Aw: [gmx-users] DPOSRES and energy minimization
all-bonds and none work, so I assume, as alternating between these settings speeds up the EM. However, I always see the protein move around in the box after centering, so just re-center after reaching pressure and temp stability before the extended pre-run equilibration with set restraints (which seems to keep the protein where I want at this point).

Aw: Re: [gmx-users] Constant-Force Pulling of Ubiquitin
I dont know how well v-rescale works with pulling. It could be after removing some restraints it still had not reached a good equilibrium (ie let it run a while/nanosecound or 5, before pulling it), or maybe generating velocities on start causes more caos than the proteins or system can handle, still it may be the real system minus several initial time frames, ie it either isnt bound from the start as it is in reality or it prefers to be free...But I may be wrong on some of this...so just suggestions. Also, 500 picoseconds is short for measring things, and would probably be dominated by starting velocity for at least 40-80 picoseconds, thus look at how fast it declines...there are some printed standards for protein-protein delG or domain changes of around 3-4 ns to make sure small loop/domain changes are represented in the energy profile. There was (on some comments) talk of making this around 6 ns..but I dont know if there are set real standards for this held fast to (ive read 2 papers with 400 ns to see domain changes with no pull, and a good 5-6 at 4 ns with pulling so?).

I was just attempting to run this by some developers. In the past two years I have run into several materials based work which would benifit from electric currents, or electomagnetic fields (external broad range in setting). In the recent science there was a nice piece about this applied to liquid droplets with particles, or doped secoundary chemistry (oils, polymers, complex small molecule/metal adducts and/or nano bead polymers...), which primarily work through external magnetic field altering the surface chemistry, and retaining the effects after fields are removed. This can also be applied to electromagentic induced crystalization at atomic level, multi layered liquid interfaces...etc. In any case this might be an area where simulations would play a large part if effects from external fields, or even free electrons (currents applied in layers, surfaces or the entire unit cell) could be modeled sufficiently. Meaning probably a good lab funding source and interesting work. Sorry about any spelling areas.

Aw: RE: [gmx-users] Continuing runs from 4.5.4 in 4.6.3
I ran into this, you basically should determine your time frame, and install 4.5.4 if its a problem local (only 1-2 hours), to finish the work, otherwise you need to start from scratch. But I did this with older versions, so do not know about higher versions (such as if theprogrammerseliminated the read version number thing at many of the script initializing things...). The auxillary software does work for analysis, but you end up having to cut things into portions with some aspects, 1/2 one version versus 1/2 the other...but mostly for higher end analysis, not the simplistic ones, such as distance versus hessian matrices or covariance.

Aw: [gmx-users] g_sham
This is my own experience, someone may have better suggestions. First, you can look on the internet for .py .c++ or java matix manupulation tools/small programs run in bash shells. These allow the output from the g:sham or other (2d or 3d) to be turned into mtricies. These can then be fed into qtiplot/scidavis matricies. You can also sum/n all of these for guassians to get your overall realistic maps. qtiplot makes nice images of matricies with thermal maps...also, with the 1980 .xpm files, you can just cut these (the mtrix portion) and feed them into qtiplot, and do all fo the same. Theres a setting for real values (0.335587) vs 0 and 1, but I forget these, and then do the same for your guassian, and plot these in the same software. Mostly all of this is based on simple matix manipulation .py or .C++ found for free on the internetbut are doable for any projectothers might have better suggestions...

Aw: [gmx-users] Umbrella sampling - position restraints
it more accuratly represents reality (my opinion), but is not feasable with high energy affinities such as protein-protein or DNA-protein interactions with short (under u or m seconds) and is used as such (I assume) in many things, or you cant pull them apart.

Aw: Re: [gmx-users] Umbrella Sampling
I did this with a small molecule and the ions were in the solvent, but associated with the ligand, and conversly if the site has a Mg or something etc...it wouldnt be restrained in the normal posres.itp unless you made one for them. It is in the end a matter of view, but I am assuming the change in the binding sites energy would reflect also the ions or the ions being attached to the ligand would not represent a completly solvated ligand (ie energy missing). The positional restraint I stated meant you can just make a two ion -posres_ion and include it in an .mdp however it might screw your system up if your protein is not positionally restrained, or calphas etc...thus I dont know based on your experiment. If the ions move into solution it probably doesnt matter (a quick visual of the simulation). But somone else might have better ideas to help out. Stephan Gesendet:Mittwoch, 31.

Aw: [gmx-users] unable to equilibrate pressure in npt
Dear Amin, I did such things in the past, and had similar issues. First of, somone may have beter suggestions. The coupling time will bring it down a bit in the .mdp file (0.2 Vs 2 picoseconds. However, I have found that you will still see large fluctuations around a mean once equilibrated which can vary by 10 to 60, 70 Atomospheres depending on the pressure coupling algorythim used. If it oscillates around this mean, without large up or down changes I assume it is eqd. Basically, if you look at it from the perspective of what pressure itself entails, it is the direct kenetic force of small molecules bumping into each other, so a simple protein movmeent in a small unit cell is turned by the computer into a molar ration, which looks crazy at the macroscopic level, but in reality you do not usually have the unit cell in such a deminsion. This is of course unless your system is made of nothing other than small molecules, which take off a 0 to the oscillation range. the pressure algorythms just keep it from going to insanly large limits, such as an ice cube because of 200 kcal/mol - enthalpy or boiling in the reverse, by pretending there is a universal pressure applied to the unit cell...so a generalized correction for the fact that the unit cell is not really representing infinaty as it is treated by the computer...based on real macroscopic pressures. I may be wrong , but this is my assumption. Stephan Watkins Gesendet:Donnerstag, 25.

Aw: Re: [gmx-users] How to calculate enthalpy
I thought about this reguaring solvation energy. If you use a good water model, and make a secoundary index for solvent (ie Solvent2 atoms x-xn), the normal Gromacs energy extraction would allow you to just extract all energy between protein and solvent2. I assume you could do some extreemly accurate solvation energy calculations this way, but the guassians for say 10-20 parallel runs of the same system would be much greater than say a protein-protein interaction. I am sure solvent models would have to be good as well, but may allow you to do what you wished, however I would make sure through others first, and I do not know what you wished to do completly.

