Re: [gmx-users] Unrealistic behaviour of water on graphene [NVT]
Hi Kester, Do you have experimental data on the behaviour of 2000 or 6000 or 1 water molecules on a sheet of graphene? Do you _know_ it's wrong behaviour? If yes, then, given that the water forms a droplet in vacuum, even if above the graphene sheet, you know the water behaviour itself is sort of correct. I would be most suspicious of the water-graphene interactions. Where did those parameters come from? Do they account for increased electron density above the plane because of all the pi-orbitals?

Re: [gmx-users] Unrealistic behaviour of water on graphene [NVT]
Hi Tsjerk, Do you have experimental data on the behaviour of 2000 or 6000 or 1 water molecules on a sheet of graphene? There are experimental and theoretical data that describe the contact angle of water on graphene. Current experimental data of water droplets on a sheet of graphene can be found in the work byRafiee et al., Nature Materials Vol. 11 217-222 (2012), Li et al., Nature Materials Vol. 12 925-931(2013), and Zhou et al., Phys. Rev. B 85, 035406 (2012).Theoretical calculations of the 2000, 6000, and 10,000 molecules have also been reported by Shih et al., Nature Materials (Commentary) Vol. 12 866-869 (2013),Shih et al., PRL 109, 176101 (2012),and Taherian et al., Langmuir 29, 1457-1465 (2013), just to name a few. Do you _know_ it's wrong behaviour?Since I am new to gromacs calculations, I am afraid I do not know what went wrong with the calculation. Either the effect of polarisation makes the surface superhydrophilic, or the neighbouring interaction prevents water from forming a droplet.Water should, however, form a droplet on the surface. If yes, then, given that the water forms a droplet in vacuum, even if above the graphene sheet, you know the water behaviour itself is sort of correct. I would be most suspicious of the water-graphene interactions. Where did those parameters come from?GRAPPA force field (Hughes et al., Nanoscale 6, 5438-5448 (2014)) was developed based on CHARMM FF, where the FF parameters were obtained through first deriving a set of C-C parameters, following by the parameters of different oxygen-containing species.Another similar polarisable FF was also recently developed based on OPLS/AA by Schyman and Jorgensen, J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 4, 468-474 (2013). Do they account for increased electron density above the plane because of all the pi-orbitals?I am not absolutely certain that the pi-orbitals were accounted for, however, the authors have described that GRAPPA can capture the overlap of pi-electron cloud between residue and graphene surface.Regards,Kester Do you have experimental data on the behaviour of 2000 or 6000 or 1 water molecules on a sheet of graphene?

[gmx-users] changing the viscosity of water in a simulation
Hello, I am a newbie to MD simulation. We are working in the direction of finding the molecular origin of internal friction of protein folding. For this we have to run folding simulations at different solvent viscosity and plot protein reconfiguration time against solvent viscosity. Currently, we have been using TIP3P water molecules for simulations run on GROMACS 4.5.6. I wwill be highly grateful if someone tells me how to change the viscosity of water.

Re: [gmx-users] GPU and MPI
You may want to try other settings between 4x6 and 24x1 too, e.g. 12x2 or 6x4 - especially if you have a dual-socket 6-core machine with HyperThreading. In my experience, using as many ranks as hardware threads with HT in GPU runs results in big slowdown compared to either not using HT (i.e. 12x1) or using 2 threads/rank (12x2).

[gmx-users] How to mearg Ligand protein and Lipid
Hello All I am trying to perform MD for protein ligand protein complex in popc lipid with charmm36 force field and also follow Justin A. Lemkul tutorial. I also wanted to ask that while create special index groups consisting of solvent + ions and protein + lipids using make_ndx if i am having a system with ligand molecule also then should I add it with protein lipid complex or add it separately with protein like 16 | 14 to merge the SOL and CL groups 1 | 13 | to merge Protein and POPC groups and 1 | 12 to merge Protein and LIGAND groups or I can add them like 1 | 12 | 13 to merge Protein and LIGAND and POPC groups With Regards Neha bharty -- Gromacs Users mailing list * Please search the archive at http://www.gromacs.org/Support/Mailing_Lists/GMX-Users_List before posting! * Can't post?

We are working in the direction of finding the molecular origin of internal friction of protein folding. For this we have to run folding simulations at different solvent viscosity and plot protein reconfiguration time against solvent viscosity. Currently, we have been using TIP3P water molecules for simulations run on GROMACS 4.5.6. I wwill be highly grateful if someone tells me how to change the viscosity of water.
