[gmx-users] Re: Extend water layer along negative Z-direction

Hi ALL, Thanks a lot Chris, Justin and Tsjerk for yor replies. Actually, my problem is not fully resolved. A portion of the protein tail is outside the water box in the Z direction (coordinate in Z is -35). So as suggested by you when I am issuing the command editconf -f box.gro -o BOX.gro

Hi Anirban, You have to get a grip on PBC. What you're suggesting is like extending the earth only westward, but not eastward as something is sticking out in only one direction. It's impossible! The system is periodic.The box vectors are direction vectors, indicating the periodicity. Moreover,

Hi again, The energy minimization with conjugate gradient integrator still gives me two warnings of the type: t = 0.011 ps: Water molecule starting at atom 28122 can not be settled. Check for bad contacts and/or reduce the timestep. My command lines are: $grxdir/grompp -f 4AKEpreEMcg.mdp

Hi, I am trying to simulate a protein in aqueous solution 1M (KCl) with Gromacs and using the amber force field. I get the topology of the solvated protein - without the ions- from amber (Leap) and then used the script amb2gmx.pl to obtain the Gromacs .top and .gro files. I did not introduced

Hi Anirban, I suspect that your problem is that you define a box with zero x, zero y, and a negative z. I think it's time to read the manual. Hi ALL, Thanks a lot Chris, Justin and Tsjerk for yor replies. Actually, my problem is not fully resolved. A portion of the protein tail is outside the

Thank you very much for your answer. I have read some recent literature, and you are right, it is a problem about the parameters for ions in Amber. I have found this paper: Parameters of Monovalent Ions in the Amber-99 Forcefield: Assesment of Inaccuracies and Proposed Improvements

Hi Rebeca, I found out a few years ago that OPLS parameters for Na+ were inadequate for my simulations on surfactants aggregation due to the formation of stable (and unrealistic) ionic bridges. I got better structures using Aqvist's parameters (available in GROMACS), maybe you could try these
