Isn't this just a protonated arginine (normal state for neutral pH) with a 
chloride counterion?  There's nothing special about it, just run a coordinate

[gmx-users] re-equilbrating membrane protein system after g_membed and ligand addition

2011-07-29 Thread Peter C. Lai
I was looking at the g_membed paper recently, and noticed the authors only
spent 10ns to re-equilibrate the membedded-system after g_membeding.
This they also did after bumping the temperature from 300 to 323K to prevent
ordering of the bilayer even though the typical simulation temperatures of 
POPC is 300 to 310K...Anyone know why 323K was used? Was it to compare it
to the DOPC environment or something?

I noticed for my particular system, I had to run a round of EM on the 
post-membedded system in order to resolve some clashes before I could mdrun. 
Then I ran 10ns in NPT with gen_vel=yes at 310K and position restraints on 
the helix CA atoms. I am inferring that because the membrane patch I used had 
been previously equilibrated after I constructed it and ran it under NPT at 
300K for 100ns, 10ns should be sufficient time to re-equilibrate with the
protein in the middle and 310K temperature?

After the 10ns with protein restrained, I ran Grid_MAT on it and got a 
reasonable APL (61-62A^2/lipid when taking protein atoms into account,
comparable to pre-g_membed patch) and the box dimensions look stable. Is
this sufficient to answer the abvove question?

Now I am going to be introducing a ligand to the protein. Is there a way to 
preserve any state, like velocities of all the previous atoms? I was thinking
of the doing the EM while freezing everything but the ligand atoms and 
allowing the ligand to change conformation (like a docking refinement). After 
this, can I have the thermostat and barostat rescale the original velocities
(and gradually heat the ligand) instead of reinitialising everything?

I generally find that membrane protein systems need at least 20 ns or so to 
really be equilibrated, but perhaps your system is a bit different.  10 ns is 
about the shortest time you can use to start seeing translational relaxation 
(rotational relaxation of lipids is shorter, roughly 5 ns).


After the 10ns with protein restrained, I ran Grid_MAT on it and got a 
reasonable APL (61-62A^2/lipid when taking protein atoms into account,

comparable to pre-g_membed patch) and the box dimensions look stable. Is

Could be.  Seems reasonable.

preserve any state, like velocities of all the previous atoms? I was thinking

I doubt it.  By introducing new atoms into the system, you can't use a 
checkpoint file any more so you lose the state you had before.  You can preserve 
velocities in a .gro file, but I can't think of a reasonable way to have those 
read (while not having velocities for the ligand) and then heat up the ligand. 
You'd have to use gen_vel = no in conjunction with simulated annealing, which 
sounds like a recipe for instability.  Is there any particular reason you think 
a specific set of velocities is required?  Random sampling is all part of 
running proper simulations, so you need multiple, independent states to converge 
to get a reliable result, anyway.

Well I picked 10ns since the authors of g_membed claim that their g_membed
packs so well (at least compared to say, inflateGRO) *shrug*. In fact, they 
claim that you can re-equilbrate in only 1ns after g_membed. In addition to
APL, they measured deuterium order parameter and the density profile of water
in z-axis columns, but they didn't elaborate on these other 2 metrics...

Yeah didn't think so, but worth a thought. Just trying to look ways to save
computational time. Wolf et al (the g_membed authors) seem to suggest that
if the structure is already close-to or at equilibrium, then it should take
little to to re-equilibrate when you have minimal perturbation...

[gmx-users] Dimensionless units question

2011-07-29 Thread Alex Marshall
Hi all,

I'm trying to calculate the force on one particle and the total
electrostatic energy of my system, which consists of a lattice of 25 evenly
spaced charges in the xy plane and a single charge in the center above to
preserve charge neutrality. The reference values I have been given are in
dimensionless units, so I am tasked with either converting my output to
dimensionless units or having gromacs work in reduced units from the get go.
I have set the mass of each charge to 1, the magnitude of the charge on each
particle to 1, and the values of the C6 and C12 parameters in my itp file to
4.0, since I'm just using gmx.ff for this (hopefully simple) calculation.
I've turned off temperature coupling because this is purely a test of the
handling of electrostatics with 3D Ewald summation plus the correction for
slab geometry. However, the force and energy I calculate are still quite far
from the reference values. Have I missed anything if I want my output to be
in dimensionless units?

