Re: [gmx-users] Steered MD in reverse direction?

2011-11-04 Thread Sanku M
Thanks for the suggestion.
 Also, I was wondering how one can get the time profile of the irreversible 
work from the gromacs pull-code out put . From constant pulling-rate SMD, we 
get time profile of force pullf.xvg and pullx.xvg. I wonder does multiplying 
the the value from pullx.xvg and value from pullf.xvg will provide the work . 
Or, will it be force ( obtained from pullf.xvg) multiplied by pulling rate 
multiplied by time ?

 Hi,

pulling..I have done the steered MD simulation in a particular direction i.e 
hav pulled the molecule out of complex.
 But, to check the convergence/hysterisis of the pulled path way, I would like 
 to perform the same steered MD in reverse direction i.e push the molecule 
 back into the complex. But, I was wondering, to perform the backward steered 
 MD, how should I modify the .mdp parameters?  Should I make the pull_rate1 
 negative or switch the pull_group0 and pull_group1 ?  Any help will be 
 appreciated.
 

Use a negative pull rate.  But simple pulling like this can be difficult; 
you're now trying to hit a moving target.  A slight rotation of the protein can 
render the whole simulation junk - your pulled molecule may smack into some 
undesired location.

 The following is the part of the pull-code parameter I am using:
 ; Pull code
 pull            = umbrella
 pull_geometry   = distance  ; simple distance increase
 pull_dim        = N N Y
 pull_start      = yes       ; define initial COM distance  0
 pull_ngroups    = 1
 pull_group0     = Mol_A
 pull_group1     = Mol_B
 pull_rate1      = 0.0025      ; 0.01 nm per ps = 10 nm per ns
 pull_k1         = 1000      ; kJ mol^-1 nm^-2
