Re: [gmx-users] Potential Energy

2010-01-27 Thread Yanmei Song
I did not develop the force field of my molecule by myself. In stead I use
the literature force field parameters. I guess not all the force field need
the [pairs]. As long as I can get reasonable experimental observables, I can
use such force field, right?

Dear Justin:

I finally figure out that the problem comes from the Coulomb 1-4
interactions defined by [pairs] part. When I remove this parts, the energy
minimization ends with a big negative number. Thanks for your help.

[gmx-users] Potential Energy

2010-01-26 Thread Yanmei Song
Dear Users:

I am in the process of setting up a new system.  I have a 8.0*8.0*8.0 nm3
system which include 27800 molecules. When the system approach equilibrium,
I found the potential energy is +3e5 (big positive number). Is this normal?
Since based on my experience, for systems in such size, the potential energy
is usually a big negative number? Does this mean that my force field
parameter or molecule structure have problems? Thanks in advance!

I build up my polymer molecules in PRODRG and got the .gro and .itp file.
Then anyone knows how I can transfer or edit the itp file into OPLS force

Re: [gmx-users] How to calculate the block averaging error from non-equilibrium MD simulations

2009-11-20 Thread Yanmei Song
Dear Justin:

Thank you so much for your quick response.

But I still don't get it. Should I calculate the standard error manually by
using the equations A17 (in B. Hess' s paper) after I get the result by
g_analyze. And then which value I should use for the sigma?

Here is the output :

invalid fit:  e.e. 15.6513  a 2.17585  tau1 28.9321  tau2 46.3966
Will use a single exponential fit for set 1
Set   1:  err.est. 21.0339  a 1  tau1 15.1648  tau2 0

I really appreciate your patience and help!

electrostatics treatments will affect my results. So the heating up is
normal by using a plain cut-off and the results can not be trusted, right?

[gmx-users] The Cut-off for coulombtype heat up the water system?

Re: [gmx-users] Viscosity using periodic perturbation method

2009-05-27 Thread Yanmei Song
Dear Berk:

Thank you so much for your help!

I read your paper: " Determing the shear viscosity of model liquids from
molecular dynamics simulations"  You used NVT? My question is which one is
better? NPT or NVT?

"Strictly speaking it might be incorrect, but since pressure scaling is
usually less than 1%
it will not affect your results significantly."

So technically we should use NVT for the periodic perturbation method,
right? Thanks!

Re: [gmx-users] shift function for vdwtype and density

2009-05-19 Thread Yanmei Song
Dear David:

Thank you so much for the valuable information.

"Our conclusion in the above paper is to use PME for Coulomb and not shift
Van der Waals"

I have read the paper you mentioned and did not find how you treated the
VdW. Have you done some work on the cut off method for vdw? Since I used PME
for Coulomb in my system. I am still confusing why not shift for vdw.

" I would also recommend to use TIP4P rather than TIP5P, as Jorgensen uses
TIP4P for all his parameterizations."

I have read Jorgensen's paper for the OPLS and realized that the TIP4P would
be the first choice for combining with OPLS. However my concern is that
TIP4P model is not as good as TIP5P in terms of diffusion constant and
viscosity which are extremely important for my purpose.

I also have compared SPC and TIP4P and turn out that SPC can give a better
result for my system. Unfornately SPC has a very bad viscosity as TIP4P. So
I am trying TIP5P.

Do you think OPLS+ TIP5P can cause serious problem or horrible artifacts. If
you can suggest some literatures on this that would be great.

I really appericate all your help!

Dear Justin:

Yes and I tried dispersion correction and it gives a larger density than I
expected.  The density of the polymer by vdwtype=shift is more close to the
experimental value. Then your suggestion would be to choose the
vdwtype=cut-off under this condition even if it result in larger density?

Re: [gmx-users] shift function for vdwtype and density

2009-05-18 Thread Yanmei Song
Dear Justin:

Yes. Before I do the water+polymer, I did both the bulk systems separately.
The density of TIP5P I mentioned earlier is the results for pure water bulk
system. My concern is that if it is reasonable that the property of the
system changes with different mdp conditions? Since when I did the bulk
water and bulk polymer system, I found the densities change with different
cutoff and vdwtype conditions. Is this a artifact? Or the larger cutoff, the
more accurate result we can get?

Dear Mark:

Thanks for your answer. I have to use the same mdp file for both water and
another polymer molecules in my system, right?  Then if the shift function
works well for the polymer, I can not get the best result for TIP5P?  The
density of TIP5P is different from the literature value of 982. Thanks!

Dear All:

I found when I changed the vdwtype from cut-off to shift, the density of the
system decrease significantly.All the other setting in the mdp file remain
unchanged. For example the density of TIP5P water drops to 962. Does it mean
I can not use the shift for vdwtype?

