[gmx-users] high repulsion in packed system

2010-07-10 Thread Moeed
Hello everyone, I am trying to energy minimize a system of 8 polyethylene molecules with 60 units. In literature density of PE is reported 0.9 gr/cm3. Based on this I need to have each single chain in 3.3 nm^3. If I put this chain in a box of 15*0.5*0.5 =3.75 nm^3 I am close to the density I want.

I think there have been changes to the way pdb2gmx handles termini, perhaps related to the impending inclusion of the ffamber ports, but I do not know. I worked with someone else with this issue, and it was solved by renaming residues, which seems like a terrible solution. I guess your DNA i

Hi Thanks, I thought so too. My command line is: pdb2gmx -f xxx.pdb file The -ter flag is set to default, i.e. charged termini. When I use the -ter flag for interactive termini selection and I select NONE for both N- and C-ter the message becomes: Program pdb2gmx, VERSION 4.0.99-dev-2010

Dear all, thanks for your suggestions. During this NVT simulation, I keep nanotube rigid. So the temperature should only couple to Nitrogen instead of the whole system as my original input file. I will try to couple temperature only to nitrogen to see whether this is the reason. Many thanks again,
