 Dear all,

 I would like to understand better the way g_rdf performs
 normalization. I have two unexpected results:

 1) In a simple simulation of atomic ions in water in a cubic box, I
 get RDFs that clearly reach a constant value at large enough
 distances, but that value is somewhat lower than one. The simulation
 is NpT, could that be a problem for the normalization?

 g(r) should fluctuate around 1 at large distances, say 9 Angstroms for pure
water.


 2) In a simulation in a dodecahedron, I get an unexpected decrease in
 the RDF at larger distances (for free ions in solution). Is there some
 know problem with normalization in triclinic cells? Is the RDF perhaps
 not truncated soon enough?

Try calculating it for much larger distances, if you have PBC this should
not be a problem even with the current docecahedron.

Removing PBC and placing atoms back into their true location is easy. In

On Thu, Oct 22, 2009 at 05:17, Enemark Soeren ch...@nus.edu.sg wrote:

  Ahh, now I understand - sorry, Omer!

 No problem, glad to help.




 In fact, I have compared all three single hydrogen RDFs and they are
 identical and also relatively smooth. Since, however, with 3 times more data
 points (all three hydrogen atoms taken together) I get a different RDF,
 would that indicate that I do not have enough data after all?

See my previous answers for some checks you can do on the convergence.
You have to look at your data and decide if the differences are acceptable
by you. I could suggest, for example, RMSD between curves, focusing just on
the first peak.



 Are RDFs known to be slow to converge?

A wild answer would be no, but thats basically depends on the size of your
bin. A bin of 0.5 Angstroms would mean in each bin you'll probably have
enough molecules for the data of this bin to converge, but than the curve
itself wouldn't look smooth (even if it is converged). A bin size of 0.1 is
often used.

I have about 1000 water molecules and about 50+ glycine molecules, simulated
 for 10ns with 1ps sampling intervals. That should give me 500,000,000 data
 points for the distribution, right? Can I compare this number with the
 literature in which RDFs for, say, water-water interactions are reported?

With 50 glycines you basically average 50 curves together, but the number of
water molecules does not effect the statistics of the glycine RDF. The
number of waters does mean that you most likely have a large enough system.
As for water-water RDF, I think you should have more then enough data here.
Just make sure when comparing to similar variables with the literature
(potential, temperature, binning...). I would also worry about calculating
my water-water RDF for a water which is close to glycine if I wanted to
compare bulk water.




 One important point, which was not really clear to me before was if,
 provided that I have enough data, the RDFs should be identical no matter
 whether I use 1, 2, or 3 hydrogen atoms for generating the RDF. As far as I
 understood, both yours and Omer’s responses indicate that the RDFs should be
 identical. Did I get that correctly?

From the top of my head I would say yes, you are correct. I recommend you
look at some trajectory snapshots to make sure that indeed all 3 hydrogens
have similar neighboring.

Cheers, Omer.

Re: [gmx-users] g_rdf and number of atoms to include

2009-10-21 Thread Omer Markovitch
On Wed, Oct 21, 2009 at 07:28, Enemark Soeren ch...@nus.edu.sg wrote:

  Dear users,

 I would like to compare interactions between molecules by using RDF. I have
 tried looking at glycine and water, and compare the following two
 interactions:

 1)  between the amine hydrogen atoms in glycine and the oxygen atom in
 water

 2)  between the carboxyl oxygen atoms in glycine and the oxygen atom
 in water

 However, my result in 1) depends on how many of the 3 hydrogen atoms I
 include in the calculations. Why is that?

If you mean that when focusing your RDF calculations on either one of the
three hydrogens results in three different RDFs then it means that each
hydrogen feels water differently. I bet this difference is only for the
first peak of g(r) and the other peaks overlap between the three RDFs. As
for how reasonable this result, its not unlikely because glycine has atleast
2 different types of hydrogens (say, C-H vs. N-H), depending on the
protonation state. You might want to provide more details on the system you
are studying to get better answer.
I am assuming that the RDFs are converged so that including more trajectory
data and/or sampled molecules and/or changing bin size does not result in a
drastic change to the curves.


 Does that mean that I cannot directly compare the strengths (RDF peak
 height) of the two interactions as they are not based on the same number of
 atoms? Does it also mean that I must always calculate RDFs by using 1 atom
 on each of the particles/groups that I am comparing?

I am not sure how good it is to use the first peak of g(r) to analyze
strengths, but you should also consider the width and area under peak. This
peak is an average on all nearest neighbours, bonded or not, so it might not
give you a good estimate of the hydrogen bond, for example.
If you are unsure of your g(r) calc it just for water (that is - only
oxygen-oxygen of water-water). At long distances (~10 Angstroms) it should
fluctuate around 1.

Bests, Omer Markovitch.

