It's even complex behaviour for long chain apolar molecules as there are
many possibility for taken into account the coupling effects (rot, vib,
conf and so on) especially at high T.

This non-zero value becomes quite significant if you are dealing with
highly flexible molecules -

Internal molecular dynamics effects are different in the gas and liquid
phases.

 I don't know that there is a good solution.  What you've outlined also
 doesn't seem very reliable, because you're causing serious perturbations to
 the system every 2 ps, so the outcome of the previous simulation is
 basically lost because you have changed the coordinates and perturbed the
 solvent around the polymer. So you basically have a certain number of
 unequilibrated polymer systems of varying size.  It doesn't help you to
 determine much of anything.

 MD is great for simulating nonbonded aggregation/assembly, but it is not
 trivial to do something involving covalent bonds in classical MD.




If you want to study dynamic of growth of materials via formation of
chemical bonds
(covalent, ionic and even metallic), perhaps empirical reactive FFs might
be
acceptable choices in terms of cost and accuracy BUT those are not
implemented
in GROMACS as far as I know. You need try them using LAMMPS, ADF, ReaxFF
codes,.

  Dear Alexander,

 As Vitaly has already suggested, it is possible to simulate growth.
 I'd, on the other hand, underline what Micholas has said.
 It may take some planning. Here are a few ideas how to do it.

 1. If you are simulating cleaving/forming bonds, the topology would
 change
 which is difficult for normal MD runs. If, however, running just few
 steps
 (or probably a single step) MD job and analysing/regenerating the
 topology
 after each such step (by your specific scripts) you may be fine.
 It can take some coding.

 2. You can still go on by replacing explicite bonds by Morse
 or LJ potentials (or using any tabled ones). Although such model can
 be poor in describing the underlying chemistry a good fitting of
 Morse/LJ/etc.
 can give you an acceptable rate for the polymerisation. This way bonds
 could be described by formally non-bonding interactions and the whole
 system is modelled as an interacting set of individual single atom ions.
 A complete replacement of all the bonds by non-bonding interaction
 potentials will give you a bond-less and angle-less etc. TOP file.
 It can be done in parts, too, in which case just some kinds of bonds
 (those that cleave or form) would be replaced. It may take lots of
 preparation but I think its viable.

 3. Sorry, I know nothing about special force fields created for sims of
 reactions. Probably those would be your tools.

 HTH,
toma

 I should clarify, If you are not concerned with the formation of

 covalent bonds, you can simulate growth, to some extent. Protein
 aggregation, for instance, can be studied with MD because of this; so if
 you are only interested in the early assembly, and not with electronic
 structure/covalent bonding, than you are ok. I had interpreted your
 question to be related to bonding, not just early assembly/aggregation.


 As far as adding units at a given time, I don't think gromacs can do

 that, as it would require your topology to change while the simulation
 was
 running (i.e. adding more molecules to your system while it is running).
 Now you could run multiple simulations of the polyethylene chain at
 different lengths with a single unit free in solution, and watch how the
 chain increases, but I don't think you could run a single simulation
 where
 you added monomer units on the fly.

  You're doing the calculation wrong.

 Number of degrees of freedom that g_traj assumes: 96900 * 3 = 290700


 I think translational modes should be reduced, having said this for N
 total
 atoms with fixed mumentum into the cell (290700-3) must be more accurate.


 g_traj has no knowledge of COM treatment, periodicity, etc, so such an
 operation is not necessary (not that it makes any difference in this case).


It hasn't but we know that the conservation of momentum among the cells
definitely affect the produced trajectory.
I agree it cannot make significant effects in my system but it's not the
general case.



  If anything, the degrees of freedom associated with translational and/or
 rotational motion have been corrected by grompp, so the manipulation would
 lie in the denominator, but if using the quantity printed by grompp, you
 don't need any further subtraction.


Having said this if you compare T in two different systems (using PBC and
another VBC) obtained by g_traj, you will see there are some differences.

 for restraints.



 can you clarify how it can be practically done?


 You need to recalculate the number of degrees of freedom based on whatever
 constraints there might be.  You said there are none, so that may not be
 the case.  Please excuse the typo in the earlier message, restraints
 should be constraints.


Which DOFs, do I need consider translational and rotational as well as
vibrational ones? And how this number will affact crude values obtained by
g_traj? Please consider constrained MD simulation done using OPLS.







   2- My trajectory is not constrain one as it has been recorded using

 reactive FF.

 I need to estimate T with converted trajectory (reaxffgro).


  Converted trajectory?



 yes, since non-reactive FF at high temperatures cannot be reliable due to
 vibrational effects, all my MD has been done by reactive one.


Your first post suggested the run was done with Gromacs (being that you
 had .tpr and .edr files).



 I have produced .tpr file but not .edr.


The outcomes you posted agree perfectly with constrained molecules,



 The posted data refereed to un-reliability of g_traj for obtaining of T. I
 just wanted to know the reason via comparison with g_energy. Those
 obtained
 by non-reactive FF of OPLS.


 This is where I was getting confused.  Your very first message said you
 had the same trajectory and input files but clearly this is not true.
  You're comparing apples and oranges; an accurate statement of what's
 really going on is very important and saves everyone time.


That means all posted values in my first message obtained by ONLY OPLS FF
just to understand how much g_traj and g_energy give us different T values
on same trajectory and input file.





  but without more details on what you're actually doing, I'm not going to
 hazard a guess.  Recall that even if you set constraints = none, SETTLE
 is still applied to water molecules unless you use -DFLEXIBLE (which you
 shouldn't for most normal purposes).



  My molecules are not water and g_traj gave following T values for same
 system using two different FFs

 1- ReaxFF
   0  399.321
   1  400.25
   2  401.08
   3  401.271
   4  400.67
   5  400.264
   6  400.752
   7  401.178
   8  401.391
   9  399.065
 10  401.78

 As i said already I just converted reaxff trajectory to gro one and also
 used tpr file (constrain=none in mdp) for estimation of T with g_traj.

 2- OPLS
   0  269.581
   1  271.064
   2  271.309
   3  271.205
   4  271.499
   5  270.868
   6  272.247
   7  271.59
   8  271.614
   9  270.598
   10 271.662


 How constrained MD results (OPLS) can be corrected?


 Now you're losing me again.  You're talking about converting some ReaxFF
 trajectory without constraints, but were there constraints in the OPLS
 trajectory?


here there are two different values of T obtained by ReaxFF and OPLS. As
you told there are no constrains in ReaxFF trajectory BUT there should be
constrain in OPLS trajectory.


  Can you give an actual listing of commands and .mdp files (if applicable)
 for what you're doing?  This is all very confusing.




Please just tell me how values of obtained T by g_traj can be corrected
when I use trajectory and tpr files of constrain MD simulations (OPLS) as
an input?


command:
g_traj_d -f md.trr  -s topol  -n n.ndx -ot T.xvg


mdp file:

; RUN CONTROL PARAMETERS
integrator   = md

Re: [gmx-users] Positive energy .

Why do you think positive values are doubtful?
What matters are energy differences between different snapshots
The absolute energy is meaningless in the FF framework.
