[gmx-users] How do you print positions in double precision
Hi, I have gone through the procedure of installing version 5.0 in double precision with CMAKE, however the positions are still printing in single precision mode. I need the extra precision to calculate dipole correlation function for confined water system, anybody run into this precision issue?

You can get around it, though, by using tpbconv (gmx convert-tpr in 5.0) to extract just backbone atoms from both .tpr files and trajectories. If you don't, g_rms will complain about mismatching atom numbers or you will be mapping the wrong atoms in the trajectory since the two proteins have different numbers of atoms. Also note that g_rmsf is probably useful here, too, as you can get per-residue fluctuations and RMSD. -Justin This is what I had thought - I'll definitely try using tpbconv to fit the backbones and look into changes. Though some of the changes I am interested in are the sidechain movements. I'll definitely try the g_rmsf for this. Thanks so much for all the help! Natalie -- == Justin A. Lemkul, Ph.D. Ruth L.

Besides the model being very crude to begin with, the implementation needs checking as well.

Re: [gmx-users] Energy file ener.edr not recognized, maybe different CPU?
Hi Justin,After some googling, and tweaking with the mdp parameters (step size), I think I have managed to produce the ener.edr and ultimately the ener.xvg files.Anyway, the same problem occured at the same atom each time after an energy minimisation calculation, pointing at the same atom, irregardless of my "emstep".So, I went to my structure(.gro) file and made some changes to the problematic atom (atom 33772) by moving the atomic coordinates of 33772, 33773 and 33774 along the z-direction. I did that because the atom belongs to a water molecule.After that, the "ndx" and "tpr" files were updated.The subsequent energy minimisation based on the amended "gro" file fixed the issue, albeit with further corrections to other atoms/molecules.The confout.gro and ener.edr files were then produced alright.Kester- 원본 메일 -보낸사람 : Kester Wong kester2...@ibs.re.kr받는사람 : gmx-us...@gromacs.org받은날짜 : 2014년 8월 19일(화) 11:57:30제목 : Re: [gmx-users] Energy file ener.edr not recognized, maybe different CPU?Hi Justin,I think I might have used a pretty small Fmax value for my system of 2000+ water molecules.The md.log file reports:Steepest Descents converged to machine precision in 14 steps,but did not reach the requested Fmax 200.Potential Energy = 7.9771407e+19Maximum force = inf on atom 33772Norm of force = infI guess this issue would be corrected using emtol = 1000?Regards,Kester- 원본 메일 -보낸사람 : Justin Lemkul jalem...@vt.edu받는사람 : gmx-us...@gromacs.org받은날짜 : 2014년 8월 19일(화) 01:44:08제목 : Re: [gmx-users] Energy file ener.edr not recognized, maybe different CPU?On 8/18/14, 8:15 AM, Kester Wong wrote: Hi Justin, THanks for the quick reply. I am concerned that it might be the ener.edr file that is fragmented, as the md.log report seem fine. Also, the same problem persisted even when the input files were migrated to a new folder for an energy minimisation calculation. For the second energy minimisation calculation, I even re-generated the system.ndx and topol.tpr files. Are sensible energies reported in the corresponding .log file? A run may "finish" but yield infinite energies if something failed. That can also lead to an incorrect interpretation of .edr contents.

[gmx-users] Calculate RMSD for specific residue.
Dear Gromacs experts, How can I calculate RMSD as a fucntion of time for one residue in my protein? Let's say I have a part of my sequence: ...-Phe-Ala-Ser-CH6-Tyr-Met-Cys-Gly-... . Now I want to get a plot of RMSD versus time for CH6 (my newly introduced residue). I can't find such an option in g_rms and what g_rmsf -od is not what I am interested in or I understood something incorrectly.

Use of index files is not limited to the simulation itself; this is covered quite extensively in the manual. See the first section of Chapter 8 Analysis. Groups are generic constructs that can be used at just about any stage of preparation, simulation, and analysis.

Re: [gmx-users] Most appropriate structure to compare to in g_rms
Hey :) For the fitting that is probably irrelevant. The motions of the side chains at the surface are unlikely to affect the fit, because their mass is small compared to the core of the protein and because there will probably be compensating motions. A better reason for using only the backbone or C-alpha atoms is that it's much cheaper (cost of fitting is linear in the number of atoms) and because it doesn't matter much anyway.

