[gmx-users] Separate removal of COM motion

2018-01-16 Thread R

Dear all
I am involved in a project where the target systems are lipid bilayers 
with and without different macromolecules embedded. In the past I did 
quite a lot of MD simulations of membrane systems always removing the 
COM motion of lipids and the solvent in separate groups. There are 
several discussions about this in the gmx users list (see for instance: 
https://mailman-1.sys.kth.se/pipermail/gromacs.org_gmx-users/2016-September/108590.html) 
but I do not understand clearly the reason to do this. I am very 
interesting in determining diffusion coefficients, so the right removal 
of COM is key for my analysis. Can anyone explain why the global removal 
of COM for all the system might produce a lateral relative displacement 
of the bilayer with respect to the solvent in opposite directions (thus 
keeping the COM)? Is it guaranteed that this is solved by removing the 
COM separately for lipids and the solvent? When I have macromolecules 
embedded in the membrane, should I remove the COM of the macromolecules 
together with the lipids?


Thank you in advance for any help,

Ángel.

Re: [gmx-users] Electron density using g_density

Thanks, Justin.

I will as you recommended.
The last approach was described in a book chapter for bilayer simulation.
I had difficulty to justify that approach.

Cheers,

In some publications, it seems the authors just took the atomic number as

The code accounts for the partial charges (see calc_electron_density() 
in gmx_density.cpp). You should specify the number of electrons on the 
elemental form of the atom. One cannot ascribe the entire +1 charge to N 
or -1 to P, anyway, so that's a false approach.

There is no meaningful comparison that can be made between any 
parameters in different force fields. They all use different 
parametrization conventions, and in this case you're looking at AMBER 
(all-atom) vs. GROMOS (united-atom) and therefore aspects of the atoms 
themselves will be different (e.g. heavier masses on aliphatic C in GROMOS).



I dont know what should I do

I m confused, in gromos

define gb_17   0.148.5400E+6

8.54 e 6 is force constant for stretch bond and dimention is kj/(mol nm^2), am 
I right?


No; GROMOS uses a quartic bond potential. See the manual and the 
discussion on this topic from yesterday.



then we can conclude that if I want to determine force constant , I must select 
these constant wwith respect to force field ,

I cant say these constants are same every where.rigth?

is the dimention of constant kj/(mol nm^2) every where in gromacs, such as .itp 
files of force field, itp files that we receive form ATB and so on?

any suggestion will be appreciated


If you need to develop new parameters or validate ones you have, you 
need to follow the methodology prescribed by the force field you're 
trying to use. For bonded force constants, this typically requires a QM 
vibrational frequency calculation and empirical fitting to reproduce the 
vibrational modes.

Hi Justin,
Thank you very much.


So I tried:

So my understanding is

Thank you for that.


But may I ask
1) if it is possible to calculate the fraction for a particular group in this

(sasa of the state in the xtc file)/(sasa when that group is fully unfolded)
Because a big buried residue may have similar sasa compared to a small exposed

Strictly speaking, no, because you have artificial edges of that residue 
created by ignoring the fact that there are always residues flanking it. 
And you also have no guarantee that even in an "unfolded" state that 
this residue is 100% exposed to solvent. As an approximation, sure, but 
there is some level of error that may range from negligible to 
considerable, depending entirely upon the unfolded ensemble.

using "gmx sasa"?



Hi Justin, thank you very much.


Sorry I still do not fully understand. I have an index file, in which the group 
0 is all the residue atoms of the protein, group 1 is the first residue atoms. 
I want to calculate the sasa fraction of the residue 1. The fraction means: the 
sasa at folded state divided by the sasa when the residue is fully unfolded.


So as you said, "two selections, one for the surface, the other for what is 
output". 
) The manual says: "-surface should always consist of all non-solvent atoms in 
the system", so in my case it should be group 0, right?
) The manual also says: "-output can specify additional selections, which 
should be subsets of the calculation group", so in my case, it should be group 
1, right?


so I tried:
echo 0 1|gmx sasa -f md_0_1.xtc -s md_0_1.tpr -n index_C226S.ndx -o area.xvg 
-tu ns -surface -output


And got error message:
Error in user input:
Invalid selection '0 1 '
  Near '1'
syntax error



I also tried "echo 1 0", and got the similar error:
Error in user input:
Invalid selection '1 0 '
  Near '0'
syntax error



Can you please help me? Thank you very much!

Dear Gromacs,
This website can give us the Q(SASA), i.e. the fraction of SASA per residue, 
with values from 0 to 1.
https://mathbio.crick.ac.uk/wiki/POPS


Can I ask if we can use "gmx sasa" to obtain similar information? I do not like 
the "absolute" sasa, as it could not reflect the relative exposure extent of a 
residue. For example, a buried big residue may have similar sasa as an exposed 
small residue.


Thank you.


