[gmx-users] can we use Area per lipid: 1.00 nm^2

2014-08-07 Thread neha bharti
 Hello All

I am trying to perform MD for protein-ligand complex in popc lipid with
Charmm36 force field and also follow Justin A. Lemkul tutorial.
I performed

perl inflategro.pl system.gro 4 POPC 0 system_inflated.pdb 5 area.dat

followed by energy minimization then,


perl inflategro.pl em.gro 0.95 POPC 0 system_shrink1.gro 5 area_shrink1.dat

followed by energy minimization then after 16 iteration of scaling down by
0.95 I got Area per lipid: 1.00 nm^2.


In 17th iteration  Area per lipid become 0.80 nm^2. but after that when I
visualize the .gro file i.e system_shrink17.gro the ligand molecule is far
from protein and out of lipid.

But till 16th iteration its inside the lipid in its normal position.


Should I perform till 16th iteration which gives area per lipid 1.00 nm^2 ?
Is it a good value for Area per lipid ??

or there is some error in my files.

My topology file is :


; Include forcefield parameters
#include charmm36_lipid.ff/forcefield.itp

; Include Position restraint file
#ifdef POSRES
#include posre.itp
#endif

; Include ligand topology
#include LIG.itp

; Ligand position restraints
#ifdef POSRES
#include posre_LIG.itp
#endif

Thank you very much.

Absolutely not.  That's 100 A^2.

InflateGRO doesn't know how to deal with ligands.  You need to add the ligand in 
after building the protein-membrane system.

or there is some error in my files.

My topology file is :


; Include forcefield parameters
#include charmm36_lipid.ff/forcefield.itp

; Include Position restraint file
#ifdef POSRES
#include posre.itp
#endif



This position restraint file does not correspond to any [moleculetype] and will 
have no effect when used (more likely you'll get a fatal error).  If this is 
related to the protein, leave its original location alone.
