Re: [gmx-users] Problem force constant bond stretc.

Dear Gromacs users,

I have a problem regarding force constant for bond stretching. By employing
VFFDT software, I got C-C bond stretching force constant (for Benzene,
B3LYP-6311++G*) equal to 383.23 kcal/ (mol A^2) which is equivalent to
160343 kj/ (mol nm^2). However when I look to the ffbonded.itp file of
Amber99.ff the CA-CA force constant value is 392459.2  kj/ (mol nm^2). It
seems that the value I got from VFFDT is somehow half than the one reported
in Amber force field.
Can somebody help me to figure out such issue?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help.


Vbond = (k/2) (r - r0)^2

Some methods do not use the division by two, so it can be a matter of 
definition.

Hi All
Hope everyone is doing well. I'm Tahsin, currently doing a Master of

would like to request everyone here to shed some light regarding a research
I'm currently involved in. We are trying to develop a method of determining

Similar works have been done before but all of them involved solution-based

simulations so I'm not at all well versed in the capabilities of GROMACS.
Have a nice day.

Have you done your simulations and run gmx dipoles to analyze? And then 
gmx dielectric on the output of that?

Please report back when you have, this is a bit tricky business though.
You may check my old paper, however it is not entirely correct since 
trying to extract the dielectric constant at infinite frequency from a 
non-polarizable ff is not possible.

Dear GMX user,
I am working on NEF (NMR Exchange Format). I need to use NMR restraint data
in gromacs (in force field) for simulation. Does Gromacs support either
reading or writing NEF format at the moment? If yes, then how can we
implement NMR restrain data like dihedral, angle, chemical shifts, NOE

If not, which machine can I go for simulation using these data?
Many thanks

We are working on an importer for NMR star files. Would that help? 
Please contact me off the mailing list in that case.

Hello all,

I am working with a rather large membrane bound protein. I was getting
an issue awhile ago where if the protein moved to the edge of the box
the box would elongate in the z direction. I fixed this in the short

compressibility = 0  4.5e-5
ref_p   = 1.0 1.0

I have a few questions, why was it blowing up in the first place? I


This was due to a CHARMM-specific bug in which CMAP forces were not 
correctly calculated when two atoms were in different periodic images: 
http://manual.gromacs.org/current/release-notes/2019/2019.4.html#fix-incorrect-pressure-when-atoms-in-cmap-cross-a-box-boundary


It was fixed in version 2019.4.

Update your GROMACS version and you don't have to try playing any tricks 
like zero compressibility.


-Justin


would guess its to do with how the pressure is being calculated when
this large 'vacuum' is being created in the solvent when the protein
wraps around since my tc_grps is Protein non-Protein. The fact the
problem only occurs when the protein wraps seems to indicate this sort
of artifact, I can get into the hundreds of nano seconds before the
protein drifts if I'm lucky, this is all after a well equilibrated
system.

I could fix the protein in the center of the box but I fear that might
produce artifacts and I suspect there is a better way.

I want to start studying how this protein interacts with the lipids
and fixing the xy box size is not conducive to this so I'm wondering
how  I can let the lipids fluctuate while still maintaining sensible
system behavior.

Thank you for your time,

Best, Miro
