Hi ALL,
I am simulating a GPCR protein in a POPC bilayer.
I have followed Justins' tutorial to set up the system, but have used POPC
instead of DPPC. I have used the same parameters given in that tutorial. Till
equilibration everything went well. But after releasing the protein in the
production MD, the lipids are forming usual cross bonds (seen in the form of
long straight lines). How can I avoid this? Any suggestion is welcome.
Parameters used for MD:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
title = GPCR in POPC Production MD
; Run parameters
integrator = md ; leap-frog integrator
nsteps = 500000 ; 2 * 500000 = 1000 ps (1 ns)
dt = 0.002 ; 2 fs
; Output control
nstxout = 1000 ; save coordinates every 2 ps
nstvout = 1000 ; save velocities every 2 ps
nstxtcout = 1000 ; xtc compressed trajectory output every 2 ps
nstenergy = 1000 ; save energies every 2 ps
nstlog = 1000 ; update log file every 2 ps
; Bond parameters
continuation = yes ; Restarting after NPT
constraint_algorithm = lincs ; holonomic constraints
constraints = all-bonds ; all bonds (even heavy atom-H bonds) constrained
lincs_iter = 1 ; accuracy of LINCS
lincs_order = 4 ; also related to accuracy
; Neighborsearching
ns_type = grid ; search neighboring grid cels
nstlist = 5 ; 10 fs
rlist = 1.2 ; short-range neighborlist cutoff (in nm)
rcoulomb = 1.2 ; short-range electrostatic cutoff (in nm)
rvdw = 1.2 ; short-range van der Waals cutoff (in nm)
; Electrostatics
coulombtype = PME ; Particle Mesh Ewald for long-range electrostatics
pme_order = 4 ; cubic interpolation
fourierspacing = 0.16 ; grid spacing for FFT
; Temperature coupling is on
tcoupl = Nose-Hoover ; More accurate thermostat
tc-grps = Protein POPC SOL_CL- ; three coupling groups - more
accurate
tau_t = 0.1 0.1 0.1 ; time constant, in ps
ref_t = 323 323 323 ; reference temperature, one for each
group, in K
; Pressure coupling is on
pcoupl = Parrinello-Rahman ; Pressure coupling on in NPT
pcoupltype = semiisotropic ; uniform scaling of x-y box vectors,
independent z
tau_p = 2.0 ; time constant, in ps
ref_p = 1.0 1.0 ; reference pressure, x-y, z (in bar)
compressibility = 4.5e-5 4.5e-5 ; isothermal compressibility, bar^-1
; Periodic boundary conditions
pbc = xyz ; 3-D PBC
; Dispersion correction
DispCorr = EnerPres ; account for cut-off vdW scheme
; Velocity generation
gen_vel = no ; Velocity generation is off
