Hi,

Continue to the energy minimization problem. I use l-bfgs to run the energy minimization for the structure summarized in the previous message below. The em output topology confout.gro doesn't contain velocity data. Then, I try to convert confout.gro into .pdb format by:

editconf -f confout.gro -o confout.pdb

The editconf command creates an empty confout.pdb file and gives the message:

Opening library file /usr/share/gromacs/top/aminoacids.dat
Opening library file /usr/share/gromacs/top/atommass.dat
Opening library file /usr/share/gromacs/top/vdwradii.dat
Opening library file /usr/share/gromacs/top/dgsolv.dat
#Entries in atommass.dat: 82 vdwradii.dat: 26 dgsolv.dat: 7
Read 12918 atoms
Volume: 727.344 nm^3, corresponds to roughly 327300 electrons
No velocities found

Is the output of l-bfgs does contain velocities? How can I convert it to a .pdb file?

Thanks,

George

Hi Tsjerk,

The system has 1 protein (118 atoms) and 256 DPPC lipids (12800 atoms) without solvent. The box size is 6.125, 12.5, 9.5 nm. The make_ndx output is as follows. I can run l-bfgs on the structure.

Analysing residue names:
Opening library file /usr/local/packages/gromacs/g_3.3.1/share/gromacs/top/aminoacids.dat
There are:   256      OTHER residues
There are:    12    PROTEIN residues
There are:     0        DNA residues

Hi George,

You didn't mention whether this was with or without solvent. This is
probably due to an error in your starting structure, and I advice to
check it carefully. Also, if you're running in solvent, check your
box.

Step= 57, Dmax= 4.3e-03 nm, Epot= -1.79963e+23 Fmax= inf, atom= 2

The only thing I don't really get is this potential energy. Can you
give more details about your system? Type of molecules, size, etc?

Cheers,

Tsjerk