I meant to say its easy to define (in general) impropers for chiral centers, but not sure about bonds (here peptide). In oplsaa.ff I just looked ALA in aminoacids.rtp for which there are two impropers.

H1 O H3 I / --C1---C--N---C2-- / I H2 H H4 OK, funky text drawing :) But it looks like youve got an amide flanked by two methylene groups as the repeat unit. So I think improper (being zero) to keep peptide planar should be defined (and sufficiently) as: O C N C1 and dihedral should be which is simple as: O C N H But it confuses me, why one needs to define improper for peptide. If I just keep dihedral angle strict (high force constant) then it will make peptide freezed! so it will remain planar. The OPLS approach for amides is to define normal dihedrals as well as impropers. Keep in mind that rotations about a bond and out-of-plane bending are different types of motion. I suppose you could achieve what youre thinking of by very strong force constants for the dihedrals, but I would wonder if youre then throwing the balance of 1-4 interactions (especially charges) out of whack. 2) Also, I am not sure whether OPLS needs this peptide bond to be defined with improper, someone have experienced this please suggest? All the amino acids in the aminoacids.rtp file specify impropers centered on the C and N atoms of the peptide bond. I would stick with that approach. -Justin -- ==** Justin A.

I am not sure if this is right. My question is, on what basis do we select the optimum pull_rate1 and pull_k1 for a particular system? Or is it just a choice of parameters as long as the system does not deform? How does an ideal force-time plot look like and does the choice of pull_k1 affect the histogram? It appears, the entire procedure depends on the choice of input of these two variables. I would greatly appreciate if someone can explain this concept. Thanks a lot.

In this case if it is set to yes and 0.0 respectively then does that mean this combination is equivalent to pull_start = No if I just assume pull_init1 does not have any default value (which is 0.0); not existing 5) Also finally where are upper and lower bounds defined. pull_k1 = 1000 is harmonic applied to some equilibrium distance value. How this distance is taken by the programme (or it is just the starting distance taken between two groups) and what are the +/- values defined.

Stephan Gesendet:Donnerstag, 30. Mai 2013 um 20:48 Uhr Von:Dejun Lin dejun@gmail.com An:gmx-users@gromacs.org Betreff:[gmx-users] Free energy calculation: merge the topology of 2 molecules Hi all, Im trying to set-up a free energy calculation where a molecule has +2 charge in its native state (state A) and no charge in the mutant (state B). Since the molecule has net +2 charge, I have to add counter-ions to neutralize the system in state A. But in order to transform it to state B and still maintain a neutral system, the counter-ions have to be transformed too. I tried only transforming only the target molecule not the ions but the simulation crashes very quickly. I searched the gmx-users archives and found some suggestion about merging the topology definition of ions into that of the molecule under one [moleculetype] section. I tried that but mdrun warned me with tons of inconsistent shift: There were 2 inconsistent shifts. Check your topology There were 18 inconsistent shifts. Check your topology There were 16 inconsistent shifts. Check your topology There were 12 inconsistent shifts. Check your topology There were 16 inconsistent shifts. Check your topology ... and the simulation cant be run in parallel because mdrun would just quick and complain about not being able to do domain decomposition: There is no domain decomposition for 16 nodes that is compatible with the given box and a minimum cell size of 29.6188 nm I guess the issue is Gromacs thinks those counter-ions belongs chemically to the target molecule although they are actually not in close proximity in space, which mess up the DD. partition. I wonder if theres a way to get around that.

To get best performance it is important to use a machine with hardware balanced for GROMACS workloads. Too little GPU resources will result in CPU idling; too much GPU resources will lead to the runs being CPU or multi-GPU scaling bound and above a certain level GROMACS wont be able to make use of additional GPUs. Of course, the balance will depend both on hardware and simulation settings (mostly the LJ cut-off used). An additional factor to consider is typical system size. To reach near peak pair-force throughput on GPUs you typically need 20k-40k particles/GPU (depends on the architecture) and throughput drops below these values. Hence, in most cases it is preferred to use fewer and faster GPUs rather than more. Without knowing the budgdet and indented use of the machine it is hard to make suggestions, but I would say for a budget desktop box a quad-core Intel Ivy Bridge or the top-end AMD Piledriver CPU with a fast Kepler GTX card (e.g. GTX 680 or GTX 770/780) should work well. If youre considering dual-socket workstations, I suggest you go with the higher core-count and higher frequency Intel CPUs (6+ cores 2.2 GHz), otherwise you may not see as much benefit as you would expect based on the insane price tag (especially if you compare to an i7 3939K or its IVB successor).

Aw: [gmx-users] GPU-based workstation
Dear Dr. Starlight, Dont know the answere to all, but funny I was looking at performance on varied others web sites. I use a core i7 970, but it seems their newest chip is almost the same as the i7 in performance (thier newer chips dont scale past 12 cores for some internal chip based design, they put out a 60 core chip for 1K and it doesnt even reach 1 terflop), and the newer GPUs suffer from board IO limits due the PCIe being maxed out. As far as boards, home PC (im in Switzerland so have been mind distroyed as far as prices), theres a 4 CPU 10 GPU tyan board for 4K US (if you dig enough maybe 3,500) which with ram, chips and a single Nvidia would run up to 5-6 K US. The i7 970s can be baught for 30-50 US a pop now if you look becuase intel overshot its abilities and gave off the rights to several bulk manufacturers (all LG 1366 socket chips even i5s) as they add more pins (2100 or something), but you have to spend a day or two on the internet looking through sellers abroad. The Nvidas are the pricy thing, however from what I have read, you dont get much more from their latest as well as mentioned, so 2 more years waiting, or something like I mentioned with a 2 year old Nvidia or two, would be the best especially for research purposes. Otherwise a single 300 US board with 4 usable PCIes (ASUS arnt bad), ram, 1 i7 970, and 1 Nvida from 2 years back gives you around 1.3 terflops, with their lates 1.4-1.5 teraflops (integrated use of chip alone). The i7 I have I have got around 350 Gflops for some things with 8 threads. I use radeons though, although this requires user programming, and if you use ther FFT libraries, you have to sign your first child over and loose any freeware redistribution rights in any way, otherwise their supposedly supposed to have all the same CUDA like libraries by the end of the summer (Portlandgroup , openCL), but I heard the same for 2 years now.

