[gmx-users] Surface tension

2016-05-10 Thread Ganesh Shahane
Dear Gromacs Users,

I have been trying to calculate the surface tension of pure water in a
cubic box, in which a layer of water molecules (along the XY plane) is
surrounded by vacuum on either sides of the Z-direction. Towards this, I
did an NVT simulation and computed the surface tension using gmx energy
(Gromacs 5.1) and got the following results:-

 1000.00  891.987000
 1005.00  -1404.097290
 1010.00  946.841919
 1015.00  2523.864014
 1020.00  317.747986
 1025.00  422.096313
 1030.00  -1233.948364
 1035.00  2187.071777
 1040.00  -88.564178
 1045.00  -981.897888
 1050.00  -429.718262
 1055.00  121.672829
.
.
.
.

My question is are the figures obtained as above normal/correct? My concern
is mainly because of the wide fluctuations in these readings. Also, when
you report the value of surface tension, do you average the numbers across
all the frames?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

[gmx-users] Topology for Sphingomyelin

2016-01-22 Thread Ganesh Shahane
Dear Gromacs users,

I wish to simulate a mixed lipid bilayer of which one of the lipids is
sphingomyelin (PSM, 18:1-sphingosine and 16:0-palmitic acid) using Charmm36
ff. Towards this, I constructed the bilayer using Charmm-GUI but then was
surprised to find that its topology is not present in residue topology
database of Charmm36 ff.

Does anyone has any idea about where can I get topology for PSM? Or would
it be wise to submit it to paramchem to get its topology?

Thank you in advance.

[gmx-users] Backmapping of POPE

2015-11-23 Thread Ganesh Shahane
Dear Gromacs users,

I have a mixed POPE:POPG bilayer in Martini ff which I wish to backmap into
Charmm36 ff. To that effect, I am using the script developed by Tsjerk.
However, I am getting the following error, which terminates the process
even before it starts:

Problem determining mapping coordinates for atom H91 of residue POPE.

On checking the pope.charmm36.map file in Mapping folder, the atom H91 can
be seen to be well defined in the bead D3B.

Can anybody explain as to why it's throwing the error?

Thank you.

[gmx-users] POPC simulation with heavy hydrogens and 4 fs timestep

2015-11-19 Thread Ganesh Shahane
Dear Gromacs Users,

I have been trying to simulate a pure POPC bilayer with a timestep of 4 fs
and heavy hydrogens, using the charmm36 ff. Towards this end, I constructed
the bilayer using Charmm-GUI and used pdb2gmx with the -heavyh flag to
generate the appropriate topology.

However when I use the grompp to generate the .tpr file, I get a warning:
"Overriding atomtype OT". A quick look in the Charmm36 ffnonbonded.itp
revealed that the atomtype OT corresponds to an oxygen with reduced atomic
mass, which is perfectly understandable given the use of -heavyh flag.

My problem is that I don't understand what the warning exactly means. A
look at a previous gromacs thread where this "overriding atomtype" problem
has been reported, didn't help.

Is it safe to ignore this warning?

When I ignored the warning and carried out a simple NVE run, it gave me
potential, kinetic and total energies that were not conserved. Please find
the plot of the energies and the associated NVE run parameters at this link
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2cmuCsErAPZcjhmNW1tWnA3UXM/view?usp=sharing.
A look at the trajectory in VMD revealed that the molecules which were
initially very dynamic, start "freezing" as the KE approaches zero.

Does anybody has any idea as to where I am going wrong?

Thank you.

Re: [gmx-users] Few queries about microsecond long simulations

2015-08-19 Thread Ganesh Shahane
Hi Anu,

Since .xtc doesn't store velocities, its a much more compact trajectory
than it's .trr counterpart, i.e. it has a smaller size. Also, .xtc is more
easier on your computer RAM than the .trr file, during visualizing or
analyzing using the .xtc trajectories.

If you are looking to save disk space and if you won't need the velocities,
output only the xtc file.

