Hi Hazizian,

I have done md simulation of a 2-domain protein in water,
in 50 K but every time I did it these domains are separated from each other, and dont correct when I do trjconv -pbc nojump,

This also happened to me once, since it can be impossible to correct the 
trajectory with nojump once the protein goes through the periodic boundaries.

If I recall right, the solution was to use 'comm_mode' and 'comm_grps' in the 
*.mdp file to ensure that the protein stays in the middle of the cell and does 
not cross a boundary.


Using comm_grps other than "System" for a protein in water can lead to spurious collisions and is not appropriate. Using trjconv is the proper way to fix this issue. If -pbc nojump does not work, another option likely will. For me -pbc mol -ur compact (and/or -center on the protein) works every time.

Hope that helped,
Vaclav

Hi
I have done md simulation of a 2-domain protein in water,
in 50 K but every time I did it these domains are separated from each other, and dont correct when I do trjconv -pbc nojump, previous time when I did em or pr by doing trjconv -pbc nojump, it corrected.

The 50.mdp file is:
title = n.pdb cpp = /lib/cpp constraints = none integrator = md dt = 0.001 nsteps = 100000
constraint_algorithm  = shake
shake_tol           =
0.0001
nstcomm = 1 comm_mode = Angular nstxout = 250 nstvout = 1000 nstfout = 0 nstlog = 10 nstenergy = 10 nstlist = 10 ns_type = grid rlist = 1.2 coulombtype = PME rcoulomb = 1.2 rvdw = 1.4
fourierspacing      =  0.12
fourier_nx          =  0
fourier_ny          =  0
fourier_nz          =  0
pme_order = 4
ewald_rtol          =  1e-5
optimize_fft        =  yes

; Berendsen temperature coupling is on in three groups
Tcoupl = berendsen tau_t = 0.4 0.4 tc-grps = protein non-protein ref_t = 50 50 ; Pressure coupling is on Pcoupl = berendsen tau_p = 2
compressibility     =  4.5e-5
ref_p = 1.0
; Generate velocites is on at 50 K.
gen_vel = yes gen_temp = 50.0 gen_seed = 173529
are they realy separated or I should do a command to
correct it, I search in mailing list and could not find the result, please guide me, thank you in advance. --
