Dear all,
I am trying to get my feet wet with the Coarse-grained Force Field developed by Marrink et al.
I've downloaded the examples of top-File, gro-file and mdp-file for the Water model on Marrink's website.
Unfortunately, I didn't succeed to reproduce the diffusion constant and isothermal compressibility data found in Marrink's paper:
"Coarse-grained Model for Semi-Quantitative Lipid Simulations", J. Phys. Chem. B, 2004, 108, 750-760.
The gro-file contains 1728 W beads.
I didn't changed the parameters in the mdp-file: 100000 time Steps of 50 fs.
From g_energy, I obtained an isothermal compressibility of 1.25x10-5 bar-1 instead of 6x10-5 bar-1 found by Marrink.
From g_msd, I obtained a diffusion constant of 1.5x10-5 cm2/s instead of 5x10-6 cm2/s found by Marrink.
The Coarse-grained diffusion constant has to be multiply by 4 (a CG Water bead representing 4 Water molecule) in order to obtained a real diffusion constant of 2x10-5 cm2/s...
Do you have any idea why I am not able to reproduce Marrink's data?
Thank you for your help
Best Regards
Pierre Verstraete
