Re: [gmx-users] Re: rotational correlation function

2010-09-24 Thread Paymon Pirzadeh
OK, To summurize:

1. I calculate the Ctot(t) with g_rotacf using N-H index files.

2. Use trjconv to get a trajectory of internal motions. 
= How I get the Cint(t)??? 

3. Crot = Ctot/Cint

But, is there any way to calculate the Crot(t) directly? Is trjconv the
solution again?
regards,

Paymon

  Hey, Paymon -
 
  Do you mean the correlation function of the velocity (VACF)? Why not
  to use g_velacc and g_rotacf for translational and rotational VACFs? I
  suppose, your molecule is rigid (enough) for rotational velocoty to
  make sense.

No and no.
Maybe when you use the -debug option to trjconv it spits out the 
rotation matrix but I'm not sure.


Anyway you need to start trying things out from here.

 You can do the reverse by fitting trjconv -fit rot+trans this will give 
 you a protein with no overall rotation+translation from which you can 
 derive the order parameters and relaxation times of individual NH vectors.

  Hello,
  Imagine if the total correlation function of a protein could be
  factorized into rotational and internal portions:
  Ctot(t)=Crot(t)*Cint(t). With which commands I can calculate the Ctot(t)
  and with which I can get the Crot(t)? Does g_rotacf produce the Crot(t)?
  What does the g_rms -fit do? I am confused on how I can use gromacs
  commands on my output files. Sorry for mass of e-mails.

  Hey, Paymon -
 
  Do you mean the correlation function of the velocity (VACF)? Why not
  to use g_velacc and g_rotacf for translational and rotational VACFs? I
  suppose, your molecule is rigid (enough) for rotational velocoty to
  make sense.

Great tips and advices. I appreciate your attention.
But, what would the g_rms -fit rot+trans  do?


compute the rmsd. something different. I said trjconv.

Dear Dr. van der Spoel,
Thanks a lot for your clarification. But some questions yet:

1. If I do not provide the -aver option, will the program calculate
the C(t) for individual N-H bond?


Yes.


2. In a paper that I just read, JCP vol. 131 155103 (2009),  they claim
they have calculated the Ctot(t) which could be factorized into
rotational and internal components, Ctot(t)=Crot(t)*Cint(t). I assume
g_rotacf gives the rotational part. How one can calculate the Ctot(t)
(they claim they calculatetd the Ctot and Crot with GROMACS utilities)?
How can we generate the rotation matrix (omega(t)) and use it? What's
the use of -fitfn? Is it sth that could be done in other data
processing softwares?

If your sim is long enough (10-20 times the rotation time, which for a
small protein is on the order of a couple of ns) you can fit all the
individual NH -acfs to two exponentials, 1 for the NH relaxation and one
for the overall.



3. How can we generate a trajectory with no internal motions? Does it
have anything to do with g_rms?

You can do the reverse by fitting trjconv -fit rot+trans this will give
you a protein with no overall rotation+translation from which you can
derive the order parameters and relaxation times of individual NH vectors.

2010-09-22 Thread Vitaly Chaban
Hmm... Rotational time..? If you need diffusion constant, just use
g_rotacf and then integrate the resulting VACF. If I recall correctly,
you should make an index file with three numbers to define two vectors
for the calculation.
