[gmx-users] retraining multiple protein ligand interactions using pull-code

2013-03-28 Thread Saravanan
Hello everyone,

I am new to using gromacs. I am currently studying an enzyme catalysing a
transfer reaction. there are two substrates and I want to restraint
specific interactions between different parts of the ligands and the
protein. As I understand so far from reading various discussions in the
group, restraining such interactions is possible through pull code, But we
can assign only one pull group0, I am wondering if there is better way to
restraint multiple interactions between multiple molecules in a single
simulation. If not through pull-code, what will be the best way to ensure
many specific intermolecular restraints?

thank you very much in advance.

regards,
Saravanan

Thank you.. I hoped it would be simpler. how do I go about creating unified
protein-ligand [moleculartype] directives. Can you suggest any material
available on this topic? that would be extremely helpful.

 Use distance restraints.  Unfortunately, this will require a lot of
 topology hacking to create unified protein-ligand [moleculetype]
 directives.  Restraints (like any bonded interaction) can only be applied
 within a [moleculetype], not between them.

Re: [gmx-users] Problem with Inflategro!!!

2012-07-18 Thread Manikam Sadasivam Saravanan
Thanks for the message, I have a .pdb containing my membrane protein
inside the leaflet of popc bilayer, so i wanted to remove the
interacting lipid molecules, hence i used inflategro.

I used CHARMM GUI only to produce a pure POPC bilayer, I didnt produce
a protein bilayer system using that, because I wanted to fix/orient my
protein exactly according to my need, so I was using SYBYL to do it.

the box vector values were   11.13710  11.41790   7.60370
and after changing HOH to SOL, my water molecules disappeared as expected.

 Currently I am working with simulation of Membrane protein in a popc

 the
 building unit cell part of the KALP tutorial and with the satisfied

 Then the final pdb with protein, popc and water molecules is used to

 a .gro file using pdb2gmx tool.

 later I tried to do Inflategro to remove the unwanted lipid molecules
 interacting with my protein, but i was not successful because, when i
 visualize my .gro file of system-inflated, my water molecules are still
 present and my protein is out of from my lipid box and when i shrink the
 bilayer, the protein is completely lost!
 could you please give me an idea to do a proper inflated and deflate in my
 case?  thank you!!


 Why do you even need InflateGRO?  Is there some reason CHARMM-GUI produces
 an unsatisfactory result?  I thought that it could produce membrane protein
 systems, in which case you don't need to do anything.

 Unfortunately, at this point, it's impossible to know what's going wrong.
 There are too many weird things going on, none of which should be happening
 with a sensible input.  A few things to consider:

 1. What are the box vectors in the .gro file produced by pdb2gmx?
 2. Are the water molecules named properly?  InflateGRO expects them to be
 named SOL in order to work.

no, water problem is solved, but my protein is still out of the bilayer,
When i change:minimize my box vector values and inflate...the protein
is packed inside. but now  the area per lipid is too low for popc its
like 0.148 nm2

Re: [gmx-users] Problem with Inflategro!!!

my command to inflate was - perl inflategro.pl protein_popc.gro 4 POPC

when I inflate with box vectors value 11.13710  11.41790   7.60370, my
protein is out of inflated lipid boundary.  if i change my value to
1.39213   1.42723   0.0 (dividing above value by half and half),
now my protein is at the center of inflated popc. but the area per
lipid even after inflation is still only 0.148 nm2.

should i use editconf with the whole .gro file containing protein,
popc  or i have to separate my protein only as a new.gro file and
perform editconf and then cat?

thanks for the suggestions!

 After inflation, the area should be huge.  What was your command line for
 InflateGRO?

 If the protein is not in the desired location, you need to use editconf
 -center to adjust its coordinates.  Make sure it is also within a box that
 matches that of the lipid bilayer.
