Re: [gmx-users] How to obtain a approperiate PDB file of DNA?

2009-04-10 Thread Gerrit Groenhof




Check the program Biomer. I allows you to create any type of DNA  
molecule: http://casegroup.rutgers.edu/Biomer/index.html


You will also need the amber forcefield for DNA.

Hi, Mark:

I want to check the chain length of DNA on the translocation time  
through a

nanopore. So the DNA chains with different polymerization but the same
monomer structure is necessary. How can I solve this problem?

Does anybody has a optimized DNA pdb file for GMX simulation?

Thanks a lot!!

Perhaps you should start by searching for some tutorial material with
emphasis on these types of simulation.

Furthermore, if I want to get several DNA pdb files with increasing  
degree
of polymerization (such as 10, 20, 50 etc.). How can I achieve  
this goal?




This may or may not be easy to achieve, but you should start by  
describing
it more fully. What are you wanting to polymerize, and what do you  
mean by

that word?

So can anyone tell me what the problem is?


Maybe, if they were confident of your nomenclature.

[gmx-users] questions regarding Replica Exchange

2009-04-10 Thread sarbani chattopadhyay
  Hi,
I have few queries regarding Replica Exchange MD.

1) I have 17 replicas , and the files are named as 
md_0.trr,..,.md_16.trr.Replica exchange 
is attempted every 100ps.
Thus starting from 0, upto 100ps, the coordinates, velocities etc. that are 
written in 
md_0.trr files corresspond to the simulation at the lowest temperature say 
313K. At 100ps, 
if there is a successful exchange between replica 0 and 1, then the coordinates 
and boxes 
are exchanged and the coordinates,etc. of replica 1 at 100 ps are written in 
md_0.trr files.
 Have I understood the process correctly ?

2) Once the simulation is over I have to use demux.pl to get the 
replica_index.xvg and replica_temp.xvg file.
The replica_temp.xvg file has 18 columns, the first one being the time and 17 
columns. 
Thus the 2nd column gives me the record regarding which replica occupies the 
lowest temp. ie. 313 K every 100ps.
Is this correct?
3) Using replica_index. xvg , I will have to use trjcat to make the 
trajectories continous.
when I give the command-  trjcat -f md_*.trr -demux replica_index.xvg ,it 
attempts to 
write just one file trajout.xtc and gives a bus error.
But i give the command 
 trjcat -f md_*.trr -demux replica_index.xvg -o new_md_0.trr 
new_md_1.trr ..new_md_16.trr
,the command runs fine.  What coordinates are written in the new_md_0.trr( ie. 
the new continous trajectory file) ? Does this continous file contain the 
information about the replica 0 over the time?

It will be of great help if I get any suggestions regarding my queries.
Thanking You,
Sarbani

Re: [gmx-users] LINCS warnings generated in NPT ensemble and not in NVT

2009-04-10 Thread Lee Soin
The difference between restraints and constraints is indeed something
I'm aware of :-)
Even though distance restraint between COM of two domains worked just OK for
me, I would prefer to use distance constraint since that will introduce
fewer artifacts and can fix the distance between two domains exactly at the
desired distance. So now everything I'm going to ask is under the assumption
that I'm using distance constraint in COM pulling. The protein I'm using
consists of two domains, and the problem is as follows:

After energy minimization and a 100-ps equilibration in NPT, I applied a
distance constraint between COM of two domains and performed COM pulling in
the NPT ensemble. But after the first few steps I received such warnings:

Step 7  Warning: pressure scaling more than 1%, mu: 1.03819 1.03819 1.03819

So far, commercial users can use the R.E.D.-III.2 tools which are

Dear All,

I am pleased to announce the release of R.E.D. Server available @
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/REDS/.

R.E.D. Server provides the software and hardware (i. e. a cluster of
computers) required for the derivation of highly effective and reproducible
RESP and ESP atomic charge values embedded in force field libraries suitable
for molecular dynamics simulations. R.E.D. Server interfaces the last stable
version of the RESP ESP charge Derive program (R.E.D. IV April 2009 so far)
developed by the q4md force field tools team, and provides the binaries for
the last versions of the Gaussian, GAMESS-US, or the PC-GAMESS/Firefly
program, and for the RESP program. More generally, the last developments in
term of RESP and ESP charge derivation carried out by the q4md force field
tools team will be provided through R.E.D. Server. The release of these new
developments will be carried out from time to time, and the description of
those last features released in R.E.D. Server is available at the R.E.D.
Server news web page.

By involving multiple molecules, multiple conformations and multiple
orientations in charge derivation and by handling specific charge
constraints during the fitting step, R.E.D. IV allows building complex force
field topology database or FFTopDB corresponding to the simultaneous
generation of numerous molecular fragments (N-terminal, C-terminal and
central amino acid fragments, 5'- or Y'-terminal, 3'- or X'-terminal and
central nucleotide fragments as well as monosaccharide and metal complex
fragments) in a single execution. The all atom or united-carbon force field
library model can be in-differentially generated. A procedure to study the
impact of the various charge constraints required during the fitting step of
a molecular fragment has been implemented allowing users to compare charge
values, and thus to validate or reject charge sets.

The use of R.E.D. Server and R.E.D. IV is described in Frequently Asked
Questions http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/REDS/faq.php as well as in a
specific tutorial http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/Tutorial/Tutorial-3.php.

Academic users involved in non-profit research are authorized to use R.E.D.
Server. The use of R.E.D. Server is provided at no cost after signing a
license agreement. The PI (principal investigator or Director of a
laboratory) and the PU (R.E.D. Server principal user) have to register and
sign a license agreement to be authorized to use R.E.D. Server.