The hydrogen bonding energy would have/is usefull to myself. An example, I use the .ndx as you did below for protein-protein interactions only. I get around 25 and 28 for two different states. The interesting part is the 25 is about 7 times the delG, however the hydrogen bonds move much less, and remain in contact longer across the trajectory. A nice hydrogen bonding energy (real Vs.

Why here is always 200, not matter what types of hydrogen bonds. How many donors do you have, and how many acceptors? 2) In my system, there are several different types of hydrogen bonds, such as intra-chain and inter-chain or intra-sheet and inter-sheet hydrogen bonds. Is there any smart way to separately calculate those hydrogen bonds? By using the index.ndx file, I could separate the intra-chain hydrogen bonds, then I can get the inter-chain ones using the total one minus the intra-chain one. It may be possible to do the same for the intra-sheet and the inter-sheet. However, this strategy seems complex. Did anybody have experience or ideas for this problem?

I am able to match the energies with an identical run not using look-up tables. The problem comes when I want to include the C6 C12 parameters within the table.

Let me start from the beginning: Im trying to take a structure/topology that I generated with GROMACS tools and convert it to run with NAMD. The problem is that this is a huge simulation box with many different atom types (homodimeric protein, water, lipids, ions), and I am having a lot of trouble generating a .psf file from the information I have. The current strategy Im pursuing to accomplish this task is to use the top2psf script: http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/script_library/scripts/top2psf/ The issue is that this script will only read what is explicitly written in the top file. All of the include records will be ignored, as will multiple molecules. So, the output is a psf suitable ONLY for the first chain of my dimer. I want a psf that will include all components of my structure, including the lipids, waters, etc. So, I ask, is there a way to expand a topology to explicitly get all of the connectivities in a structure? I figure this information must be contained in the .tpr file, but thats neither human readable nor compatible with top2psf. If you have any advice for that, or for the larger problem at hand, I would appreciate it. Thank you very much!

You can also embed your protein-bound small molecule, protein unbound small molecule a good distance away in solvent of choice, then eq it at the proper temp/pressure. Then take several samples along an equed space, let them just run unrestrained, and you can calculate the energy change mean...same technique as the tutorial munus the pulled aspect.

This goes to my interest of harnessing small computing systems for doing all these tasks. There are systems like rna molecules where i could get the fine grained structure first and then running the entire molecule to obtain the coarser structure. As someone says it might not improve time but at least having the ability to run portions only on my small desktop overnight or just leave it there running a lot of this could be accomplished. I do have access to a cluster but having to wait in the queue is time that can be used to getting somewhere, maybe slower but youre moving.

Aw: [gmx-users] Re:Concept
So last week I read a post about liquid/gas layers in a box and it has me thinking (ie I cant shut it off). As it would sim wise (and I asume there is already something somewhere that does it) for a large body of fileds such as astrophysics, liquid dynamics, gas/gas interface I woundered if anyone had thoughts on the subject. It was pointed a standard box, say 200 nm cubed with half liquid, half gas or vacum quickly just diffuses the molecules across the area. My thoughts were you could introduce a wall, with a set filed parameter in the mid point which would correct for some of the things happening. I think now, a box would also have to be irregular for such things, ie 200x200x2000 or some extreem deminsion in one axis. The point would be to do expirements say where I have a set atmosphere of several gases at a given pressure, etc...then introduce a solvent to half the box, ie just h2o, and then simulate the changes to this system in general to a final equilibrated point. The main feature say I take 4 gases, CO2, NH3, O2, N2, and Ar or Ne, etc... The varied solubility of these is something like 3.5 g/L, 5 g/L , 0.02 g/L, etc... thus drastic effects on the atmospheric side of the box. The delima is at the molecular level, there is a gas/liquid interface that in the real world is not to pretty to model, mostly acting like 3-5 layers of mixing as far as equilibrim dynamics are conscerned over a macroscopic level of only 1-2 uM, but at the sim level this deminsion is enourmous. Thus I would to the developers propose a wall table set that may help reduce the sizes concerned. I should aslo add for Astrophysics type things, say the earth atmosphere, at the extreem altitudes, you have layering of gases, Vs. Mixing of these below a specific altitude, or conversly density from pressure and garvity (close to the surfaces of the planet, but mostly applicable to large atoms such as Radon or Ar). These higher areas are a few 100 meters to few feet, but behave like a liquid liquid interface. This is increasingly important to fields modeling foreighn atmospheres, examples like Jupiter or a far off planet where you can get the mixture percentages and density, but need to then model these based in size and mass would be say 10K ATM, and an area where gravity or not begin to play a roll. Thaughts suggestions, etc...would be intersting. Or grants for somone...

Actaul interfaces though I assume would include large amounts of mixing right at the atomic level interface, but I have no clue how far this would extend. If you remove rotational effects, I am willing to bet you can model a gas/gas interface at the atomic level with extreem conditions, which might be an aset in some fileds/areas of research.