Yours sincerely

Re: [gmx-users] six member ring won't stay flat

Hi Justin,

I got the itp and parameters of my side chain modified amino acid from
CHARMM-GUI and incorporated it into my protein structure, labeled with
HETATM. I made the atom types names consistent with charmm forcefield which
I used with gromacs and made sure overall the parameters look decent for
now. After some fixing the grompp would run with no warnings, and I did a
quick energy minimization, but ended up with a distorted six member ring. I
have the picture and my parameters attached. Your time is appreciated :)

You have a number of problems. If that's simply pyridoxal phosphate 
linked with lysine, then you have lots of missing H atoms and the 
protonation state of your phosphate group is incorrect, at least with 
respect to normal physiological pH. You're getting a lot of distortion 
from a lot of places, not the least of which is that you should have a 
methyl group attached to the ring, not a methylene (=CH2), as that 
changes the conjugation entirely.


Also, as I said before - *do not* mix CGenFF and standard CHARMM 
parameters. You can't just change around atom types until grompp 
warnings go away. What you're seeking to do is complicated and requires 
great care, otherwise you get garbage. There's no magic push-button 
here. You've got to do a thorough parametrization, including all the 
things I said before. Anything short of that, in this instance, is 
likely to fail. You can take initial guess charges from existing groups 
in CHARMM, without even going to CGenFF, as most of those groups should 
already be well described.

gmx sasa will compute the SASA of the chosen atoms in the supplied 
configuration(s). If you want to do further manipulations, you'll have 
to script that yourself as a post-processing task.




2) When I do not use -surface and -output, but use echo:

It should be labeled in the header of the output file, but it's the SASA 
of the chosen group of atoms, in this instance assuming that the entire 
group is solvent-exposed (because you're not computing a full surface 
here, just the SASA of the chosen atoms).

Checkpoint restarts are not supported between major version changes (we
need the ability to change the format more than users need the ability to
extend seamlessly). Otherwise, you can use gmx grompp and/or gmx
convert-tpr as normal to extend simulations. See the user guide of e.g. the
2018 documentation for some examples.

Re: [gmx-users] NVML library in CUDA 9 & Gromacs 2018

2018-01-16 Thread Mark Abraham
Hi,

The default changed in GROMACS 2018 - even if NVML is found, we do not link
with it by default. Use cmake -DGMX_USE_NVML=on. Be advised that you may
need to take care that the nvml library found at run time is compatible
with the CUDA version used at compilation time. That can be non-trivial to
automate, so we have left that issue to users who have the desire and
ability to change the clocks (generally requires root privilege / sysadmin
approval).

Re: [gmx-users] rlist

2018-01-16 Thread Mark Abraham
Hi,

That depends on what model you want to implement - rlist sets the radius
within which particles/groups will be placed in the neighbour list. There's
further requirements based on the other elements of the simulation with
which it has to interact, so for user tables, the group scheme is needed,
which means you won't have both an efficient simulation and a buffered list.

If you're still trying to implement hard spheres with GROMACS, then as (I
think) I've said before, you should consider alternative software (not that
I have any insight about what might work better).

Re: [gmx-users] six member ring won't stay flat

2018-01-16 Thread Mark Abraham
Hi,

You still have many sources of problems (e.g. the warnings you suppressed,
the fact that your ring's atoms interact with an environment). What happens
when you minimize a capped peptide in vacuo?

Hi Justin,

I got the itp and parameters of my side chain modified amino acid from
CHARMM-GUI and incorporated it into my protein structure, labeled with
HETATM. I made the atom types names consistent with charmm forcefield which
I used with gromacs and made sure overall the parameters look decent for
now. After some fixing the grompp would run with no warnings, and I did a
quick energy minimization, but ended up with a distorted six member ring. I
have the picture and my parameters attached. Your time is appreciated :)

I provided the appropriate syntax before:

-select and -output take strings that select what you want for each. Do

Hi Justin, thank you very much.


Sorry I still do not fully understand. I have an index file, in which the group 
0 is all the residue atoms of the protein, group 1 is the first residue atoms. 
I want to calculate the sasa fraction of the residue 1. The fraction means: the 
sasa at folded state divided by the sasa when the residue is fully unfolded.


So as you said, "two selections, one for the surface, the other for what is 
output".
) The manual says: "-surface should always consist of all non-solvent atoms in the 
system", so in my case it should be group 0, right?
) The manual also says: "-output can specify additional selections, which should be 
subsets of the calculation group", so in my case, it should be group 1, right?


so I tried:
echo 0 1|gmx sasa -f md_0_1.xtc -s md_0_1.tpr -n index_C226S.ndx -o area.xvg 
-tu ns -surface -output


And got error message:

I also tried "echo 1 0", and got the similar error:

Dear Gromacs,
This website can give us the Q(SASA), i.e. the fraction of SASA per residue, 
with values from 0 to 1.
https://mathbio.crick.ac.uk/wiki/POPS


Can I ask if we can use "gmx sasa" to obtain similar information? I do not like the 
"absolute" sasa, as it could not reflect the relative exposure extent of a residue. For 
example, a buried big residue may have similar sasa as an exposed small residue.


Thank you.