A general public help is provided with the q4md-forcefieldtools mailing
list. Any researcher can participate in this mailing list by answering
and/or sending queries at q4md-...@q4md-forcefieldtools.org after
registration at sy...@q4md-forcefieldtools.org. Archives of the q4md-fft
mailing list are public. A private assistance is also available for
registered users from the Assistance Service available at the R.E.D.
Server Home page. We are registered in the AMBER and CCL mailing lists, and
we will answer to the queries about the q4md force field tools in these
mailing lists as well.

The R.E.D. III.2 tools distributed in a standalone version at
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/RED/, the RESP ESP charge DDataBase (or
R.E.DD.B. http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/REDDB/) which allows freely
storing and distributing RESP and ESP charges embedded in force field

RMSD or RMSF?  RMSD should not be broken down by atom, I think.  In any case, 
atom 12 in the analysis should be whatever atom 12 is in the topology/structure.


If you can provide a copy-paste example of where you think the problem is 
occurring, that may help; I am still not entirely clear what the problem is.

 This case is for solute in benzene. The peak in lambda=0 is around 3.
 For sc-power=1 I got a peak much higher than for sc-power=2, and therefore
 the integration in this case (sc-power=1) could lead me to a much greater
 error. In both cases (ethanol and benzene) the curves coincide for values of

        Hello Justin, I am facing a very similar problem to that you

        I throw this question in the GMX forum and Berk has kindly
        helped me. But reading the forum I realized that you already
        could be solved the problem so that maybe I could help more
        directly.


    Please keep Gromacs-related discussions on the list.  If you had
    followed the rest of the thread you reference, you will find that my
    calculations were falling victim to a bug in Gromacs-3.3.1.  If you
    are using a newer version, then my situation is not applicable,
    since the problem has been fixed (IIRC) as of Gromacs-3.3.3.

    If you are using version 3.3.1, re-run your simulations with a newer
    version.


        I have tried to calculate the free energy of transfer from
        benzene to ethanol
        for a polyhydroxylated (24 OH's). This system has 24 hydroxyl
        groups, and in ethanol, there should be more than 20
        solute-solvent hydrogen bonds being erased simultaneously (not
        to mention the possible intramolecular HB's).

        The Dg/dlambda plot, for both, benzene and ethanol shows a very
        high and narrow peak near lambda=0. In the case of ethanol is
        worse due to the solute-solvent hydrogen bonds.
        I performed two sets of simulations, one for sc-power=1 and
        another for sc-power=2, using the following protocol:

        1) I made disappear the electrostatic interactions turning off
        the charges (by 200ps), 2) At the sequence I made disappear the
        LJ interactions (for more 200ps) 3) Finally I performed a run of
        0.5ns.
        Correct me i this procedure is inappropriate.

        To start, Berk said me that the use of sc-power=2 never is
        recommended. Ok!
        Secondly, then he gave me a good tip that I was not taking into
        account:
        Disappear the electrostatic interactions using hard-core instead
        soft-core.
        I did this and actually work (only in part).

        When I used softcore to desappear the electrostatic interations,
        the value of dg/dlambda for lambda = 0 was ~16. Following
        the tip of Berk, wiht hardcore I got ~2000!


    Right, you should only need soft-core for the LJ component.


        However when I needed to use softcore again, now to remove the
        LJ interactions, the value returned back to ~16.`


    I don't understand what you mean.  Is the total area under the curve
    16? That is ridiculously high.

    I don't know that I have the expertise to help you much more.  I am
    not entirely familiar with your methodology.  What I have done in my
    own work is run 21 independent simulations at lambda points between
    0 and 1 (5 ns each after equilibration), and integrated the
    resulting curve.  None of my dV/dl points ever approached that
    magnitude, but I can't comment on your specific case, because I
    don't know what you're doing.

        Could you gimme some insigths to solve this problem?

[gmx-users] Pressure Coupling Problem

Alright, sorry that I wasn't able to help. I'm confused by some  
apparent contradictions in your posts and I'm not sure that I'm going  
to be useful to you here.


Quoting  
http://www.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-users/2009-April/041173.html: No  
matter how much minimization I do the volume of the box expands when  
run it using berendsen pressure coupling with a tau_p -f .1.

Good luck.

Nope not an A/nm problem.
As a simple test I take spc.gro from share/top.
I reconfigure the box (i.e. editconf -f spc.gro -d 1.0 -c -bt cubic -o
water_center.

I then solvate with genbox, minimize and run using the mdp file I provided
earlier.

No matter how much minimization I do the volume of the box expands when run
it using berendsen pressure coupling with a tau_p -f .1.

a bad starting structure -- and by the sound of it is really is very bad.
Are you sure that you don't have an angstrom / nm problem here?

[gmx-users] Query

2009-04-10 Thread amit upadhyay
Hi,
i am running MD on a system where a protien and a small peptide chain are 
placed closely. After running the simulation when i was analyzing the system, i 
got a rmsd plot with numerous bumps. For creating the xtc file i tried 
different options like -pbc nojump/whole etc and also -center tric, still i am 
getting the rmsd plot with those bumps. Further i analysed the rmsd for the 
protein and peptides seperatley which come up well.
  I request all the members to please provide me guidanceor possible pathway to 
solve this issue. Your help will be highly appreciated.

Amit

RE: [gmx-users] What's the max number of pull groups?

2009-04-10 Thread LuLanyuan

Thanks so much, Berk. I have another question regarding the pull code. Can I 
define a pull group that contains more than one molecules? I tried to define 
some lipid molecules as a single pull group and pull them out of a bilayer. But 
I couldn't see the lipids out. If I try one lipid as a pull group, I got what I 
expected.