Im trying (VERY hardly) to add missing parameters into ffbonded.itp file for AMBER99SB ff, using those parameters found in files calculated by Antechamber. To date, Ive added those parameters related to bonds, now I have to add those related to angles, dihedrals and impropers. Im dealing with section [angletypes] of file ffbonded.itp, and Im looking at the values of cth (that I imagine is the angle force constant expressed in kJ mol^-1 rad^-2, correct?) I see that all parameters in ffbonded.itp are multiple of the value of 4.184, corresponding to the conversion factor between kcal and kJ. If I divide each of these values, I obtain a value corresponding to a number such as 80, 70, 120, 40 etc. Instead, if I look at those corresponding values found using Antechamber, I see, as expected, numbers with decimals, that are often very different from those present in ffbonded.itp (when I compare angles present in both files). For example, for the angle CT-CT-CT (3 C sp3), I see in ffbonded.itp a value of cth equal to 334.72 kJ mol^-1 rad^-2. For the same angle, Antechamber calculated a value of 63.21 kcal/mol^-1 rad^-2. If I do 334.72/4.184 the result is 80, which is different from the value of Antechamber. If I consider the angle CT-CT-HC (2 C sp3 and one H) the angle force constant in Antechamber is 46.37 kcal mol-1 rad-2, in ffbonded.itp is 418.4, that divided by 4.184 is exactly 100. Moreover, the same values of angles and forces are applied to angles that in my opinion are quite different among them. For example, I found the same value of 109.5 (th) and 418.4 (cth) for: H2-CT-N*, H1-CT-N*, H1-CT-OH, H1-CT-OS, H2-CT-OS, N*-CT-OS, C-CT-H1, H1-CT-N2, C-CT-HC... All these angles involve atoms that seem very different to me, and Id expect to find different values of these parameters. It seems to me that values into ffbonded.itp related to these force constants are quite strange, especially for the fact that they are EXACTLY multiple of 4.184, and I wonder if Im correctly interpreting these values.

Re: [gmx-users] help with chromophore of a GFP
I had problems having not used gromacs in years a couple years ago. Try running it through with the output as a pdb from pdb2gmx, cut off all headers, and you can then just compare the two files in gedit emacs or word and see differences. That might help. I routinely just keep everything in pdb format as its easier than jumping back and forth.

I'm happy to be on the right track; unfortunately the end point seems to be very far away... I tried to obtain that CFY hydrogens and protein hydrogens are all matching the aminoacids.rtp entry, in order to avoid dealing with aminoacids.hdb. This is what I did: - starting from the pdb file of the protein, I removed CFY entry (prot_noCFY.pdb) - I used pdb2gmx to add H to the protein only: pdb2gmx -f prot_noCFY.pdb -o prot_noCFY_H.pdb -p topol.top - I inserted CFY_H.pdb (obtained with Pymol in a previous passage in which I added H with Pymol to the protein, including CFY) into prot_noCFY_H.pdb, obtaining prot_CFY_H.pdb. In this way, H atoms bound to regular residues have been added using Amber99SB, therefore they are compatible with this ff, and atoms of CFY (previously added with Pymol) have the same naming convention in aminoacids.rtp (that I edited using atom types, charges etc. calculated with Antechamber on this molecule coming from Pymol). Obviously, the atom numbering is not sequential: the last atom of V63 (the last regular residue before CFY) is numbered 938, the first atom of H68 (the first regular residue after CFY) is numbered 939, and the atoms of CFY66 are numbered from 1 to 70. Moreover, since the sequence of atoms in aminoacids.rtp is not the same as in the coordinates of CFY (I adapted the sequence of atoms following the format of other residues in aminoacids.rtp), the numbering of CFY in the prot_CFY_H.pdb is not ordered (1-2-3--69-70) but disordered (19-54-20-55...49-50-24-25). Seems fine. pdb2gmx is mostly about atom/residue naming. grompp is mostly about atom/residue/moleculetype ordering. - At this stage, I used pdb2gmx again to create the topol.top file with all coordinates correct: pdb2gmx -f prot_CFY_H.pdb -o prot_complete.gro -p topol.top (selecting amber99sb forcefield and tip3p for water, as recommended option) This is the message error from pdb2gmx: Read 'FLUORESCENT PROTEIN', 3346 atoms Analyzing pdb file Splitting PDB chains based on TER records or changing chain id.

Re: [gmx-users] only 4 zero eigvals for NMA (with 10^-6 emtol for l-bfgs)
I can imagine why you would go past the first few, but does it print the zero's or just negate them from the equation, as there 0? Stephan Original-Nachricht Datum: Sun, 10 Mar 2013 14:34:52 -0500 Von: Hyuntae Na h...@hotmail.com An: gmx-users@gromacs.org gmx-users@gromacs.org Betreff: [gmx-users] only 4 zero eigvals for NMA (with 10^-6 emtol for l-bfgs) Dear, This is the same issue that I asked last time. I wonder (1) if I setup the test wrong, (2) if NMA *can* have smaller than 6 eigenvalues even though the conformation of a protein is in equilibrium in the enough degree, or (2) if it gromacs does not make it in equilibrium because of the limit of the tolerance that gromacs can take care of. Is there anyone who can give me an advice for this? I updated the sample location in the case that the previous Skype link is not available. I am studying several protein fluctuation proteins using NMA (Normal Mode Analysis). In the mean time, I found out in many cases that NMA hessian matrix has about 3-4 zero eigenvalues even though having 6 zero eigenvalues are expected. I tried to reduce the tolerance level lesser than 10^-6 for the l-bfgs minimization, but still it have only 4 zero eigenvalues. Following is the 9 smallest eigenvalues (you can see that it has only 4 close-to-zero eigenvalues): -1.8476593e-06-1.2164109e-06-1.4830436e-071.3104790e-061.1364704e+001.7418209e+002.2836573e+003.7218206e+004.4875873e+00 Theoretically, NMA should have 6 zero eigenvalues which represents the freedom of the rotation and translation. I wonder why this happens. Is there anyone who can help me for this problem? In order to specify the case, I leave a link to download a zip file that contains files for one NMA tests having the problem: script, mdp, pdb, gro, topol, etc. The zip file also includes the eigenvalue/vector files. http://129.186.69.109/NMA-test.zip Thank you very much. -- Hyuntae -- gmx-users mailing listgmx-users@gromacs.org http://lists.gromacs.org/mailman/listinfo/gmx-users * Please search the archive at http://www.gromacs.org/Support/Mailing_Lists/Search before posting! * Please don't post (un)subscribe requests to the list.

Re: [gmx-users] GROMACS 4.6.1 released
Dear All, I had a quick 2 questions, 1) does anyone know (as a long whiles back I looked over CUDA code not the CUDA Gromacs) if there is more than just obtaining the specs for an ATI GPU within Gromacs (explanation:For CUDA alone it appeared all you needed was an elaborate definition in the CUDA libraries for devices which broke down to deminsions of the arrays, etc as they are arranged wire/signal wise. I looked at these and they were much larger than expected, but free from CUDA and ATI) within Gromacs and 2) Does anyone know if its legal to just post such a thing as the legal issues of using CUDA and ATI are pretty complex, or should this be directed elsewhere? I do know its legal to do it yourself, I just dont know if its legal to share such things.