I am performing simulations to determine the effect of mutations on key regions of the protein. I have a crystal structure which I am using as the WT construct, and have performed homology modelling to create the point mutations of interest. I have used g_rms using the Production MD .tpr as the reference to look at the change in movement for key regions of the structure, comparing the degree of movement with the WT and mutated construct. Unfortunately, this does not necessarily tell me about changes occuring, for example, one key region is showing no change in RMSD however is displaced compared to that in the WT. Can you provide your exact command(s) and the groups chosen for fitting and output? The outcome is highly dependent upon proper choices being made. The commands I have been using are: 1. g_rms -s prodMD.tpr -f prodMD.xtc -n index.ndx -tu ns -o prodMD_RMSD.xvg (to compare to equilibrate structure) 2. g_rms -s EM.tpr -f prodMD.xtc -n index.ndx -tu ns -o prodMDtoEM_RMSD.xvg (to compare to crystal structure) In both cases I have been chosing protein for the least square fit and then the specific region for the fit, though I'm not sure this is correct. What is the best way of knowing which is the proper choice for this? Is there any good resources I could access to read up on this? Fitting to the entire protein is a bit uncommon; fitting is almost always done to backbone or C-alpha groups, because for a well-folded protein, the structure should not change a whole lot. If you fit to the whole protein, you're trying to fit against rapidly moving side chains, especially those on the surface whose motions are not necessarily functionally significant and may actually obscure detail. -Justin Would it be better to use the WT EM.tpr as the reference structure for everything (i.e. compare everything to the WT crystal structure)? Obviously these topologies will have slightly different numbers of atoms etc. will this be a problem? This will be a problem. You can get around it, though, by using tpbconv (gmx convert-tpr in 5.0) to extract just backbone atoms from both .tpr files and trajectories. If you don't, g_rms will complain about mismatching atom numbers or you will be mapping the wrong atoms in the trajectory since the two proteins have different numbers of atoms. Also note that g_rmsf is probably useful here, too, as you can get per-residue fluctuations and RMSD. -Justin This is what I had thought - I'll definitely try using tpbconv to fit the backbones and look into changes. Though some of the changes I am interested in are the sidechain movements. I'll definitely try the g_rmsf for this. Thanks so much for all the help! Natalie -- == Justin A. Lemkul, Ph.D. Ruth L.

[gmx-users] Measuring distances between residues and visualising the results
Hello, I am trying to measure the distances between certain residues over the course of my simulation. I have created an index with these residues. So far i have tried using gmx mdmat but since there are only five residues the resulting map consists of 25 large boxes, of different shades, which is not very useful. I have also tried using gmx distance but I am not sure if I am using it correctly. When it prompts me to select the groups do I choose the index group twice? Any suggestions on how to better visualize the gmx_mdmat results or use gmx distance accurately?

The protein and ligand files were merged followed by necessary changes in topology file. 5.

After this, when i am running the command grompp -f minim.mdp -c POPC.gro -p POPC.top -o em_POPC.tpr i am facing the fatal error: ERROR: The cut-off length is longer than half the shortest box vector or longer than the smallest box diagonal element.

Not without either (1) changes to the g_dipoles code or (2) a bit of legwork. In the latter case, you need to generate a topology and .tpr file for the single residue of interest, then extract those coordinates from the trajectory using trjconv, and then run the analysis to fool g_dipoles into thinking you are working with only that molecule. -Justin -- == Justin A.

[gmx-users] CHARMM36 sucrose?
Hi gmx_users, I am trying to run a simulation that includes a sucrose molecule constructed with the CHARMM36 AGLC and BFRU carbohydrate residues. The problem is when I run pbd2gmx with the system, the sucrose molecule splits into a separate glucose and fructose molecules, as if it is splitting a chain. It looks like the is that the residues aren't being recognized as chain molecules with the following warnings: Warning: Warning: Starting residue AGLC0 in chain not identified as Protein/RNA/DNA. Warning: Starting residue BFRU0 in chain not identified as Protein/RNA/DNA. Any known solution to this? I've seen that it might be possible to copy-paste the two units together and make a new residue, but this seems like it might be the wrong direction. -Micholas -- Gromacs Users mailing list * Please search the archive at http://www.gromacs.org/Support/Mailing_Lists/GMX-Users_List before posting! * Can't post?

Re: [gmx-users] Energy drift
Thank you, Mark. I am following this paper: Mutual diffusion coefficients of heptane isomers in nitrogen: A molecular dynamics study (JCP, 2011). They use flexible model, so do I (please check my top and mdp files). Actually I already checked the time step of 0.5fs, and it does not work. Belows are their description for their system: They use the potential parameters I attached for N2, but I am not sure if they assign charges on N atoms. Lennard-Jones 12-6 potential is used to describe interactions between molecules. NVT ensemble and PBC are used, and the cutoff is 18 A. The initial velocities of the molecules were derived from the Boltzmann distribution. The Verlet leapfrog numerical integration algorithm was employed with a time step of 1.0 fs. The total simulation time was 14 ns and the sampling time for the velocity correlation was chosen to be 7 ns for the temperature range considered. The velocities and positions of the molecules were recorded every 50 time steps.