Are you sure? have you looked at the last good frame before this message?
GMX treats PBC as it should during MD neighbour search, so maybe this is a
pair that was initially close and interacting, but later moved away from
each other.


 but the shortest distance between the atoms is not being observed. Is this
 the problem? Is this problem resulting in the system exploding? And, how do
 I resolve this problem?

If you are sure that everything else is ok, then extend the table extension.
Two other things to work around this are either reduce timestep or check

[gmx-users] non squares box

2009-06-21 Thread Omer Markovitch
Dear All,
I would like to ask your help on the following - I want my simulation to
include a surface, and have PBC.
The surface I chose is aligned on the XY plane. However, the surface is not
a square.
The surface dimensions are a=b=169.2  c=6.9 Angstroms, the angles are:
bc=ac=90  ab=120 degrees.

I have used editconf -f -box 16.92 16.92 0.69 -angles 90.0 90.0 120.0. To
test this, I have used trjconv -pbc nojump -center yes -boxcenter zero. My
problem is that the trjconv generates a structure where some of the surface
atoms are cut and/or overlapping...

Could you please help me? Wheres the problem?
The input PDB I use is about 2 MB in size, so it can't be attached here.

Re: [gmx-users] initial velocities Langevin dynamics

2009-03-11 Thread Omer Markovitch

 Thus I am a bit confused about it!


 I'm confused about the manual comment about only being meaningful with the
 MD integrator, but we'll have to wait until someone who knows something
 about LD can post!


For LD, the velocities will (should) get rescaled by the random thermal
noise, that is- by the Langivin thermostat.
With MD, the thermostat works like friction (positive or negative friction).
So you see, that for LD, an initial velocity of zero should next be changed
by the thermostat, while for MD the rescaling shouldn't work for zero.

[gmx-users] Barostat Density decreasing to zero

2009-02-11 Thread Omer Markovitch
Dear All,
I have simulated a protein inside a box with water and ions. I began by
minimizing my system (which has a total charge of zero), until the maximum
gradient was small enough and the potential energy become negative.
Then I heated it, slowly, to 300K at constant volume (using berendsen
thermostat and tcoupl = 1 ps).
Then I performed 500 ps NVT simulation to equilibrate the temperature, at
300K.
Then, I tried to equilibrate the pressure and run NPT simulation, using
Berendsen barostat (p=1, pcoupl=10) and Berendsen thermostat (T=300K, tcoupl
= 0.1).

My problem is, that with the barostat  thermostat both active in the same
MD run, my density drops to a very low value (at the first MD steps, the
density is 1000, dropping later to 100 kg/m^3). That is- my box dimensions
increase significantly (from around 6x6x6 to 12x12x12 nm^3. If I change the
pressure coupling constant, the speed of the expansion changes but all
simulation converged to a small density between 50-100 kg/m3.

Your help is appreciated; Probably, I am not controlling the simulation like
I should. I will appreciate any advice.

You can take your 20 ns simulation, and divide it into 2-4 parts, each 10
(or 5) ns long.
Then, calculate the property you are interested in for each part seperately.
If 20 ns is more then enought, then the difference between the parts should
be minimal.
Another option is to calculate the variance of the propery you are
calculating, vs. time.

You should analyze each individual part on its own, and output the raw data
of the result, then average the parts together.

For example - say you are interested in coordination number of molecule X:
For each part, output both the total number of X's found, plus the total
number of X neighbors found. The coordination number is then the sum of
neig. divided by the sum of X's, from ALL parts.
It might be an issue if each part has different time length, then averaging
the coordination number of each part might give more statistical weigh to
short parts then they should have.

In other words, you should first collect the data of each part together, and
only then avg..

[gmx-users] small protein big frozen group - exploding

2008-11-12 Thread Omer Markovitch
Dear,
I am simulating a small protein (less then 50 amino acids) at room
temperature, with no additional atoms and/or molecules and/or ions. The
simulations seems to proceed ok (in terms of avg. kinetic energy and other
energy terms).
Then, I take the same protein, and introduce a surface to the system.
My surface is just a set of identical hard sphere atoms, here is how a
surface atom is defined inside my .TOP file:
 [ atomtypes ]
  ;name  mass charge   ptype c6   c12
 X 1.0000.000 X0.000  0.600E-09
And there are 10 times more surface atoms then protein atoms.

In my .MDP file, there are two energy groups: protein  non-protein. The
surface is frozen in all xyz directions.
Now, the problem is that with the surface, my protein quickly explodes, and
I have no idea why. The surface and protein each coupled to its own
thermostat.

Your help and ideas/comments are appreciated. Omer.

 Deal all,
 Is there any practical approach to choose the right temperature coupling
 strength for a simulation? For example, if a system behaves differently with
 weak coupling and strong coupling, which result I should trust?

