Dear users,

I had posted this question earlier too but did not get any response. I am re-posting it hoping someone can clarify this for me.

I performed NPT simulations of few different systems using both gromacs v3.2.1 and v3.3.1. I use exactly the same parameters, starting files, topology files etc for both the versions. The systems are pure water system (spc/e 10684 water molecules) and a protein-water system. However, the average volume of the system that I get is from the simulations is different for the two versions. In case of pure water, gromacs v3.2.1 gives me a lower volume (~311.497 nm^3) than v3.3.1 (~324.604 nm^3) and the difference is significantly higher than the fluctuations in the volume. The pressure is maintained at 1 bar and the temperature is maintained at 300 K using Berendsen barostat and thermostat respectively. I used SETTLE to maintain water geometry. I was wondering if someone could tell me why this happens? Has there been a modification in the pressure virial calculation or something related to the same that leads to these differences?

Have you checked the energy differences?

Have you compared tpr files?

Is the dispersion correction on and are you using some kind of shift/switch? (This has changed between 3.2 and 3.3).

If you can not find the reason for this and it is reproducible then please submit a bugzilla with a 3.2.1 tpr file that reproduces the problem.
Thank you


Regards
Sapna
