[gmx-users] Peptide-membrane simulation force field parameters
Dear All, I need a suggestion related to simulation of peptide-membrane system. Are CGenFF parameters (from ParamChem) for peptide analogues good enough to couple with Charmm36 parameters for the lipids in a membrane? (provided very low charge and param penalties) Thanks, Tarak -- 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] Virtual sites and diffusion coefficients.
Hello Mark, I have tested both models in simulating a variety of properties. The original parametrization results involved predicting the critical point of CO2 and also density at various P and T. I did several NVT simulations to predict density-vs-pressure data. In this case the model with virtual interaction sites gave much better results. In addition to this, simulations performed were performed on pure CO2 at supercritical conditions and mean square displacement was calculated for the CO2 molecule. When compared to the reported ab initio dynamics results the one obtained using virtual sites gave much better agreement. The density of CO2 dissolved in H2O at very dilute concentrations was also studied using both models of CO2 and the results were in good agreement with experimental data for the model with virtual sites. In this case the one without virtual sites also did reasonably well. However, the disparity appears when considering the Measn Square displacement of dilute CO2 solution in water. Here the model without virtual sites is closer to the experimental data. This has become very confusing now. The original parametrization of he model did not involve predicting the transport properties. Also in the published results using the EPM2 model I don't find any mention of the virtual interaction sites. Regards, Sujith.

[gmx-users] REMD: mdrun_mpi crash with segmentation fault (but mpi is working)
Hi, I trying to learn REMD following the tutorial on gromacs page http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Tutorials/GROMACS_USA_Workshop_and_Conference_2013/An_introduction_to_replica_exchange_simulations%3A_Mark_Abraham,_Session_1B on a 4-cores computer. However when I try to use the command: mpirun -np 4 mdrun_mpi -v -multidir equil[0123] (as the tutorial says) the program crashed with the following error: mpirun noticed that process rank 2 with PID 13013 on node debian exited on signal 11 (Segmentation fault). The mpi is running fine with the 4 cores if I run a simple gromacs simulation (NPT equil) in the same machine. So I think it is not a problem of mpi configuration (as I read in another thread) These with gromacs version is 5.0.2 If I try to run the same with an older version of gromacs (4.5.5) the error is different (previously adjusting the options on the mdp file to match changes in syntaxis betweeen versions): [debian:23526] *** An error occurred in MPI_comm_size [debian:23526] *** on communicator MPI_COMM_WORLD [debian:23526] *** MPI_ERR_COMM: invalid communicator [debian:23526] *** MPI_ERRORS_ARE_FATAL (your MPI job will now abort) But this version also work fine with mpi using the 4 cores on a simple simulation Thanks Bye Felipe Villanelo Lizana Bioquímico Laboratorio de Biología Estructural y Molecular Universidad de Chile -- Gromacs Users mailing list * Please search the archive at http://www.gromacs.org/Support/Mailing_Lists/GMX-Users_List before posting! * Can't post?

[gmx-users] Using pairs type 2
Hey all, I have been reading many post about this issue, but still do not have a clear answer. I am using the AMBER force-field where 1-4 interactions are scaled (fudgeLJ = 0.5 and fudgeQQ = 0.8333). In addition I use parameters of molecules that require the 1-4 interaction to NOT be scaled. What I did to solve this issue is the follwoing: In the molecules *itp file I listed all 1-4 interactions explicitly. I used the pairs type 2, as in here: [ pairs ] 1 14 2 1 0.161 0.175 0.339967 0.457730 As you can see, I use fudgeQQ=1, with the Real charges, and the needed LJ parameters. I think this works properly, and that it is equivalent (for the molecule of interest) to use type 1 with no explicit parameters (that will be accordingly generated from ffnonbonded.itp), along with a forcefield.itp that sets the fudge factors to 1.0. What worries me is that the manual says type 2 is used for free energy simulations and TI. Can I still use it as mentioned above? Am I missing something?