In general, the coupling lifetime should not interfere with any fast degrees
of motion you might have.
For example, for pure water (where hydrogen bond lifetime is in the ps
region, and OH vibration is in the fs lifetime), the thermostat coupling
might be ~0.5 ps, but for a protein, perhaps a value in the area of 1 ps and
above might be more suites.
Plotting the temperature devations and/or averages might direct you to the
better value.



 Also, I thought giving a very weak nose-hoover thermostat coupling would be
 similar to the NVE simulation. However, when I run the simulation, the
 system behaves very weirdly by constantly accelerating and slowing down.
 will there be any explanation on this behavior?

I agree. But did you start applying the weak coupling before or after the
system was already equilibrated?

[gmx-users] stochastic dynamics , langevin

2008-10-23 Thread Omer Markovitch
Dear All,
I am trying to perform Langevin dynamics of large peptides / proteins.
After reading the manual  going over some old mails in this list, I have
two points I hope you could clear for me:
[Gromacs version 3.3.3]

1) I am a bit confused with Brownian vs. Langevin dynamics. Is this the
proper keywords I should use for Langevin dynamics:
integrator = sd ;
bd-fric= 0 ;
tau_t  = 10 ;
ref_t  = 300 ;
With bd-fric=0, the friction is taken as the inverse tau_t.

2) From your experience, what are good values of tau_t (or 1/tau_t) for
simulating a protein? In 2006 list, David has commented that choosing tau_t
is very important (
http://www.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-users/2006-July/023089.html ).

Re: [gmx-users] Simulation of a protein confined in a box

2008-10-11 Thread Omer Markovitch
Oh, I didn't read carefully.
My suggestion would be, perhaps, to physically put atoms on the sides of the
box (possibly, fill each side completely), and to place on them very high
repulsion.
You might want to freeze them up, and exclude their self interactions from
the energy calculation.

Good guess Suman. Omer.

Re: [gmx-users] Simulation of a protein confined in a box

2008-10-10 Thread Omer Markovitch
Boundary should not precisely be around the protein, otherwise some parts
of the protein would feel other parts via the boundary.
In general, if you apply periodic boundary conditions (PBC), take the
dimensions as such so the protein would NOT feel the PBC.

Say you have an unfolded protein (or a MD during which a protein unfolds)
whose length is about 20 Angstroms, and you use no explicit solvent. You
might not want to take the dimension of the box to be smaller they, say, 40
Angstroms.
Its just an example.

[gmx-users] trjconv - converting trajectory into a pdb

2008-10-07 Thread Omer Markovitch
Hello,
I have ran some MD with GROMACS v3.3.3, and used the command trjconv -f
traj.xtc -o traj.pdb -s file.gro to generate a pdb movie.
My simulation includes charged atoms in some residues, but the output pdb
does not seem to include the formal charge data.
My question is, is this a known issue (that GROMACS does not print the
charge info. in the pdb), or, perhaps, it is a symptom of something I did
wrongly?
(its not a big deal, but still - it would be nice to have this data directly
in the movie)
Thank you for the help, Omer.

Re: [gmx-users] HB lifetime

2008-10-02 Thread Omer Markovitch
Please see my comments below.


 Hi,

 The HB definitions and associated lifetimes are a bit arbitrary, so there'
 s always going to be some ambiguity here.  That being said, the reason the
 integral of the HB correlation function C(t) isn't an ideal definition is
 that C(t) is only roughly exponential.  Same argument goes for getting the
 lifetime from a fit to C(t), or looking for the time where C(t)=1/e, or
 similar simple approximations.


I disagree. HB lifetime is only slightly dependent on the exact values of
the geometric parameters, around the usual values of R(O...O)= 3.5 Angstrom
 angle(O...O-H)= 30 degrees, please see JCP 129, 84505 (a link to the
abstract is given below).
C(t) of a HB obeys the analytical solution of the reversible geminate
recombination (see a short review in JCP 129), and so its tail follows a
power law: C(t) ~ Keq*(D*t)^-3/2, which is indicative of a 3 dimensions
diffusion.


 What Luzar recommends is to think about an equilibrium between bound and
 unbound molecules, so that they interact with a forward and a backward rate
 constant k and k'.  k gives the forward rate, ie. the HB breaking rate, and
 k' gives the HB reformation rate... they are not equal due to the diffusion
 of unbound molecules away from the solvation shell.  There are a few
 advantages of going this route, not the least of which is that you tend to
 get similar lifetimes regardless of small changes in the HB definition, and
 whether you use geometric or energetic criteria, etc.


The reversible geminate recombination deals with the A+B --- C, here
A=B=H2O  C=(H2O)2, the bound water dimer.
From a single fit to C(t) one receives the bimolecular forward  backward
rate constants, which are well defined.
k' you suggest is an apparent unimolecular rate constant, which appears to
be more suited for short times.