[gmx-users] Re:Gromacs auxillary tools ideas
Dear All, I read a paper by Van der Groot and realized some tool regarding simple paersons r values, or correlation co-efficient by different names would be a great analytical asset for macromolecular biology. Looking over the code, g:sham seems to have begun implicating such things but it loos like a caotic mess. Basically, I used gnumeric, but MS excel also has functions, and you can take say a PC analysis, and run any other data set and see if it Correlates, ie is an effect of or not related in any way too some other factor, in the case of PC, energy versus anything else. All they need is say you take your Gaussian 10-300 trajectories as a mean in a spread sheet (ie 200-5000) data points in a column, and compare it with PC (or any other thing you want, although energy is about the most comprehensive), and it gives a linear correlation based on pearsons two column correlation of relation (circa 1895)...it does allow say for a a PC, then taking several things like distance, hydro gen bonding means between 2 prtoeins, domain distance, inter protein movements, inter protein hydrogen bonding, LJ or coloumb, etc... and tells you which is the energy or correlation...would be a great asset... And any competent programmer namless could do it in a week or two...as a gromacs tool...would add Bio more to funding sources...

This can be read into various ploting or even pymol/vmd to illustrate the projection on a PCA of 3 dimensions. From the lit it is supposed to show 2 or more conformational states, and a number of intermediary states in between (overall just a 3d PCA graph). If I am wrong please correct me, but this is what the output for me was doing, and I personally prefer the 2D, as its easier to illustrait (as images in 3d lack the necessary rotation to show everything in a static image).

Re: [gmx-users] Re:Ka/Kd
Dear Justin, Thanks, Just a normal delta G then. I wondered if it also was doing a matrices from 2 columns if you supply something like just the 2d output from covar/anaeig (PCA). I did find a simple python 6 liner for just doing PCA with the first (or any 2) derivatives just using numpy, and some module written by tsjerk Wassenaar posted a few years ago (a Gromacs plugin called g_entropy) which all together seem to meet my needs. Also (the above person) has a number of small python scripts for Gromacs for matirces, PCA, and just turning .xpm data from g_sham into a number matrices to put into a plotting tool (such as Scidavis or something). There on a web page, and a few dozen just scattered in older gromacs postings. If I had a request for Gromacs dev though it would be to multithread the vector portions of the analytical tools. A single Intel i7 or AMD only uses one of the 8 cores, so it takes several hours, for each component times each of however trajectories are looked at. Most everything else is a minute or two only using a single core.

Again, I don't understand what is the real meaning of that. Can you please make this clear for me? Consider what (de)coupling means. You are manipulating the interactions of a chosen molecule with its surroundings as a function of lambda. If you tell mdrun that your calculation should not couple intramolecular interactions (couple-intramol = no) then what that is saying is that all nonbonded interactions within that given molecule are always calculated at full strength. That is what the manual is telling you - the calculation implies that intramolecular terms are always on, as if the molecule were in a vacuum. If you do couple intramolecular interactions (couple-intramol = yes), then any nonbonded interactions within your molecule of choice are also scaled as a function of lambda. This may be beneficial for large molecules, since if you are not coupling intramolecular interactions, you may get unnaturally strong interactions within the solute molecule since the interactions with the surrounding solvent are weakened as a function of lambda. Thus you can get odd geometries that get trapped and are detrimental to your sampling. -Justin -- Justin A.

you have to play with the ratio usually of domain decompositions Vs.

It dosent like odd numbers or non-whole decompositions which are based on the cpu's versus total size. fourierspacing = 0.12 ; FFT grid size, when a value is 0 fourierspacing will be used fourier_nx = 0 fourier_ny = 0 fourier_nz = 0 I might have remembered the answer wrong though, but someone will correct me if I am wrong I hope.

[gmx-users] Re: vmd-l: Re: compiling VMD with gcc 4.7
Dear All, I spent two days converting a .top file from gromos53a6 to one readable by VMD/NAMD. Now I am about to begin the ffbonded/nonbonded to a readable format for the same and would like to know beforehand if anyone has already done this so I can just use the library? Most are straightforward conversions of format. The main prblem is the NAMD (I believe) does not already have the parameters for cg or merged CH croups. The gromos force fields for gromacs only do this with chain non-polar, leaving the charged H groups alone. I did find however, no equivalent with trying to first generate a .psf file, and then looking at the vdw /angle, dihedrals and non bonded files for NAMD. Example a methyl is CH3 with a mass of 15.00 CH2 Mass 14 ,etc with only 3 atom type changes, you would think it wouldnt be so painfull, but it turns into a hellish nightmare. Any links or pointers would be appreciated, however I already assume I have to do this myself to use the VMD tools with Gromacs traj.

Re: [gmx-users] Analysis of enssemble of MD trajectories
Dear Dr. I might be wrong, but I think you can use g_rms with two seperate trj files, and it takes the rms from the starting structure of the first one. In which case you would have to decide which is the reference, and then just do it three times. Theres also auxiliarry software which has plugins for this, such as VMD, Pymol, or even O run in some sort of batch. In pymol I know it can be run as a script, but you need all saved pdb files extracted from each trj, so would be a bit large and pain. with the VMD it has plugins for them, but I only played with it once. If you only want to look at beginning and end rms from say the start and end for all traj-using just a couple pdb at either end would be easy in pymol and O. There is also these new tools I found in Bio R (its called Bio3D if you look on the web for the freeware) , which are all scripts that I tried once, which work as well, mostly the take a reference structure and parse the pdbs output from a trj (if you write out each individually) but there values are different but directtly correlatable (ie say 1.6 from the former and something like 80% is cranked out by the later Vs 0.4 and 5% meaning no change) Hope that helps, and if I am wrong about something somone corrects me.