 Hi Felipe and Ganesh,

 Do we really need to save coordinates in both of these two formats - trr
 and .xtc?. If one save the .trr file, what is the need of .xtc file since
 .trr can provide all the informations required with higher precision. All I
 am looking for is to save some disk space.

   long simulations and I have a quiet large system, it can generate
 large
   amount of data and in this regard I would like to clarify few queries
   before continue the simulations. My queries are,
  
   1. How often I should save the trajectories? In general, I have seen
  that
   mostly use 2ps interval for saving trajectories, as shown below. Will
  it
   be
   safe if I use 10ps ( 5000 steps ) interval for saving trajectories?
  
   nstxout = 1000  ; save coordinates every 2 ps
   nstvout = 1000  ; save velocities every 2 ps
   nstenergy   = 1000  ; save energies every 2 ps
   nstlog  = 1000  ; update log file every 2 ps
  
   The files you create and the frequency with which you write them
 depends
   only on what you want to measure in the end. In principle, you want to
  save
   every couple of decorrelation times, for whatever property interests
  you. I
   assume that since you want a microsecond-long simulation then you are
  going
   for a slow process and therefore you don't need so frequent saving.
  Just as
   a comparison, for one of my simulations (~550k atoms, 1 µs) I save the
   coordinates every 40 ps which gives me a final xtc of ~50Gb of space.
  
  
   2. How safe if I just write only the compressed .xtc file of the
   trajectories and not the .trr file during the production run? If its
  safe,
   how can I tell mdrun not to write the trr file?
   3. Do I really need the trr file for any MD analysis?
  
   Again, you should know if you need the velocities later, or if need a
   high precision for the coordinates. If you don't, then leave the mdp
 as,
   nstxout = 0
   nstvout = 0
   nstenergy   = 1000
   nstlog  = 1000
   nstxtcout   = 1000

 a comparison, for one of my simulations (~550k atoms, 1 µs) I save the
 coordinates every 40 ps which gives me a final xtc of ~50Gb of space.


 2. How safe if I just write only the compressed .xtc file of the
 trajectories and not the .trr file during the production run? If its safe,
 how can I tell mdrun not to write the trr file?
 3. Do I really need the trr file for any MD analysis?

 Again, you should know if you need the velocities later, or if need a
 high precision for the coordinates. If you don't, then leave the mdp as,
 nstxout = 0
 nstvout = 0
 nstenergy   = 1000
 nstlog  = 1000
 nstxtcout   = 1000

 Many thanks in advance

 Anu

Re: [gmx-users] Topology file for serotonin (5-HT)

2015-07-26 Thread Ganesh Shahane
Hi Justin,

Yes. I tried the same, but during the preparation of the .tpr file using
grompp it gives an error saying No default proper dihedral types for 3
dihedral angles which are not present in the ffbonded.itp of the charmm36
force-field. These 3 dihedrals consist of atoms that encompass the alkyl
amine and the indole groups of serotonin.

Now, if I remove these dihedrals in question from the serotonin's .itp file
which I have prepared, the simulation runs just fine. I am trying to
calculate the free energy of solvation for serotonin. Considering this, is
it okay to ignore some of these dihedrals?

Thanks!

 It's very straightforward to combine existing parameters to make this
 simple molecule (indole + hydroxyl + alkyl amine).  CHARMM covers all of
 these functional groups easily.

Re: [gmx-users] g_msd and Diffusion Constant

2015-07-21 Thread Ganesh Shahane
Yes, for some calculations the error bar values did exceed the diffusion
coefficient values.

I am using the double-precision version of gromacs. But then again the
question is whether to consider the value displayed on the terminal screen
or the one displayed in the .xvg file.

On Tue, Jul 21, 2015 at 10:25 PM, V.V.Chaban vvcha...@gmail.com wrote:

 I have a strong belief that an error bar for such numbers exceed the

 Newer gromacs versions (or is it just because of a double-precision
 compilation?) output more digits. I do want to hope these digits are
 meaningful

 If I got this situation, I would report 10^(-8)cm^2/s.

Re: [gmx-users] g_msd and Diffusion Constant

2015-07-21 Thread Ganesh Shahane
Hi,

Actually you are right. The chol.xvg file shows a value of 0.000903331 and
NOT 0.000903331*1e-5. I initially thought that the .xvg file purposely
doesn't show the 1e-5 value.

But still 0.000903331 is different from 0.0007417 which is displayed on the
terminal screen.

On Tue, Jul 21, 2015 at 11:18 AM, Chandan Choudhury iitd...@gmail.com
wrote:

 Yeah.

 Generally, what my observation says that in xvg file you have the round up
 value which has 4 decimal digits.
 But for your one it has 10 decimal degits.

 Can you please try with a higher version- 4.6.x?
