Hi Justin,
Thanks for your complete answer. Actually I have another question here. It is about potential energy after mdrun. From md.log in AVERAGES section I have potential=8.81e+04 !!! and it is 9.3e+04 from em.log the same order. Can I trust these results or I did something wrong? Is it always the same order for different systems? Can you please give me some advice about it?? Many Thanks in Advance/ Jamie


I don't know anything about your system, so it's hard to make a generalization. Positive values of potential indicate repulsive or unsatisfied interactions. If you're running your system in solvent, I would think something is wrong; vacuum might be a different story, but I don't usually do vacuum simulations, so I don't have any real expertise here.

        Hi,
        How can I make sure that position restraint is actually applied
        (after grompp & mdrun)? When I grep "POSRES" or "posres" I can
        not see any information... Many Thanks in Advance/Jamie


    If your topology has the appropriate #ifdef POSRES, and you have
    "define = -DPOSRES" in your .mdp file, then it worked :)  Position
    restraints are applied during mdrun, and show up in the .log file as
    "Position Rest." entries.

               Hi Mark,
               Thanks for the answers. One question still remains for me: in
               the fws
               tutorial for PR step it only uses the pr.mdp (define =
        -DPOSRES)
               and run
               grompp followed by mdrun... Am I missing some thing?
        Because I
               can not see
               it introduces something that to be restrained..?? Would you
               please let me
               know what I am missing here?? Many Thanks in Advance/Jamie


           pdb2gmx automatically produces a posre.itp file, whose position
           restraint contents are #included from the .top file it
        produces, and
           whose function is sensitive to the -DPOSRES option. Search
        the wiki
           for discussion of this machinery.

                       Dear all,
                       I have questions regarding the position restrain
        md. I
                       tried to find the
                       answer of my questions from the mailing list, but
        it is
                       not clear yet.
                       In the fws tutorial when it says (in the pr.mdp)
                       tc_grps=Protein   non-protein
                       (1) Doesn't that mean everything in the system? I
        think
                       for this case we
                       can
                       simply write "system" because system is made by
        protein
                       and non-protein??

                   It includes the whole system, but it is often a good idea
                   not to couple
                   groups of heterogeneous heat capacity to the same
                   thermostat. That said, if
                   the groups are too small, you get other problems. See
        also
                   http://oldwiki.gromacs.org/index.php/temperature_coupling

                   (2) In this case how program recognize which one should
                   restrain and which

                       one not, because it included all??

                   Temperature coupling has no linkage with position
                   restraints. You defined
                   the latter in your .top file.

                   (3) This step is required for every system or only
        proteins??
                   It may or may not be useful in achieving stable
                   equilibration for any
                   system. See
http://oldwiki.gromacs.org/index.php/Steps_to_Perform_a_Simulation

                   (4) If I want to make an index file and I specify a group
                   that need to be

                       constrained, in the generated index file I will get
                       system and all its
                       parts
                       and an extra part for my specific part that need
        to be
                       constrain...Is that
                       ok??

                   "constraints" are different from "restraints" in GROMACS
                   usage. make_ndx
                   does allow you to generate new index groups, but you will
                   need to (re-)read
                   the relevant manual sections to understand that
        neither of
                   these algorithms
                   uses index groups. (Or to prove my memory wrong!)

                   (5) In my case I have a molecule (MOL) and water
        (SOL), for
                   position

                       restrain md should I use "tc_grps=MOL   SOL"
        (according
                       to fws tutorial)
                       or
                       I need only write "tc_grps=MOL"??  Many Thanks in
                       Advance/Jamie

                   The latter won't work, for all atoms must be members of a
                   temperature-coupling group if any are.

                   What you actually need is a clear understanding of your
                   strategic
                   objective. Hopefully some of the links will move you
        towards
                   that.