I would only need to EQ several starting structures of the Thymine in conformation A, then several in conformation B. Then allow each to just run for a reasonable amount of time, in an NVT system. Then, you can just use the differences from the two to calculate the total energy change, but get no pretty curves, just simply a value. This is relativly quick as it is essentially just long EQs. I have done this, and it it fits biochem data from liturature. But B) However, say you want the curves, or to compare positional or distance or other things (ionization, solvation), Then you have to take into account what you want to apply force on, ie a protein, the DNA as a whole or at varied positions along the bases, etc...and then follow the online tutorial for pull simulations. If you are doing this and it is say just DNA, you then have to do dozens of runs, pulling along e ach base and holding the other fixed within reason,(like the complement, then the two on either direction or more...) most likely at several adjascent positions...to get a reflection of the real system.

Therefore, I suggest that you start with something simple like the distance between the NH of thymine and the NH of the paired guanine (assuming that you really have a TG pair).

That, or it may be easier to define some sets of bonds (angles, dihedrials, lengths charges, etc...from either the CRC or national institute of standards) for a small subset of sugars, inclusive of the inter-chain bonds, and then just use the defined names you gave the sugar atoms (ie Cc for sugar carbon, Pc for phosphorylated to sugar, etc... as inclusive this would only be several to a dozen atom types or somthing)(then you can post it :-))...but it might be easier than trying to define things based on single sugar moieties available on the web, as you most likely would have errors when your suger moities are large from the inter-sugar bonds between subunits, such as a 10-20 length polysacharide on a glycosylated protein. This is less trivial than it might seem, but would still take a few days, and you might be able to use all but say 1-2 atoms if you find several defined parameters for sugars on the web already...

Re: [gmx-users] Bins in wham analysis
True, I found the lower bin numbers makes the error change (increase), especially at ends of the run, howevere the mean values were the same. I also checked with g_sham as comparision, and found again the means the same but differences in error (max and min values if I include all data). So all three checks gave same mean, different (wider or lower) error (and I guess subsequent varience so is expected). Interesting note, if I use sham, or wham, running wham on only a single trajectory, then merge them all by hand in a spread sheet (wham output), the wham has the same values as the sham? Does anyone know why?

If I have performed by simulations over 15 umbrellas (15 different staring structures), what should be the ideal number of bins to perform wham analysis? Does it depend on the number of umbrellas. For example: 1) Should I use more than 15 bins in my case, and the one that gives proper overlap in histogram ? 2) Or any number of bins (even if it is less than 12) can be used, if I get proper overlap in my histogram output? Any suggestion is appreciated. The -bins option has to do with the final PMF profile. The default value is 200, and I would think that setting a low number like 12 or 15 would result in very poor output.

Re: [gmx-users] Final state not reached in pulling simulation
your pull force looks insanly high especially if your pulling a small piece of residue? But for a whole protein of averidge 40 KDa, or 350 amino acids its around 2000 to 3000 from liturature (only about 6 that I could find anyways). I might thus be wrong, but wounder if you have a pull rate and force what one wins?

If this happens you should observe an increase in the force due to the umbrella potential. If the problems are due to waters molecules which block the 'pathway' you could just delete them. If another group is in the way, you might want to change the pull-vector (and if lucky find the right one). But don't know what would be the best strategy in this case. Maybe you can look into what docking-people do, seems to me that your simulation is related to what they do (but myself has absolute no knowledge about docking simulations). greetings thomas Am 12.07.2012 17:26, schrieb gmx-users-requ...@gromacs.org: Hello all, I m performing a pulling simulation on my Protein-Mg-GTP complex.

Yes, One is a newer 12. version Vs. 11.10. The one PC at home just ignores the for loop, and uses it as an infanite loop over everything while the other complains of syntax (vs.12). The one while loop I posted works on both, and you can also catch averidges well by $ sh script.sh outterminaloutput.txt If somone is interested in averidges. For me they're not that important, except mayby solvent wise. I looked at it with terminal output and realized it went on for 10,000 or more steps/iterations over g_energy but didnt notice before is why it threw me off.

Re: [gmx-users] Modifying Lennard-Jones cross term
Well, Ill give that a shot from memory of a discussion some time ago, which you could probably track down on the e-mails of past search engine. I think it has to do with force field types, either they list the sigma values, or direct 6, 12 or derived LJ parameters, so it would be related to which force field you use. Otherwise they are in the .rtp, .itp files for specific force fields as tables, and I assume as such you could then put anything you wished in there real or not, as the software would just take the table value. Although I assume someone else has more direct advice, personally though I dont think there would be much of a difference of it unless your atoms pairs have different sigma values than those used in gromacs. You might, if you wished only 2 atoms, have to define an entry for those explicitly, giving some names different from the other things in the .rtp, .itp files, then the respective sigmas in the parameters. The bulletin/email list also has ample things on this (modification of the files) as well, but the files are all strait forward if you just look at them in an editor. Defining the resultant, (example sigma_12) might be hard however, as in either case it still plugs in the parameter to an equation. Otherwise you could plot distances and do the lj calculation by hand, but it might get heck-tick if you include any solvent, or other effects...

Re: [gmx-users] Regarding umbrella sampling simulations along H-bonds
Dear Neeru Sharma, I know off hand from years of work with Mg-GTP sites, they are realativly rigid/staritforward. If the bonds arn't present with occupied GTP, or Mg at the beggining, you should equilabrate your starting structures more. Unless your looking at the GTP binding to Mg in which case, the Mg bonds should at least be present. Mg wont leave the site under norm conditions, unless the protein is unfolded (or recycled in cell biological or biochemical terms), or outcompeted with a higher affine ion. Can anyone suggest me what parameters or pull_geometry shall I use, to perform the same. Any suggestion is welcome! Thats too experiment specific to say, without knowing what your trying to look at.

Re: [gmx-users] umbrella sampling with distances larger than half box size
I would wait for others to answere but, a) you might try orienting your circular DNA in a visual program first and then use say just pull nny or something just as it makes it easier to see output and makes restraints nicer in output, b) the pull k1 might be larger for an effect on macromolecules, ie in some protein work its around 2000-3000 but I have also seen some with 1000, however these are 300-1000 aminos or larger proteins so do not know how it would translate to DNA c) Just increase your deminsions in 1 direction from the pull defined in a) or your origional vector Aside, Like I said Im a novice so others might have more usefull information.