Re: [gmx-users] Re: parameter of RB potential for OPLS force field

2009-05-18 Thread Yanmei Song
Dear Justin:

Thanks for your response. I saw this in the ffoplsaabon.itp, which I think
is a Periodic potential.

 [ dihedraltypes ]
;  ijkl   func coefficients
; Added DvdS for Quartz simulations
   SI   OS1 0.000   3.766  3
   SI   OH1 0.000   3.766  3

Does this mean that we can still use a periodic potential combined with OPLS
force field since it seems OPLS also consists of the periodic potential
besides RB. It doesn't have to be necessary to use RB for the proper
dihedral when you use OPLS force field, right?

Thank you so much for your help!

Yes, I have read that part and still have no idea how can I do that.  That
part tells us how to transfer from the OPLS parameters Vi to RB potential in
GROMOS force field Ci.  Now what I have is phi and k for periodic potential.
Is there any way I can get Ci for RB potential from phi and k in order to

If I have the parameters of GROMOS force field for the proper dihedral,

Re: [gmx-users] Pressure coupling and cut-off

2009-05-15 Thread Yanmei Song
Dear Justin:

Thank you for your suggestions. using shift for vdwtype helps a lot.

Can I ask you another question? The density of my system is about 8% larger
than the experimental value. Do you have any suggestions on how to reduce
the density of the system. Or once the force field and all the parameters
are fixed, the density is independent of the MD procedure? I am using NPT
ensemble with the mdp I mentioned before with added vdwtype = shift.

[gmx-users] Pressure coupling and cut-off

2009-05-14 Thread Yanmei Song
Dear All:

I have question about the pressure coupling. I have done a 10ns simulation
with 19800 atoms for 120 large molecules using the following pressure
coupling.

Tcoupl  =  berendsen
tc_grps =  PDM
tau_t   =  0.1
ref_t   =  300

Pcoupl  =  berendsen
pcoupltype  =  isotropic
;pc-grps=  PDM
tau_p   =  1.0
ref_p   =  1.0
compressibility =  4.5e-5

Then I did g_energy for the last 3ns and got the results:

Energy  Average   RMSD Fluct.  Drift
Tot-Drift
---
Potential-98061  0  00.61668
1850.04
Temperature 303.561109.602109.602 0.000181791
0.545372
Pressure (bar)   4.48840.811109.8  -0.169835
-509.506

For such a long run the pressure drift is still too much and seem hasn't
approached 1bar. Does it mean the system hasn't reach equilibrium yet. I did
a similar system by using the same method. it just take 2 or 3ns to reach
the equilibrium. and the pressure is around 1.01after the run. The only
difference is the cutoff changing from 1.2 to 1.4.  Does the cufoff of 1.4
is too large to make the system running slower. Or the pressure coupling
method is not working well.  Anyone can give me any suggestions?

Re: [gmx-users] Some molecules disconnected into many parts after EM

2009-05-11 Thread Yanmei Song
Dear Justin:

-
Program mdrun_d, VERSION 4.0.4
Source code file: gmx_fft_mkl.c, line: 825

Fatal error:
Error executing Intel MKL FFT.
---

I really could not find out what is the reason for the error above. Do you
mean something is wrong with the installation. if this is the case then
should I re-install it?

This morning I did the same procedure with the same input file using
gromacs-3.3.3 ( which means I did all the editconf, genbox EM, and mdrun in
3.3.3) and the mdrun works well. So I think there must be something wrong
with the 4.0.4. How can I fix this?

Anyone had the same problem before?

Re: [gmx-users] Some molecules disconnected into many parts after EM

2009-05-08 Thread Yanmei Song
Dear Justin:

Thanks for your message.

When I open the gro file using VMD it shows:

atom:1950
bonds 1907
residue:43

I was thinking the problem may not come from the artifact of visualization.
Since if the gro file is fine it should be like:

atom:1950
bonds 1944
residue:6

because I have 6 chains in the box.

This morning I found that it seems the problem was resolved by increasing
the box size. Why is that?

[gmx-users] Some molecules disconnected into many parts after EM

2009-05-07 Thread Yanmei Song
Dear users:

I set up a 8nm cubic box with 6 long chain molecules. After EM, there is no
error message. However I found that in the gro file by visualization, 2 of
the chains has been split in many parts, which means many bonds in the
molecules disconnected. And also the other 4 are good. I checked em.log and
eveyting looks fine.

Steepest Descents converged to machine precision in 1545 steps,
but did not reach the requested Fmax < 10.
Potential Energy  = -7.51461594735782e+03
Maximum force =  2.66505909651672e+02 on atom 1256
Norm of force =  9.84300153087768e+00

Anyone knows how to solve the problem? Thanks in advance!

