You've got a considerable number of data points wherein the periodic image 
distance is less than the longest cutoff, so I don't think you can simply shrug 
this off.  The data were influenced by spurious interactions.  Watch the 
trajectory, see what's happening during this period, and accommodate for such 
events in a new simulation based on what you learn.

[gmx-users] MD - analysis

2011-06-13 Thread Kavyashree M
Dear users,

While analyzing an MD simulation run for 100ns, for temperature,
pressure, volume and density, I got an output like this -

Energy  Average   Err.Est.   RMSD  Tot-Drift
---
Temperature 300  9e-05   -nan -0.000501989  (K)

Energy  Average   Err.Est.   RMSD  Tot-Drift
---
Pressure0.99914  0.027   -nan  0.0174391  (bar)

Energy  Average   Err.Est.   RMSD  Tot-Drift
---
Volume  517.755 0.0094   -nan   0.010871  (nm^3)

Energy  Average   Err.Est.   RMSD  Tot-Drift
---
Density 1012.53  0.018   -nan -0.0216399
(kg/m^3)

Why is nan being shown for RMSD?
when I checked the rmsd plot for the backbone, it had equilibrated 6ns,
later on there were fluctuations.

When I observed the trajectory in ngmx, after some time the protein molecule
(the system consistes of 1 intact protein chain in water with few ions to
neutralize
the charge) appeared fragmented. when I used the command
trjconv -s protein.tpr -f traj.xtc -o traj_atom.xtc  -pbc nojump
the entire molecule was intact throughout the simulation but was going out
of the
box.

I had used dodecahedron cell for simulation this option was not present in
gnmx-
box display options. Does the type of box selected in ngmx has effect on
whether
molecule is inside the box or outside?

What I need to do to keep the molecule in the box and completely inside the
box?
(I tried with -pbc options atom, res, mol - protein was in fragments in all
of them)

How can I visualize a dodecahedron box in ngmx?

Thanking you
With Regards
M. Kavyashree