Thanks,
Alex

reduced units works for LJ particles only. I am not sure if it works when

So if I understand you correctly, any LJ interaction I impose on these

I am not sure what you want to measure. You mentioned that force and energy
I calculate are still quite far from the reference values, now are you only
looking at electrostatic contributions to these or the total contributions?
If its total contribution then LJ parameters should also be correct and for
that you should switch to standard gromacs units.

Also why do you need to use gmx.ff, seems to me that you already have the
parameters (ie the LJ parameters and charges)

 Hi Amit,

 So if I understand you correctly, any LJ interaction I impose on these

 electrostatics, right? How then might I go about comparing the dimensionless

 I've turned off temperature coupling because this is purely a test of the

Why not use 0 for LJ parameters? You will have to figure out the units of
energy and force in the reference otherwise you cannot make the comparison.

[gmx-users] umbrella sampling

I used umbrella sampling method to restrain the distance of two molecules at 
several distances. Then I can use g_wham to get the free energy as a function 
of the distance. Is there any way that I can get the free energy as a function

If you're not sure, you should read the papers.  Many of these pertain to 
specific functional groups and molecules that for which parameters were derived 
(see atomtypes.atp for instance).  If you did not utilize these groups, then 
citing that particular paper would be unnecessary.

[gmx-users] umbrella sampling

2011-07-29 Thread chris . neale
format your data for 2D-WHAM with 1D being the distance and the 2nd-D  
being your other coordinate of interest. Specify a value of zero for  
the force constants for your 2nd-D. Run 2D-WHAM. Boltzmann project the  
2D PMF onto your 2nd-D.


I think you can also do essentially the same thing by re-weighting  
using the F-values from 1D-WHAM, but I find the above method to be the  
simplest. It also provides you with a 2D free energy profile, which  
can be informative both biologically and to indicate on sampling  
problems.


Note that you're very likely going to run into convergence problems  
since your 2nd-D will rely on brute-force to converge, and worse: the  
umbrellas in 1D can force the sampling in the 2nd-D to surmount energy  
barriers that might be circumvented in unrestrained sampling.

Hi,

I used umbrella sampling method to restrain the distance of two
molecules at several distances. Then I can use g_wham to get the free
energy as a function of the distance. Is there any way that I can get
the free energy as a function of another parameter? Thanks a lot.

[gmx-users] OPLSAA parameters

2011-07-29 Thread Elisabeth
Hello to all,

I am looking for bonded and nonbonded parameters for C H atoms in saturated
hydrocarbons.

atom types are:
Carbon atoms opls_135  opls_136
H  opls_140

 opls_135   12.01100  ; alkane CH3
 opls_136   12.01100  ; alkane CH2
 opls_1401.00800  ; alkane H.

Please help me out with the following:

- I am wondering if I am selecting the correct values, for C-C and C-H bonds
from ffoplsaabon.itp.

C C   10.15100   292880.0   ; wlj oxalic acid, etc.
HCC   10.10900   284512.0   ; wlj 7/96

- what does wlj mean?

- what are the units?


Angle

 CA CA CZ  1   120.000585.760   ; wlj
  CA CA CR  1   120.000527.184   ;
  CA CA CX  1   120.000711.280   ;
 C  CT Cl  1   109.800577.392   ; wlj

- I can not distinguish CA CZ  What are they referring to?

[ dihedraltypes ]

 C  C  CT HC  3  0.17782   0.53346   0.0  -0.71128
0.0   0.0 ; dicarbonyls BMC 8,1881(2000)

- Is this what I need for oplsaa 135 136 140?

ffoplsaanb.itp.

 opls_135   CT6 12.01100-0.180   A3.5e-01
2.76144e-01
 opls_136   CT6 12.01100-0.120   A3.5e-01
2.76144e-01

 opls_140   HC1  1.00800 0.060   A2.5e-01
1.25520e-01

- are these parameters for

 opls_135   12.01100  ; alkane CH3
 opls_136   12.01100  ; alkane CH2
 opls_1401.00800  ; alkane H.

?

Also in usr/local/gromacs/share/gromacs/top/ directory  I can not find
ffoplsaanb,itp and ffoplsaabon.itp for 4.5.4 whereas in previous versions
these files were accessible. I am using itp files from version 4.0.7 and
wanted to make sure the above parameters for oplsa_135 oplsa_136 and
oplsa_140 have been remained unchanged in 4.5.4. Where can I find these
files?

Thanks,
Regards,
