 Dear users:
 
 I am writing my methods section for a simulation in which I used -vsites

As the tutorial suggest you can restrain the heavy atoms, but I usually
restrain the entire protein during the InflateGro steps (EMs) and let the
lipids minimize around it.

Re: [gmx-users] Calculation of the components of (ionic) current using g_current

Hi,

it is the ionic current, given by a sum over the center of mass

 Hi,
 
 g_current calculates the (ionic) current in the output file specified by the
 -o switch (by default, current.xvg).  Specifically, each component (x, y,
 and z) of the current is computed and printed.
 
 My question is, is the current that is computed the current of atoms (which
 each have partial charges), or is it the current of molecules (ionic
 molecules have non-zero charge, whereas neutral molecules have zero charge)?
 I am guessing that it is the former -- the current of atoms.  However, I am
 not certain, because when I run g_current, part of the output says, for
 example:
 
 Split group of 6144 atoms into 512 molecules
 
 which seems to imply that the code uses the topology (I provide the code
 with a .tpr file) to determine the connectivity of atoms.
 
 Thanks so much!

It will affect all carbon atoms.  If you need to do something more specialized, 
you'll probably have to use a different approach.  The above suggestion is to 
eliminate water from being placed within the lipid membrane.



  2. What is the meaning of continue to adjust the van der waals radius of
carbon ???
  Please comment in detail...



Continue to adjust = change the value until you get satisfactory results.  The 
value of 0.375 generally works well for me, but some lipids pack differently and 
thus you may need to use a different value.  For the tutorial, which uses DPPC, 
0.375 should work fine.



  3. After solvation I given the following command to ion addition

RE: [gmx-users] Umbrella sampling PMF, drug and membrane with pull_geometry=cylinder

2012-05-08 Thread J B

Hello,
I assume that you mean pull_pbcatom0...
Nothing changes when I set this to an atom index I am afraid.
I saw that you had use pull_geometry=cylinder in your recent JACS paper.
Would it be too much to ask to see those pull settings?
I simply cannot get the molecule to stay at the desired z-position...
Thanks!


 Hi,
 
 we had similar trouble some time ago, and we could solve it by using a 
 good PBC atom. Make sure that your pbc_atom is in the very center of 
 your membrane.
 
 Btw, using distance to compare with cylinder is a bad test, since it 
 does something very different (the distance is the same at z=com-1 and 
 z=com+1. I would use direction or position for your test. You can 
 also use position/direction for the umbrella simulations, you'll 
 probably get similar results to the geometry cylinder, but you'll also 
 have to make sure your pbc_atom is fine.
 
 Cheers,
 Jochen

The solution to the problem depends on what you need to do.  Your use of the 
term formyl group seems to imply that it is an adduct to some existing 
molecule, i.e. C(=O)H.  If this is correct, then you need to do one of two things:


1. Add the formyl group as an entry in the relevant .rtp file (using the 
parameters contained in the .itp file) so it can be used as a building block on 
its own.


2. Incorporate the parameters into an existing residue that it is modifying, 
though if this is the case you should be parameterizing a new residue rather 
than a formyl moiety.


If the formyl group is actually a standalone molecule, i.e. formaldehyde or 
formate, then the solution is certainly as simple as adding an #include 
statement to the .top file.  The source of the .top also depends on what you're 
doing.  It can be generated by pdb2gmx in the case of a macromolecule or it can 
be written by hand in a text editor in simple cases.


In any event, if you need further help, you need to post considerably more 
information about what you're trying to achieve.  I can probably guess a few 
more potential scenarios, but I'd rather not waste a lot of time ;)

More often than not, a segmentation fault indicates the system is unstable and 
will likely crash again.  The log file will not indicate any errors, but 
information printed to stderr/stdout will.

If I am interpreting your situation correctly (and please do answer the question 
posed above), then the second case (which leads to an unreliable error estimate) 
incorporates 100 ns of time in which no micelle exists, so you're measuring 
something that you shouldn't, as it includes a substantial amount of time in 
which diffuse molecules will artificially increase the value of Rg if they are 
spread throughout the solvent.  If after 100 ns, a micelle exists, then the 
first command is appropriate to measure its radius of gyration.

[gmx-users] Wild-card atomt types - regd

2012-05-08 Thread ramesh cheerla
Dear Gromacs users,

I am planing to use wildcard atomtypes in [
dihedrals ] directive of the ffbonded.itp file, As my system contain  O-C
dihedral, all the O-C dihedrals are  same, so instead of  mentioning each
dihedral explicitly i have tried  wildcard atom types  by specifing
X-O-C-X  but couldn't succeed,It  is giving the error:   No default
Proper Dih. types.
Is there any specific method to use wildcard atom types in Gromacs for
dihedrals or do I have to define the wildcard atomtypes, if so in which
file do i have to define it.

Any help will be highly appreciated.


Thank you in advance.

Wildcard entries are not specified in [dihedrals] directives, which are part of 
the .top; instead they are used in defining the parameters in the 
[dihedraltypes] directive of the ffbonded.itp file.  That way, the dihedrals 
used in the .top are read from ffbonded.itp.

