Hi Igor,
Thanks for the reply but I think you slightly missed the point I was
trying to make. I followed the approach you mention for the double bond
and (with the two force fields I tried) got the values I discussed in my
last email, which when compared to the published values seem to be
incorrect.
Just to confirm, my index file (for the unsaturated calculation)
contains (below is just pasted from make_ndx):
For CHARMM36:
0 C28 : 72 atoms
1 C29 : 72 atoms
2 C210 : 72 atoms
3 C211 : 72 atoms
and for GROMOS53A6L:
0 C1H : 128 atoms
1 C1I : 128 atoms
2 C1J : 128 atoms
3 C1K : 128 atoms
My command for g_order (this is just for CHARMM36 but I use the same
command for GROMOS53A6L on different files) is:
g_order_4.5.4 -s for-md-popc-charmm36.tpr -f md-popc-charmm36.xtc -n
chain2_unsat.ndx -od deut_chain2_unsat.xvg -unsat
If anyone can see what might be going wrong then any help would be
greatly appreciated.
Are your results converged? From the g_order command, you're considering the
whole trajectory. I'd suggest the usual block averaging approach to see if
you're converged.
There's nothing wrong with the way you're calculating the order parameters, so
the only other thing I would suspect (other than lack of convergence) is that
the .mdp settings are somehow giving unexpected results. Membrane properties
can be very sensitive to vdW and electrostatics methods.
