[gmx-users] free energy calculations
Dear Gromac's users, I'd like to perform a FEP calculations. I've done yours tutorial and now follow by it, i'd like to perform my calculations for small molecule in water. I got a problem: Fatal error: No such moleculetype SOL I don't know what it means in these cases, because both files are similar to each other (yours and mine). Co you have any idea? thank you in advance, Marta -- Gromacs Users mailing list * Please search the archive at http://www.gromacs.org/Support/Mailing_Lists/GMX-Users_List before posting! * Can't post?

Two proteins? Two water molecules? Big difference. -Justin -- == Justin A. Lemkul, Ph.D. Ruth L.

[gmx-users] error about x of the xxx bonded interactions could not be calculated ....
Dear Gromacs Users, I am simulating coarse grained polymer systems with tabulated potential (A B C D types). To obtain pair potentials, Iterative Boltzmann Inversion is used with Gromacs. After 14 step (each step runs 1 ns (100) with time step 1 fs - 0.001), the simulation had failed with the following error. x of xxx bonded interactions could not be calculated It sounds like Blowing Up problem. Therefore, I reduced the time step to 0.0008 (0.8 fs), then the simulation failed at 164 step. I do not think that I started 1) a bad structure due to I equilibrated for 120 ns at atomistic level, 2) inappropriate pressure coupling because I use NVT ensemble. I am not sure what the following tip is in the gromacs website. "*your position restraints are to coordinates too different from those present in the system,*" I am using gromacs 5.0.8-dev-20151014-1f04b58 Do you have any advice for solving this problem? I still keep decreasing the time step now at 0.0006. Thank you.

Hi, You should verify that your tables implement the model you think they do. Use http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/How-tos/Single-Point_Energy calculations on two-particle systems to verify you can reproduce trivial energies and forces.

Dear Mark Abraham, Thank you for your advice. When I did "mdrun -s topol.tpr -rerun conf.gro", the following warnings are present. Do you think that this is the problem? I have two tabulated bond potentials (A-B, C-D) and two tabulated angle potentials (A-B-A, C-D-C). As you can see, the only table_b1.xvg produced the warnings. Does this mean that table_b1.xvg (A-B bonded potential) led the simulation failure somehow? Thank you.

[gmx-users] Heat capacity (C_{v}) for a solid
Dear Gromacs user, I am trying to calculate the heat capacity at constant volume (C_{v}) in different temperature for a solid structure with "A_{3}B" chemical formula. To do so, I made a big supercell containing totally "43904" atom by keeping the rate (#A = 32928 and #B=10976), below is a part of my topology file. topol.top: - [ moleculetype ] ; Namenrexcl A 1 [ moleculetype ] ; Namenrexcl B1 [ molecules ] ;mol_name number A32928 B 10976 - After convergence of the MD simulation I invoked the below command: "gmx energy -f case.edr -nmol 43904 -fluct_props -o case.xvg" My first question: what exactly I should use as "-nmol" in this specific case as explained above? If it is (#A) or (#B) or (#A+#B)? Second question: I was wondering if the Cv printed out in screen after choosing "Total Energy" and "Temperature" in gmx energy is relabel? At least in this level as I know the Quantum part has not been included yet. Or I have to do the temperature numerical derivation of Total energy myself as Cv=d(U)/d(T). WARNING: Please verify that your simulations are converged and perform a block-averaging error analysis (not implemented in g_energy yet) Heat capacity at constant volume Cv =200.779 J/mol K. Third question: If this is Molar heat capacity, am I right? The last: Below are the result of Cv in different temperature for this system: (Cv J/mol K) - (Temperature K) 37037.700 10 200.779 50 40.497 75 124.360 100 321.416 150 620.247 298 I know these Cv do not include any corrections for quantum yet, but still I am puzzled about the strange behavior of Cv versus temperature, I would be so thankful if one could explain it for me.

[gmx-users] adding water with genbox
Hi, I am using gromacs 4.6, so I still use genbox to solvate the protein I’m simulating. How does genbox adjust the density? I am trying to pack water molecules in a tight protein unit cell, and genbox is having problems packing enough water molecules for the water density to be ~1g/cm^3. If I modify vdwradii.dat to shrink the radii a little bit, does that affect the maximum density that the solvent can have? In other words, will genbox add as many water molecules as it can if the radii are small enough, or will it stop when d=1g/cm^3?