Dear Vidhyh Sankar, IndexError: list index out of range When a program reads in lists or arrays, in the software there is usually a set size, for lines or number of atoms, etc... If the array or list is longer than the set value you get this error. Also, if a counter is off, ie stops one short through an iteration usually from not reading lines properly or geting a returned length for an index which has changed in length... It either means one of the following: 2 of your files dont match in size (ie number of atoms) 1 of your files has the formatting wrong, ie lines are speced too long, so it doesnt read them properly or theres a problem with the script, where it gets incorrect index lenghts. if you look at the lines mentioned in the setupUmbrella.py script, it will tell you exactly what it is trying to read in, and you can then either know if its missmatch, or your files are formatted wrong.

Re: [gmx-users] GPU crashes
Did you play with the time step? Just currious, but I woundered what happened with 0.0008, 0.0005, 0.0002. I found if I had a good behaving protein, as soon as I added a small (non-protein) molecule which rotated wildly while attached to the protein, it would crash unless I reduced the time step to the above when constraints were removed after EQ ... always it seemed to me it didnt like the rotation or bond angles, seeing them as a violation but acted like it was an amino acid? (the same bond type but with wider rotation as one end wasnt fixed to a chain) If your loop moves via backbone, the calculated angles, bonds or whatever might appear to the computer to be violating the parameter settings for problems, errors, etc as it cant track them fast enough over the time step. Ie atom 1-2-3 and then delta 1-2-3 with xyz parameters, but then the particular set has additional rotation, etc and may include the chain atoms which bend wildly (n-Ca-Cb-Cg maybe a dihedral) but probab ly not this. Just a thought but probably not the right answere as well, it might be the way it is broken down (above) over GPUs, which convert everything to matricies (non-standard just for basic math operations not real matricies per say) for exicution and then some library problem which would not account for long range rapid (0.0005) movements at the chain (Ca,N,O to something else) and then tries to apply these to Cb-Cg-O-H, etc using the initial points while looking at the parameters for say a single amino acid...Maybe the constraints would cause this, which would make it a pain to EQ, but this allowed me to increase the time step, but would ruin the experiment I had worked on as I needed it unconstrained to show it didnt float away when proteins were pulled, etc...I was using a different integrator though...just normal MD. ANd your cutoffs for vdw, etc...Why are they 0? I dont know if this means a defautl set is then used...but if not ? Wouldnt they try integrating using both types of formula, or would it be just using coulumb or vice versa?

Lemkul jalem...@vt.edu An: Discussion list for GROMACS users gmx-users@gromacs.org Betreff: [gmx-users] GPU crashes Hi All, I'm wondering if anyone has experienced what I'm seeing with Gromacs 4.5.5 on GPU. It seems that certain systems fail inexplicably. The system I am working with is a heterodimeric protein complex bound to DNA. After about 1 ns of simulation time using mdrun-gpu, all the energies become NaN. The simulations don't stop, they just carry on merrily producing nonsense. I would love to see some action regarding http://redmine.gromacs.org/issues/941 for this reason ;) I ran simulations of each of the components of the system individually - each protein alone, and DNA - to try to track down what might be causing this problem. The DNA simulation is perfectly stable out to 10 ns, but each protein fails within 2 ns. Each protein has two domains with a flexible linker, and it seems that as soon as the linker flexes a bit, the simulations go poof. Well-behaved proteins like lysozyme and DHFR (from the benchmark set) seem fine, but anything that twitches even a small amount fails. This is very unfortunate for us, as we are hoping to see domain motions on a feasible time scale using implicit solvent on GPU hardware. Has anyone seen anything like this? Our Gromacs implementation is being run on an x86_64 Linux system with Tesla S2050 GPU cards. The CUDA version is 3.1 and Gromacs is linked against OpenMM-2.0. An .mdp file is appended below. I have also tested finite values for cutoffs, but the results were worse (failures occurred more quickly). I have not been able to use the latest git version of Gromacs to test whether anything has been fixed, but will post separately to gmx-developers regarding the reasons for that soon. -Justin === md.mdp === title = Implicit solvent test ; Run parameters integrator = sd dt = 0.002 nsteps = 500 ; 1 ps (10 ns) nstcomm = 1 comm_mode = angular ; non-periodic system ; Output parameters nstxout = 0 nstvout = 0 nstfout = 0 nstxtcout = 1000 ; every 2 ps nstlog = 5000 ; every 10 ps nstenergy = 1000 ; every 2 ps ; Bond parameters constraint_algorithm= lincs constraints = all-bonds continuation= no; starting up ; required cutoffs for implicit nstlist = 0 ns_type = grid rlist = 0 rcoulomb= 0 rvdw= 0

Each index group that g_select provides corresponds to an individual frame in the original trajectory, which you can use to pull out individual coordinate files. Perhaps a multi-frame .pdb or .gro file would work, but I believe that .xtc and .trr files have to have the same number of atoms in each frame to be interpreted correctly. -Justin -- Justin A.

Re: [gmx-users] How GROMACS calculate the energy of hydrogen bond
Dear All, I have no clue what specifically you are trying, but I feal bad for all the physicist and quantum chemist whom have provided the software and continued to develop it. Scanning in my free time, it seems a large amount of confusion on what people are trying to do stems from differences in what is taught textbook wise for things. For instance a hydrogen bond to a physicist is an integration over space in 3 dimensions including time and probabilities of occupied spaces (atom position variabilities reflected even more in proteins, ie the necessity of multiple MD runs with different starting conformations), Vs. an organic chemist whom has cut offs, ie angles between two points and set distances between two atoms which generally reflect the means of calculated chemical energies within a range (say 80-90% which represent means, but usually from raw small molecules as determinants), Vs. Biologist whom have tables which either use a set distance and angle and little account of variability over time (ie a hydrogen bond equals 1.4 kCal/mol reflecting the absolute mean), conformations in amino acids, etc... I think with gromacs it is very precise, as even the smallest energies between two interacting atoms is taken into account with accuracy reflected by the force fields used, and how they were derived. Good luck, your going to start seeing more and more a flood of biologist.

