Re: [gmx-users] Bilayer exploding with semiisotropic coupling

2020-01-04 Thread Paul Bauer
Hello,

please upload the log file from the run, as well as the command you used to
run the simulation and your system specs (processor, whether you are using
GPUs).

Then we can see what is wrong here.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Paul

Re: [gmx-users] Gromacs 2019 - Ryzen Architecture

2020-01-04 Thread Kevin Boyd
Hi,

A few things besides any Ryzen-specific issues. First, your pinoffset for
the second one should be 16, not 17. The way yours is set up, you're
running on cores 0-15, then Gromacs will detect that your second
simulation parameters are invalid (because from cores 17-32, core 32 does
not exist) and turn off core pinning. You can verify that in the log file.

Second, 16 threads per simulation is overkill, and you can get gains from
stealing from GPU down-time by running 2 simulations per GPU. So I would
suggest something like

mdrun -nt 8 -pin on -pinoffset 0 -gpu_id 0 &
mdrun -nt 8 -pin on -pinoffset 8 -gpu_id 0 &
mdrun -nt 8 -pin on -pinoffset 16 -gpu_id 1 &
mdrun -nt 8 -pin on -pinoffset 24 -gpu_id 1

might give you close to optimal performance.

Re: [gmx-users] [gmx-user] Autodock Vina Out use in gromacs MD

2020-01-04 Thread Quin K
Dear Proffesor Lemkul,

I have given below the MD RMSD for complex, and noted that Ligand is
getting detached again. When I viewed the trajectory on VMD it was
confirmed.  The ligand did not abruptly got dislodged instead it slowly
came out of binding pocket and started moving around after.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IBMU-8SzSgXVr_h9zyeVwNV7kQ4at8-S/view?usp=sharing

I know that following CGenFF tutorial and fixing the molecule and
reparameterization would be the correct thing to do however I lack time at
this moment.
I read the paper and went through the tutorial and it's some what of a
complex method to fix the parameters.
I was thinking if I should use a different force-field such as Gromos with
parameterization with ATB server.
I have already submitted the given molecule below for optimization in ATB
and the parameterization is now complete.
Other option is to use Amber force field. Kindly let me know what your
opinion on this.

Molecule

Interactions at binding site us DS Visualizer

Also please let me know if you think the given interactions are enough to
keep the molecule at binding site for like 100ns?

Thank you in Advance!
Kind Regards

Thank you Prof. Lemkul for your kind reply. In mdp file, I will set
comm_grps to "system". But in tc-grps, can I couple capsid with Ca2+ ions?
240 Ca2+ ions are non-covalently attached with the capsid and have
important role in maintaining capsid stability.

I am also planing to run another set of simulation, where RNA is
non-covalently attached with the capsid. In tc-grps, I can couple capsid,
RNA and Ca2+ ions together. I am looking forward for your reply.


Generally solute and solvent are coupled separately, however you define 
what the solute is.

Re: [gmx-users] GROMOS forcefields

2020-01-04 Thread Navneet Kumar
Very informative and interesting. I was using 54a7 forcefield with GROMACS
2018.4. I was confused with mdp parameters. Which version of GROMACS should
I use if I want to employ 54a7 force field?

Another 2018 paper accused GROMACS of being buggy: 
https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.jctc.8b00425 - that study has 
motivated the response from the core GROMACS developers 
(https://chemrxiv.org/articles/On_The_Importance_of_Accurate_Algorithms_for_Reliable_Molecular_Dynamics_Simulations/11474583/1) 
illustrating defects in the physical model used to derive many of the 
the GROMOS parameter sets; it's not a bug in GROMACS that is likely the 
issue.

Hi Shakkira,

In each of the consecutice iterations of the GROMOS force field, a 
reparameterization of the constants was performed in order to reproduce 
experimental data for various molecules (in the case of the GROMOS suite, 
parameterization is mainly fitted to free enthalpy of solvation). For 
GROMOS54a7, the focus was on improving behaviour of amino acids. Older 
iterations of the force field have less parameters, and are in general less

[gmx-users] The pull code

2020-01-04 Thread Majid Rezaei
Dear gromacs users,
I am tryingto make a shear flow in an electrolyte by moving two parallel 
bilayers immersedin the electrolyte in opposite directions. I use the following 
pull code (wherethe groups low and up are the two moving bilayers):
pull = yespull-coord1-type = umbrellapull-coord1-geometry= 
direction-periodicpull-pbc-ref-prev-step-com= yespull-coord1-dim = Y N 
Npull-coord1-vec    = 1 0 0pull-coord1-start  = yespull-ngroups = 
2pull-group1-name = lowpull-group1-pbcatom= 2pull-group2-name = 
uppull-group2-pbcatom= 1202pull-coord1-groups= 1 2pull-coord1-rate   = 0.030 
pull-coord1-k = 500   pull-coord1-init   = 1.3pull-nstxout = 250pull-nstfout = 
250
I expect thevelocity of the bilayers to be ±15 m/s. But the calculated 
velocityprofile shows a velocity of around 5 m/s. I also tried some other rates 
ofchange of the reference position and found that the calculated velocity 
isalways around 3 times less than what I expect. Could you please let me know 
whatis the problem with my code?
“It shouldbe noted that I am using Gromacs 2019 and that I didn’t encounter 
such problemwhen using the same code (minus the 
pull-pbc-ref-prev-step-comcommand) and the same simulation system in Gromacs 
2016”
Best wishes,Majid
