[gmx-users] Doubts regarding Simulation box

2011-01-13 Thread Kavyashree M
Dear Gromacs users, I am new to gromacs. I want to simulate a system (protein) with a dodecahedron box in order to minimize the time. rlist = rcolumb = 1.2nm; (PME) rvdw = 1.1nm; rvdw_switch = 0 (using vdwtype = switch) so while setting the simulation box, should i give the

Thank you Tsjerk for your suggestions! So according to this my minimal box size should be 0.6nm in order to avoid PBS effects and due to the water effects i have to set it 1nm or higher. So this rule is irrespective of the box type we choose isnt it? I got the clue for my second question.

Hi MKS, So according to this my minimal box size should be 0.6nm in order to avoid PBS effects and due to the water effects i have to set it 1nm or higher. Well, not box size, but the distance from the solute to the box wall :) So this rule is irrespective of the box type we choose isnt

Thanks Tsjerk and Mark! After setting the box I measured the distance of the last protein atom and the box edge it was not same all the sides. Any comments on this? I have sent another question regarding minimization but no replys yet. Kindly reply Sir! Thanking you MKS On Fri, Jan 14, 2011

Hi MKS, The distance between the solute and the sides of the box is separate from the cutoffs. But, you want to have them large enough to avoid self-interaction across the PBC. So the distance has to be set larger than half the size of the cut-off. You probably shouldn't set it lower than 1nm