As you know, for the same hydrogen bond in a protein, the related hydrogen bond angle and bond length can vary within a scope during the whole simulation process, however this small vibration of the hydrogen bond angle and length can lead to significant energy change, and correspondingly the energy of a hydrogen bond in simulation can be varied significantly. In comparison with hydrophobic effect, it would be too much is the energy of the hydrogen bond would be not calculated continuously. It isn't, if the model physics isn't paramtrized to include it explicitly - which is the case for all the force fields in GROMACS. Could you give some further clarification? What are trying to do? Measuring the strength of a hydrogen bond requires you identify a state with and without it and a path between them over which you can integrate.

Re: [gmx-users] crude interaction energy using g_energy
I think the reality of biological systems is represented as such accurately. Everyone always strives in biochemistry for a precise number, ie binding affinity = 489.489 exactly. In real systems there are to many variables (solvent, ions, particular position of moving amino acids at point A or B, etc...). The original rule of thumb for beginning to study these systems was to do 100 MD simulations, but I personally think a small sample space will give you the same exact mean and STD deviation, STD error, etc... (ie 10-20 runs). There is, as larger MD's are now becoming more common still no set standard for this. A quick way, which also generates the same variability but is faster (if you dont want a nice curve and just the end mean value) is to do MD A at the bound position and EQ it for a couple nano seconds using NV P and T, and then state B unbound the same, then 20 runs is manageable time wise, but you get no pretty curves, ie no transition states which are of interest in many cases, such as particular amino acids, or conformational changes which include several states. I think this might help, although some analysis tools for large scale biological systems (ie say pulling contributions energy wise for a particular amino acid) would be an asset...as I have found none that dont require pulling energies, etc...alot of work at the moment.

Re: [gmx-users] Re: Data Analysis
Dear Justin, Dont panic. 1) there in cyclic happening at 1/4 the entire run but offset by 2-6 picosecounds between runs. 2) There calculated PMF but the data comes from the origional pullf.xvg files generated if I look at each point (same thing a - or low pullf point.) -This is precluding the first 2 picosecounds of a 4 ns pulled run as done by another group with similar (90% identical) protein sets (published). -also in a few after the peak change in energy is reached (around 3.8 ns), I do see fluctuations which I expect due to more free movements. -I also calculated everything with a single histogram analysis, then did statistics using ploting sofware (qti) for all runs together. The errors are the same in either case. -In the end the finalized data (means at any point overall, distances, etc...) are all the same and fit values. If I exclude the data points I get smooth curves. If I include them the single point from one of 11 or 1 of 10 runs just seems to effect the error analysis (STD deviation, Standard error) but affects the mean(s) very little. In the end the mean is all that anyone cares about, along with other associated analysis, but I woundered. -The errors in half the case ( say around 30 points in all across 22,000 or 20,000 points) are just the mean of the previous and next point but with a negative sign? In the other half they are always numbers very close to zero (ex: 0.002484890) with the prior or next point around say 30-40. -The models dont show any wierdness if I print out the pdb for those frames in VMD, so do not know where the error is. I dont know if its a spring effect, which I assume not if the force is constant, as the pull force is artificial, but I could see it causing a spring effect if the protein(s) one tries to pull apart are strongly bound together (ie say force equivalent in some way to the pull force applied). Pretty much thats about it. Stephan Lloyd Watkins Original-Nachricht Datum: Fri, 20 Apr 2012 07:35:42 -0400 Von: Justin A.

Re: [gmx-users] Re: Data Analysis
This sounds to me like a periodicity issue. Were these runs conducted with pull_geometry = distance? If so, were the COM distances always less than half of the box vector along the restrained dimension(s)? Are you running with NPT? If the answer to any or all of these is yes, then you could have a problem with the pull algorithm failing due to periodicity. The sign changes might account for that. You wouldn't see any weird periodic jumps, but the size of the box and the COM distance at the instance of the sign/magnitude change would coincide. Merci, As the swiss say. At the very end one or two amino acids look out of the box into the botomn again in 1 run especially. A mean is only as good as the error associated with it. No error estimate, no confidence in the value. Well I trust the results except one or two points. The means stay the same between the mentioned points, but the STDDEV and STD error double, as it is 2000 points or so, it just looks like a smooth curve with a linear (really leanear) spike. I dont thinks its that big an issue though comparativly, as one does not loose the overall curve reguardless. Thanks for your advice, suggestions and knowledge base.

In your case you should have the y-coordinate of the COM of the reference, and dY, which represents the distance between the two groups along the y-axis only. These values should be easy to confirm with g_traj and g_dist. My pullx.xvg file, as I think I mentioned, prints the refernce coordinates and the coordinates of the COM of the pulled group.

Can somone compile something that way, or is it some bug or maybe just something to do with the N Y N vs. N N Y pulling? The content of pullx.xvg (according to the headers and the explanations I have seen) is indeed the COM of the reference and dY, not the coordinate(s) of the pulled group. Does g_dist contradict these assertions?

The time step is small because of the small molecule involved, however I painstakingly looked up all parameters ten times. Basically its only violation was with links, which seems to think S-O---H isnt supposed to roatate so much, but the molecules degrees of freedom (1/2 can rotate 360 from the other along a central axis) etc... PR p-coupling is poor for stability during equilibration (since gen_vel = yes), and it's always poor to start your production run (i.e. your pulling) without prior equilibration. Equilibrate with berendsen, then switch to PR for a bit and only then worry about pulling. I had woundered as I always have to throw out the first 2 picosecounds about the init velocity. I did equilibrate each first untill there was no change with bereendsen and nose-hoover, so from my mistake thats what I have had to do for the data. Is there any other critiques, as I COULD USE THEM. Aside, I have a wierd problem where WHAM reads 1 file then not the next. Then, I use as mentioned a text editor and it reads 2 different files for input, but not the others that had worked. I cant figure out why it reads one say with tabs spacing, and the next with 2 bar spaces, and the next with only bar space 1? In the end I can find one or two differences in emacs or editors, but then the final .xvg files all have different spacing as above and then I cant read all of them in to get the proper weighted scores?