[gmx-users] How to set up the cut-off radius

2009-05-07 Thread Yanmei Song
Dear All:

I am working on a large polymer molecule system. The single molecules has a
dimension of 5nm. My question is how can I set up the cut-off in my md.mdp.
I tried  the cut-off of 1.2 and got the following two notes:

  The optimal PME mesh load for parallel simulations is below 0.5
  and for highly parallel simulations between 0.25 and 0.33,
  for higher performance, increase the cut-off and the PME grid spacing

*#1:  For the note 1, do I have to change to V-rescale thermostat. since I
used Berendsen for my prior systems and i want to be  consistent.
#2:  How large should the cut-off be? Do I have to set up the cut-off to be
larger than the dimension of the single molecule?

Thank you so much for your help in advance!*

Also I have checked that it works well in gmx_3.3.3. Anyone can tell me what
is the problem ?  Thanks!

 Dear All:

I just installed the gmx_4.0.4 double precision.

When I do EM, the grompp_d command has no problem. However after I submit
the job, it gives me the following error. Anyone can tell me what is the
problem which may cause that? By the way, in 4.0.4, it can only use 4 CPU,
right? Can we still specify how much CPU we want to use by -np?

Re: [gmx-users] Error by pdb2gmx

2009-05-05 Thread Yanmei Song
Dear Mark:

This error is being provoked at the top of the .rtp file when a line with
something like "[header]" is not parsing suitably. A while ago I suggested
using diff on the .rtp file. Do that.


Would you mind telling me how to do that in detail?

I tried the following and it doesn't work.

diff
[ PDM ]

  [ atoms ]

That means both the rtp and pdb files work in your GROMACS-4.0.4.  For
the issue of" PDME residue has a net +0.3 charge" , I should change
the charge to 0 for Si in PDME, which I have ignored.  I will update
the software and see if it works. Thanks so much for your help!

Hi, Dallas:

I added this to the ffoplsaa.rtp

[ PDM ]

[ atoms ]
  SI   SI 0.300 1
   CH3  opls_0690.000 1

SI   CH3


 [ dihedrals ]

  SI O   SI   CH3 dih_PDM_chi1_SI_O_SI_C
   OSIO  SI  dih_PDM_chi1_O_SI_O_SI

The format is the same with other entries. Do you guys think anything
wrong with it?

Also what does it mean by the error message:

what is "Source code file: resall.c, line: 289"  It seems the problem

Dear Dallas:

Thanks for your response. It consists of many repeating units. Do you
mean I can write the rtp entry for one repeating unit and give it a
residue name. After that I need to insert this into the force field
rtp file, right? How can I do that? It seems I can not change the rtp
file.  Thanks.

Re: [gmx-users] Error by pdb2gmx

2009-04-28 Thread Yanmei Song
Dear Justin:

Do you have any suggestions on how I can get the itp and gro file for
a very long polymer molecules (for example 500 united-atoms), which
only consists of Si, O and C atom. I can use PRODRG to generate a
short chain. But PRODRG has limitation of atom numbers in a molecule,
probably less than 300. So any ideas for building up a long chain
based on the short chain? By the way, I already have the force field
parameters.

Thanks a lot!

[gmx-users] Error by pdb2gmx

2009-04-28 Thread Yanmei Song
Dear All users:

I was trying to set up a long chain polymer system. I got the
following PDB file from WebLab. How can I make changes to the file in
order to make it as a GROMACS input pdb file. Then I can use pdb2gmx
to get the gro, itp and top file.

When I perform the pdb2gmx command, I got the error message:

Residue 'MOL' not found in residue topology database

Thank you in advance!

Re: [gmx-users] Non-equilibrium Viscosity Calculation

2009-04-20 Thread Yanmei Song
  Hi, David:

  I performed the NEMD and got the following results for averaging the
last 1 ns. So the second column should be the acceleration and last
column should be the 1/viscosity. But notice that there are so many
big negative numbers, which makes the average negative. Can you help
me out here? what would be possible reason for this.

Re: [gmx-users] Non-equilibrium Viscosity Calculation

2009-04-20 Thread Yanmei Song
Dear David:

Thank you for your answer. i still have several questions.

Do I have to start the non-equilibrium simulation after the system
reach the equilibrium? Or I just need to start at the same starting
point as the my equilibrium systems?

What I need to do is just add the cos_acceleration: to the mdp file
and nothing else need to be changed, right?  Also what do you mean by
"You need to do a few values such that you can extrapolate to zero
acceleration."

After I finish the run, what option I should use for g_energy in order
to get the viscosity?

