Re: [gmx-users] coenzyme-protein complex

Dear Justin

My final .xtc rmsd graph starts about 4 nm and after 
some steps it falls down to 0.3 and quickly goes up again, totally it is
 tossing around a straight line near 4 nm, what did I do wrong? As  mentioned 
in my previous mail about centering of protein inside the box, the gro file was 
attached. The 
rmsd graph and gro files are uploaded at the following links:

 Without seeing exactly what you've tried, it's rather futile to try to guess 
 what to suggest.  Complexes are difficult to deal with.  The first step 
 should 
 almost always be trjconv -pbc nojump, but further iterations may vary.  See 
 http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Terminology/Periodic_Boundary_Conditions#Suggested_trjconv_workflow
  
 and also be aware that you can (and should, in many cases) use custom index 
 groups for centering or other fitting, i.e. some residues at the 
 protein-protein 
 interface or something else that makes sense.  Centering on protein 
 normally 
 fails in such cases, for reasons discussed repeatedly in the list archive.

[gmx-users] pbc problem

2014-02-02 Thread Atila Petrosian
Dear Justin and Tsjerk

you said  Some tools handle PBC properly, some don't .

I want to know exactly which tools of gromacs handle PBC properly.

Can I find these tools in manual?

I did simulation of a system containing protein and cnt using gromacs 4.5.6.

When I see trajectory by VMD, in some frames, protein atoms exit one side
of box
and enter opposite side of box. I want to do analysis of trajectory. I do
not know
exactly this state is pbc problem or not.

Any help will highly appreciated

No, because it's not possible to test every single command that the user might 
issue and keep a reliable database of such information.

Again, that depends entirely upon the command you're using.  Tools like g_rms 
have problems when molecules are split across PBC.  Other tools like g_dist or 
g_msd handle the situation better.  If the protein is the only problematic 
molecule, it should be rather trivial to fix the PBC issues with trjconv 
-center, trjconv -pbc nojump, trjconv -pbc mol -ur compact, or trjconv -fit 
translation, or perhaps some sequence of those.  Please refer to the PBC link I 
have posted several times this week.

[gmx-users] Bond interaction exclusions

2014-02-02 Thread Xu Dong Huang
Dear all,

I am unclear about the bond exclusion properties within gromacs. Using a 
martini model system, what is the default behavior of setting 
[moleculetype]
;name   exclusions
eth  1

exclusions to 1? How do I find out what kind of interaction it is excluding? I 
am interested in finding out if this is excluding 1-3 interaction or 1-4 
interaction. I guess what I also want to know is if my settings are including 
1-4 bonded interactions or using only 1-3. 

Please let me know,

thank you.

The value of nrexcl is the number of bonded neighbors that are excluded from 
nonbonded interactions.  With nrexcl = 1, only 1-2 interactions are excluded; 
1-3 and 1-4 interactions are calculated as normal nonbonded interactions.

Re: [gmx-users] Bond interaction exclusions

2014-02-02 Thread XAvier Periole

Hi, 

The first line eth1 tells it all. In that molecule all non-bonded 
interactions between first bonded neighbors will be excluded. 

Thus the 1-3, 1-4 (and so on) non-bonded interactions will be included. You may 
add additional exclusions in the [ exclusion ] section of your topology. 

I am not sure what you mean with 1-4 bonded interactions but if you mean 
non-bonded then see above.

 Now, I'd like to make selection switch for this new NBF selection.
 I'd tried to modify the include/types/enums.h NBFselection line from

 to
 enum {

 . i.e., simply add a new selection (eNBF_WCA) and shift eNBF_NR.
 However, only this modification resulted in secgentation error in
 grompp execution.
 Does anone know how to add a new NBF selection correctly?

grompp will produce slightly different output to the terminal, but this is
not really what you want.


 I am interested in finding out if this is excluding 1-3 interaction or 1-4

Only by inspecting the contents of the .tpr can you really know what is
going on. You can compare two .tpr files with gmxcheck, but for your own
sanity, I would construct a very simple input file (e.g. ethane) before
attempting this.

 hi, i am new to gromacs. i was trying simulate multiple (eg. 3 or 4 )

 2.  Generate the gro and hence the topology file using the forecfield

 3.  Run the mdrun program.
 I was wondering if there is anything wrong with this procedure.
 (I saw the posts for simulating multiple proteins in a single box and found
 it suggests simulating different proteins separately and then creating
 their
 topology files, converting them into .itp and then running the simulation)


For grompp, you need a topology that matches your input coordinates. How to
generate each depends very much on the contents of the system, because
different tools are available for proteins vs things like nanotubes. Those
posts were probably referring to using pdb2gmx to generate topologies for
each protein that could then be merged. You may not have that problem.

Also I am having some problems with the bonds. Whenever the CNTs are a
 little bit close[not too close to create a bond in between them], some
 unwanted bonds between two CNTs are created.
 it would be very nice if anyone could help me solve this problem.


Maybe it's not a problem. See

Re: [gmx-users] Replica Exchange MD

2014-02-02 Thread bharat gupta
Dear GMX Users,

I am trying to apply the REMD to study the difference between the folding
free energy  of a 24 residue peptide with two different conformations. As I
am short of required number of processors for REMD in explicit water, I am
trying my luck with implicit solvent. I have come across many papers that
have used implicit solvent in their simulation studies. So, after various
trails of temp. distributions, I selected some 15 replicas with the
following temp. range:

Repl  0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 910
11121314
Repl  T 250.0 264.0 279.0 295.0 312.0 329.0 348.0 367.0 388.0 410.0 433.0
458.0 484.0 511.0 540.0
Repl
Repl  exchange interval: 1000

Here's the result for a trial run of 2ns per replica:

Replica exchange statistics
Repl  999 attempts, 500 odd, 499 even
Repl  average probabilities:
Repl 0123456789   10   11   12
13   14
Repl  .34  .34  .21  .27  .39  .41  .40  .37  .41  .42  .41  .43  .46
.44
Repl  number of exchanges:
Repl 0123456789   10   11   12
13   14
Repl  166  155  116  130  184  201  193  185  212  216  200  208  223
225
Repl  average number of exchanges:
Repl 0123456789   10   11   12

Repl  .33  .31  .23  .26  .37  .40  .39  .37  .42  .43  .40  .42  .45
.45

The average exchange ratio for each replica lies between 0.3-0.4. Is it
okay ? . As the value between 0.2-0.3 is considered to be good.

Here's the graph for replica_index , replica_temp and PE of replicas.

I want to know whether, I can move forward with the large production runs
or not ??
