Dear prof.
  after i calculating the secondary strucure of  residues frome 20 to 60 
using do_dssp . And then i use xpm2ps to show the picture with ps.m2p, but the 
residue order number of  y-axis  start form 1 not the 20. how can i change the 
order of residue? Thank you very much!

 and that doesn't happen on the macroscopic level either.  Hence the
 small
 disconnect between a system that has thousands of atoms and one that has
 millions or trillions.  Pressure fluctuations decrease on the order of
 sqrt(N),
 so the system size itself is a determining factor for the pressure
 fluctuations.
   As previous discussions have rightly concluded, pressure is a somewhat
 ill-defined quantity in molecular systems like these.

 Dose it also imply that it is not a good idea to study the relationship
 between dimer (multimer) dissociation and  macroscopic pressure in this
 case
 ?  (due to the ill defined pressure).

 
 I would simply think it would be very hard to draw any meaningful
 conclusions if 
 they depend on a microscopic quantity that varies so strongly.
 
 It is hard to be justified if I assign a set of various ref_p= 0.7, 0.8,
 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 , perform independent simulations, and then obtain
 outcomes of targeted quantities for comparison.

 
 As with the original issue, I would find it hard to believe that any of
 the 
 differences observed in such a setup would be meaningful.  Is 0.7 ± 100
 actually 
 different from 1.2 ± 100?
 

 You could try altering tau_p, but I doubt there is any value in doing
 so.

 I would give it a try.

 
 This will really only change the relaxation time.  Smaller values of tau_p
 may 
 improve the average slightly, but may also (more likely) lead to
 instability, 
 especially with Parrinello-Rahman.

I carried out independent NPT processes with different tau_p values = 1.5,
1.0 and 0.5



## tau_p 1.5
Energy  Average   Err.Est.   RMSD  Tot-Drift
---
Pressure2.628592.6 185.682.67572  (bar)


## tau_p 1.0
Energy  Average   Err.Est.   RMSD  Tot-Drift
---
Pressure   0.8867691.7187.737  0.739  (bar)



## tau_p 0.5
Energy  Average   Err.Est.   RMSD  Tot-Drift
---
Pressure2.399112.2185.708 6.8189  (bar)

##

It is clear that when tau_p =1.0,  average pressure of the system (=0.89
bar) is close to ref_p =1.0 bar
However, it is unclear to me as to how to assign a good value to tau_p in
order to reach at a close value of ref_p. As shown above, both of the
average pressures  as  tau_p =1.5 and 0.5 are much higher than that as tau_p
=1.0.  A smaller tau_p may or may not help.


Another issue caused by system pressure  is about pbc box size. Since I use
pressure coupling, the box size is not fixed such that protein moved away
the center of membrane for a long simulation like 30 ns. Box size changes
significantly during production MD. Is there a way to fix the box size  at
the very beginning ? although turning off pressure coupling will make box
size fixed. 

Best regards,

Dwey

[gmx-users] SD integrator

2013-09-13 Thread HANNIBAL LECTER
Hi all,

I have been posting for a while with my problems in simulating peptides
inside CNTs. After a lot of trials it seems like simulating the CNT with
bonds and angles seems like a wise thing to do.

I am using the SD integrator + PR barostat. It seems like improper
thermostatting can blow up the system. For example, when I am trying to
simulate with tau-t for CNT as 1.0 the system blows up for 300K. The output
temperatures (from g_energy) for CNT is about 150K for a ref-t of 300K.

 However, if a stronger coupling is used tau-t = 0.005, the system works
fine. Are there any artifacts for coupling the CNT group with such a low
tau-t?

[gmx-users] MD simulations of Tyrosinase using GROMACS

2013-09-13 Thread naresh_sssihl
Dear GMX users,

I am trying to carry out MD simulations with tyrosinase protein. Tyrosinase
is a tyoe-3 copper protein. In its oxygen binding active site, the protein
has two copper atoms that bind to two oxygen atoms in a peroxo
configuration. Each copper is co-ordinated by three histidine residues.

While I am trying to generate a topology file for the protein I always get
an error message showing CU is not recognized by any force field. This
pretty clear that Copper is not parameterized by any of the force fields. 

Could any one hep me in this regard by including Copper parameters into the
force field and also defining the bonds between Copper - Oxygen and Copper
Histidine.

If any one has carried out MDS in similar lines please help me in this
regard.

Thanking you.

Re: Fwd: [gmx-users] SD integrator

2013-09-13 Thread Dr. Vitaly Chaban
Do you couple CNT as a separate T-group? It should be done so.

I think your systems blows up because of incorrectly defined bonded
parameters for the tube, not due to thermostatting. For instance, you might
not define all the valence angles and dihedrals.

See my papers for the parameters for CNT, if you need such...

[gmx-users] Distance calculation

2013-09-13 Thread Rama

Hi ,

I there any tool to calculate distance between particular atom from one
group(protein) to particular atom from another group(DMPC lipid in Bilayer).
For Example: protein backbone Amide(HN) to acyl chain carbon atom(C2D) in
DMPC lipid.

Thanks