Thank you so much in advance!

[gmx-users] Non-equilibrium Viscosity Calculation

2009-04-16 Thread Yanmei Song
Dear All:

I wanted to get the viscosity of my simulated polymer system. From the
manual it said that : GROMACS also has a non-equilibrium method for
determining the viscosity" (page 123) Does this mean I just need to do
a separate non-equilibrium MD run? In terms of mdp file, I just need
to add the following options, right?
acc_grps:
accelerate:
cos_acceleration:

My question is: first, how to set the value of cos_acceleration: ?
Second, after I finish the run, how can I get the viscosity from the
simulation result? Anyone has done this yet? Thank you so much for
your answer in advance.

Hi, Berk:

I saw your paper about the viscosity calculation method. Can you tell
me what exactly I should do using GROMACS to get the fluid viscosity?
I used GROMACS-3.3.3 single precision. Thanks a lot in advance.

Re: [gmx-users] how to calculate the viscosity of the bulk

2009-02-09 Thread Yanmei Song
Dear All:

Does anyone knows how to calculate the viscosity of the simulated
system except the g_energy -vis. Because I saw some literature that
they can get the viscosity but I don't know how.Thanks a lot!

[gmx-users] Question about the pairs parameters

2009-01-29 Thread Yanmei Song
Hi,

If I want to define non bonded interactions in my top. I already have
the sigma and epsi values. What I wanted to do is to to use
combination rule 2, then how should I write the pairs part?

ai  aj  fuc0, c1, ...
   1   6   1   ;   CAA  CBH
   2   7   1   ;   CBF  CAG
   2   8   1   ;   CBF  CAH
   2   9   1   ;   CBF  OAY
   3   6   1   ;   CAB  CBH
   4   6   1   ;   CAC  CBH
   5  10   1   ;   OAW  CBJ

So does the function here means the combination rule, or I need to
define it in [defaults] ? if it is the latter, then what does the
functions means here? The value i need to put here for c0 and c1 then
should be sigma and epsi, right?  Thank you so much for your answer in
advance!

Sorry to bother you so much times. Above is the real parameter I used
in my top file which probably specified the dihedrals as periodic
(function 1) . But I also used OPLS force field which should read
different parameters as RB. So when the MD runs, does it just read
this parameters in the periodic dihedrals as a RB parameter? If my top
is in a wrong form, how can md runs well and give a good result?

Re: [gmx-users] Question about the dihedrals in top file using OPLS force field in GROMACS

2009-01-28 Thread Yanmei Song
What makes me so confused is that I used this top for the MD run using
ffoplsaa.itp and the there are no error message. Also I got a good
result compared to experiment. Does it mean that what I did is totally
wrong with using this top in combination with OPLS?

Also if I used the atom type in opls_x with the x is less than 135,
then it should be OPLS UA force field right? if I want to use OPLS,
How can we get the top? Thank you so much for your help!

Re: [gmx-users] Question about the dihedrals in top file using OPLS force field in GROMACS

2009-01-28 Thread Yanmei Song
Hi,Justin:

Thanks for your response.

I have read that part and still confused. Does it mean that if I
choose the ffoplsaa.itp in my top, I used the RB potential for
Dihedrals or the periodic type? Also actually I can only get the
parameters for phi, cp and mult (listed above) Can I use these
parameters directly for my itp user ffoplsaa force field? Thanks a
lot!

[gmx-users] Question about the dihedrals in top file using OPLS force field in GROMACS

2009-01-28 Thread Yanmei Song
Hi,

I am using ffoplsaa.itp as my force field to do a simulation using GROMACS.
I have a question about how to write the parameters in dihedrals in
the itp file.

[ dihedrals ]
; ai  aj  ak  al  fuc0, c1, m, ...
   1   2   5   6   10.03.77   30.03.77   3 ; dih   CAA
 CBF  OAW  CBH
   2   5   6   9   10.03.77   30.03.77   3 ; dih   CBF
 OAW  CBH  OAY
   5   6   9  10   10.03.77   30.03.77   3 ; dih   OAW
 CBH  OAY  CBJ
   6   9  10  13   10.03.77   30.03.77   3 ; dih   CBH
 OAY  CBJ  OBA
   9  10  13  14   10.03.77   30.03.77   3 ; dih   OAY
 CBJ  OBA  CBL

Then if I am choosing ffoplsaa.itp force field, what is the meaning
for c0,c1 and m under the [dihedrals]? Since i know that GROMOS and
OPLS force field have a different format for proper dihedrals. For
OPLS it seems there are four other parameter like v1 v2 v3 v4. Then my
question is how can i define the dihedral parameters in itp file based
on ffoplsaa force field in GROMACS? Thanks a lot!