 Extracting these rate constants is a bit tricky (I usually do it by hand),
 but I guess gromacs has a scheme to do it... I haven't actually looked at it
 (though I really should!).  I'd recommend some caution though, a scheme that
 works well for HB's between water molecules in bulk may need to be adjusted
 to properly model HB's between water and polar atoms.


I have to disagree again. The A+B=C problem has an analytical solution.
Technically, ones only need to know how to calculate an error-function and
to solve a cubic equation, please see eq. 9, 10 at JCP 129.
The geminate problem is robust in the sense that it describes C(t) of ANY 2
particles, as long as their behavior is controlled by diffusion, it
describes the water pair, but should describe also, for example, liquid
argon. For the second case, ofcourse, different rate constants are expected.

One should NOT see JCP 129 as a proof that previous works were absolutly
wrong !
Instead, it shows that the postulate by Luzar  Chandler, that C(t) of water
is controlled by diffusion, is right, and that with the analytical solution
of the geminate problem one can understand some aspects of the water dimer.
For example - what causes the activation energies of the forward  backward
rate constants to be about similar rather then being different by the
strength of 1 HB?

Hope I was clear.
Omer Markovitch.

[gmx-users] Fwd: charges,resonance and electrostatics

2008-09-24 Thread Omer Markovitch
 Hello,
There is a point, I want to clear out for myself:
Say we focus on the aspartate residue. It has a formal charge of -1.
This charge on either oxygen of the carboxyl is -0.8 (oxygens OD1  OD2),
according to one of the force fields employed in GROMACS.

What is the right way to calculate electrostatics here:
1) As is, and letting the two oxygens repel one another.
2) Ignore this specific pair when calculating?

How does GROMACS operates? I think that (1) is the common practice, but I
want to be sure.

Thank you, Omer Markovitch.

Re: [gmx-users] Fwd: charges,resonance and electrostatics

2008-09-24 Thread Omer Markovitch


 There is no non-bonded interaction between these two oxygens, unless you
 are using an Urey-Bradley potential for the angle, like in the CHARMM force
 field. Most (if not all) of the standard force fields in Gromacs treat the
 interaction of these oxygens within an angle definition, which is a bonded
 term.

 -Justin

 So no coloumb law between the two oxygens?  10x, Omer.

The secret is, to have the timestep small enough so that you could truly

Other then that, look at the previous answers you got for a more hands on

Re: [gmx-users] GROMACS sample procedure

2008-09-18 Thread Omer Markovitch
I think there are example files, look at the gromacs web site.
A super brief answer would be as follows:
File.top is the topology file. It holds description of atom types
 potentials.
File.gro holds the initial coordinates, and box dimensions.
File.mdp holds run parameters (how many steps, temperature, output control,
simulation type, etc`).
The command grompp reads some input files, and prepares file.tpr, which is
then used as an input to mdrun - the ultimate command that does the actual
MD.
The number of different initials of G.R.O.M.A.C.S., minus the nearest prime
number is 17.
Gromacs has healing powers.
Please refer to the gromacs manual for more details, and to the gromacs wiki
aswell.

 Groups are defined in index files (.ndx), which are created with make_ndx.
 Calpha is a default group read in from a protein structure.  To create a

 would use

 e.g.
 program crash

 coarse graining

 Since the submission is by regular email and hence there is no
  possibility of introducing a radio box with topic options, this could  be
 implemented by allowing any user to define the topic to which a  particular
 message belongs. Ideally, the submitter would go to the  website after
 submission and set the topic of their own submission.

 If the archives then allowed a user to view only a particular topic,
  then this would offer an alternative to the search tool, and also a  link
 to such a topical list could be posted in the relevant pages on  the wiki.

 I realize that the actual coding of such an interface may not be
  available at this time. But I suspect that somebody on this list knows
  some type of useful optimizations that are possible at this time.

Which version should I use for parallel computing?

Thank you.

Re: [gmx-users] printing coords ; energies

Thank you.
Sorry for not being clearer. I meant where in the source code are the energy
related functions  variables?

  2) Regarding energies - where are the energies stored? I mean the energy
 per
  type?

 The energies of the energy groups (as defined in the mdp file) are
 stored in the edr file (ener.edr by default).

  In which file  variable is this defined?
  I understand that these values are printed to the log file (usually named
  md.log), but I failed to locate the exact functions dealing with this.

[gmx-users] printing coords ; energies

2008-09-04 Thread Omer Markovitch
Dear All,
I would like to consult you on the following two things:

*void write_xtc_traj(FILE *log,t_commrec *cr,

Is this true or perhaps I've missed something?
