 bar" would come from the air environment + any
water evaporation in equilibrium with the liquid phase of the droplet. Even
if you made your surface periodic, pressure coupling would have nothing to
do with your finite droplet -- it would be in vacuum. Consider this work,
