Re: [gmx-users] peptide ligand
Dear Justin I performed NVT equilibration for 300 ps , it was done successfully. Yesterday I wanna do NPT equilibration , so used your npt.mdp file in the GROMACS tutorial and replaced energgroups and tc-groups by Protein and Protein water-ions, respectively, specified nstep = 15 , but when I entered, noticed I had md.log file not npt.log. and it runs to 272000 steps . Why?Would you please help me how come it runs this way?

[gmx-users] peptide ligand
Dear GROMACS users I need to run a MD on my Protein-peptide ligand complex in GROMACS. I generated my ligand topology by gromose96 54a7 ff ( [moleculetypes] was Protein_chain_B) and converted it to .itp file to string it in Protein.top file, then, added Protein_chain_B in [ molecules ] directive to create one topology file for my complex. Created newbox and solvate. But when I gave this command:gmx grompp -f em_real.mdp -c solv_ions.gro -p topol.top -o em.tpr I faced to this error: Group Protein_chain_B referenced in the .mdb file was not found in the index file. Group names must match either [moleculetype] names or custom index group names, in which case you must supply an index file to the '-n' option of grompp. In spite of , my ligand [ moleculetypes ] in the ligand.itp file is Protein_chain_B , but GROMACS gives error. Would you please advice me how can I solve this problem?

For safety reasons, GROMACS-2016 and later only allows file appending to be used when all files have the same names as they had in the original run. Checkpointing is merely intended for plain continuation of runs. For safety reasons you must specify all file names (e.g. with -deffnm), and all these files must match the names used in the run prior to checkpointing since we will append to them by default. If the files are not available, you can add the -noappend flag to mdrun and write separate new parts.

Dear GROMACS users I noticed my ligand has some broken bonds and changes in atoms arrengement after md simulation was done. I have read before that no bond is broken and created in simulation . So why have been ligand changed ? I think, i have to notice that when i wanted to create a ligand topology , i used ATB server to create topology and pdb files. and when wanted to reassign the charges and charge groups, noticed that some of the atoms of ligand that have to be in a charge group, were not successive , so decided to rearrange them and replaced them to place them in a charge group. I dont know if it is possible the brocken bonds in the ligand after simulation for 1 ns because of its topology?I am using gromacs 2016.3 and gromos96 54 a7 ff. thanks in advanceTavakoli -- Gromacs Users mailing list * Please search the archive at http://www.gromacs.org/Support/Mailing_Lists/GMX-Users_List before posting! * Can't post?

[gmx-users] equilibration
Hi justin Thank you for reply and sorry for sending in another email, because when i wanted to reply, it was rejected.Actually, since i am a new gromacs user, i used all .mdp files ( em.mdp, nvt.mdp,...) in protein-ligand complex ( lysosym 4 ) tuturial in gromacs. And did all the steps and issued all commands that said in this tuturial . I also generated my ligand topology by PRODRG and edited the charges and charge groups . To edit atome charge, according to aminoacids.rtp file, i considered what my atomes are bonded to , in order to best give their charge. Then , regarding to the article : Practical considerations for building GROMOS-compatible small-molecule topologiesEditted the charge groups , but i think , maybe i was wrong in specifying charg groups. In addition, i noticed that there was a wrong bond in the gromacs topology ang gromacs cordinate files, so i corrected them but i dont know if i did right? These are all that i did. I dont know more about generating ligand topology but informatin that said in this tuturial. If you let me, send my ligand topology file to you?

Hi Justin Thank you so much for your reply about minimize ligand in vacuoaccording to :http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Terminology/Blowing_Up#Diagnosing_an_Unstable_System I minimized my protein and ligand alone to fix the problem ( LINCS warning, ( one or more water molecules can not to be settled . check for bad contacts or reduce time step))I checked my protein in desired solvent as i noticed in the previous mail, and it was stable. i minimized my ligand too in vacuo with the .mdp file which you advised me, it was minimized well and monitored by pymol, its configuration was ok. In addition, I reduced the time step from 0,002 to 0.001 , but got the same error in 2 steps.then, reduced the temperature to 100 k , but the same error displayed again. Actually, I cant understand some advices and causes in this site. like: I dont understand some of causes and advices in this site, include:1) you are doing particle insertion in free energy calculations without using soft core2) your position restraints are to coordinates too different from those present in the system3) Make sure the forces don't get that large How can i make sure the forces dont get that large?