[gmx-users] Slow-growth method question

2012-05-08 Thread Fabian Casteblanco
Hello community,

I recently ran several simulations using the g_bar method on several
molecule decouplings and I even applied it to some functional group
mutations and it seems to work out quite well so far.  The only thing
is that it requires several simulations to run.  I'm attempting to
replicate this group mutation using the original slow-growth method
that others have done in the past just to see how well it compares to
the g_bar method.  I can't seem to find any sort of instructions on
running this method on Gromacs.I have the parameters from g_bar
below but I'm trying to figure out how to alternate them below for the
slow growth method.  Is it simply the delta_lambda parameter that
needs to be changed?  Would I have to divide the timesteps by
delta_lambda to make sure it goes up to Lambda=1?  How do you
calculate the end result?Thank you.

; Free energy control stuff
free_energy = yes   
;*** - Indicates we are doing a free energy calculation, and that
interpolation between the A and B states of the chosen molecule
(defined below) will occur.

init_lambda = 0.0   
;*** - Value of λ

delta_lambda= 0 
;*** - The value of λ can be incremented by some amount per timestep
(i.e., δλ/δt) in a technique called slow growth. This method can
have significant errors associated with it, and thus we will make no
time-dependent changes to our λ values.

foreign_lambda  = 0.05  
;*** - Additional values of λ for which ΔH will be written to dhdl.xvg
(with frequency nstdhdl). The configurations generated in the
trajectory at λ = init_lambda will have ΔH calculated for these same
configurations at all values of λ = foreign_lambda.

sc-alpha= 0.5   
;*** - the soft-core parameter, a value of 0 results in linear
interpolation of the LJ and Coulomb interactions

sc-power= 1.0   
;*** - the power for lambda in the soft-core function, only the values
1 and 2 are supported

sc-sigma= 0.3   
;*** - the soft-core sigma for particles which have a C6 or C12
parameter equal to zero or a sigma smaller than sc_sigma

;couple-moltype  = SIM  
;*** - name of moleculetype to decouple

;couple-lambda0  = vdw  
;*** - all interactions are on at lambda=0
;couple-lambda1  = none 
;*** - only vdw interactions are on at lambda=1
couple-intramol = no
;*** - Do not decouple intramolecular interactions. That is, the λ
factor is applied to only solute-solvent nonbonded interactions and
not solute-solute nonbonded interactions.

nstdhdl = 10
;*** - The frequency with which ∂H/∂λ and ΔH are written to dhdl.xvg.
A value of 100 would probably suffice, since the resulting values will
be highly correlated and the files will get very large. You may wish
to increase this value to 100 for your own work.

For the algorithmic specifics of how the error estimate is calculated, refer to 
Berk's paper.


The error estimate is smaller in the case of starting after 100 ns because in 
the case where you consider all the data, you are calculating Rg of diffuse 
molecules and a micelle.  You're considering two different states and thus your 
data are poorly converged with respect to that measurement.

The value of Rg is calculated from the (x,y,z) components of the molecule's 
size, which, since the molecule is tumbling through solution, vary quite a bit. 
 Diffusion in three dimensions doesn't necessarily impact the size of the 
molecule directly and hence the value of Rg is not affected as strongly.


For a more exact description of how things are calculated, you'd have to go 
through the code for a real mathematical proof.

Re: [gmx-users] system cooling down when runing NVE

2012-05-08 Thread Peter C. Lai
you have position restraints on, which I expect would damp collisions between 
solvent and solute. temp drops towards some sort of equilibrium, which doesn't 
necessarily match your starting temp even though energy of the system is 
conserved ..sounds like expected behavior to me?

Dear Gromacs experts,
 I'm just a newbaby in Gromacs, and hence I have a lot of problem 
 when running this program. I try to run NVE simulation of a

 NVE. In NPT and NVT, T remains as constant, however, in NVE 
 simulation, the temperature drops gradually instead of maintain 
 approximately constant. Could you give me any advice to solve this 
 problem?
 Thank you very much.

 Dear Justin,
 
 Thank you very much from your help, but may I ask you to say me why the error
 estimate of Rg is very smaller than Rgx, Rgy, Rgz, Please? I didn't understand
 any thing from paper about this problem!
 

The value of Rg is calculated from the (x,y,z) components of the molecule's 
size, which, since the molecule is tumbling through solution, vary quite a 
bit.  Diffusion in three dimensions doesn't necessarily impact the size of the 
molecule directly and hence the value of Rg is not affected as strongly.

For a more exact description of how things are calculated, you'd have to go 
through the code for a real mathematical proof.

What do you mean? Am I supposed to use CGenFF to derive parameters?

Where does swissparam get its parameters for charmm? and does it use custom 
atomtypes for generic molecules? I have been using CGenFF-derived parameters 
for molecules that aren't in base c36 and I think it's working well for me...

Anybody can suggest me how I can use .itp file and solve my problem?

[gmx-users] Re: Fwd: HEME-cysteine gromacs simulation

2012-05-08 Thread J Peterson
Zhang Bing,

I guess it is problem in your visualizers. Try to label the atom using VMD
which goes well with most of the file types derived in GROMACS. I hope
you'll see the atom as FE not just F.

Thanks
Peterson