I constructed my protein topology by using gromos 43a1 and this command:pdb2gmx -f 4LY1.pdb -o 4LY1.gro -water spc then made a complex.gro file which include 4LY1.gro and DRG.gro which i got from PRODRG site. I also copy paste ; Include ligand topology #include "DRG.itp" in the topology file and added DRG as a ligand in [ molecules ] directive. Then I defined box by using this command : gmx editconf -f complex.gro -o newbox.gro -bt dodecahedron -d 1.0 then defined solvate by : gmx solvate -cp newbox.gro -cs spc216.gro -p topol.top -o solv.gro then used grommp to assemble a .tpr file by using a .mdp file and this command : gmx grompp -f em.mdp -c solv.gro -p topol.top -o ions.tpr that was my .mdp afile : integrator = steep ; Algorithm (steep = steepest descent minimization) emtol = 1000.0; Stop minimization when the maximum force < 10.0 kJ/mol emstep = 0.01 ; Energy step size nsteps = 5 ; Maximum number of (minimization) steps to perform energygrps = system; Which energy group(s) to write to disk ; Parameters describing how to find the neighbors of each atom and how to calculate the interactions nstlist = 1 ; Frequency to update the neighbor list and long range forces cutoff-scheme = Verlet ns_type = grid ; Method to determine neighbor list (simple, grid) rlist = 1.0 ; Cut-off for making neighbor list (short range forces) coulombtype = PME ; Treatment of long range electrostatic interactions rcoulomb= 1.0 ; long range electrostatic cut-off rvdw= 1.0 ; long range Van der Waals cut-off pbc = xyz ; Periodic Boundary Conditions and added 2 CL ions since my total charge was 2.00 because of zn ion. gmx genion -s ions.tpr -o solv_ions.gro -p topol.top -pname NA -nname CL -nn 2 then for minimization, i replaced energygroups from system to protein DRG in em_real.mdp. that was my em_real.mdp file: integrator = steep ; Algorithm (steep = steepest descent minimization) emtol = 1000.0; Stop minimization when the maximum force < 10.0 kJ/mol emstep = 0.01 ; Energy step size nsteps = 5 ; Maximum number of (minimization) steps to perform energygrps = protein DRG ; Which energy group(s) to write to disk ; Parameters describing how to find the neighbors of each atom and how to calculate the interactions nstlist = 1 ; Frequency to update the neighbor list and long range forces cutoff-scheme = Verlet ns_type = grid ; Method to determine neighbor list (simple, grid) rlist = 1.0 ; Cut-off for making neighbor list (short range forces) coulombtype = PME ; Treatment of long range electrostatic interactions rcoulomb= 1.0 ; long range electrostatic cut-off rvdw= 1.0 ; long range Van der Waals cut-off pbc = xyz ; Periodic Boundary Conditions and typed these command: gmx grompp -f em_real.mdp -c solv_ions.gro -p topol.top -o em.tprand gmx mdrun -v -deffnm em GROMACS replies: Steepest Descents converged to Fmax < 1000 in 1833 steps Potential Energy = -5.6356275e+05 Maximum force = 9.7815100e+02 on atom 3452 Norm of force = 3.1465845e+01 Simulation ended prematurely, no performance report will be written. Is there any problem that simulation ended prematurely? Then for equilibriation i typed gmx genrestr -f jz4.gro -o posre_jz4.itp -fc 1000 1000 1000 and in order to restrain both the protein and the ligand simultaneously, I specify define = -DPOSRES -DPOSRES_LIG in the .mdp file. then typed gmx make_ndx -f em.gro -o index.ndx to merge the protein and DRG. and selected protein and DRG by : > 1 | 14 > qthen set tc_grps = Protein_DRG Water_and_ions in NVT.mdp file to achieve my > desired "Protein Non-Protein" effect. that was my NVT.mdp file: title = Protein-ligand complex NVT equilibration define = -DPOSRES -DPOSRES_LIG ; position restrain the protein and ligand integrator = md ; leap-frog integratornsteps = 5 ; 2 * 5 = 100 psdt
