[gmx-users] simulated annealing mdp

2012-06-12 Thread rama david
Hi Gromacs Friends,

I planed to do simulated annealing...
My protocol is as follow
( forcefield G96 53a6   spc water model)

1. nvt at 310 k for 100 ps
2. Sa (mdp is posted below )
3. NPT at 310 k for 100 ps

Is it right ??

Please suggest me improvements...

There are two levels of right - suitability of purpose and syntactic 
correctness.  The latter is easily solved by running grompp.  If there's a 
problem, you'll know in five seconds rather than waiting a few hours for help. 
With respect to the former, you should decide on a protocol based on established 
procedures and the goals of your study.


There are many questions you should ask yourself.  What do you hope to achieve 
using the SA protocol shown?  How will it aid your study?  Should you use a 
wider range of temperatures for any particular reason?


From what I see, you've got a protein in water and you're restraining the 
protein.  The SA protocol simply heats and cools water, which I don't think 
accomplishes much.

Hello Justin,

In the last message you said SA protocol simply heats and cools water,
which I don't think accomplishes much.. can you suggest the other
paramaters that must be  used  achieve, lets say the proper folding of
loops in a GPCR.





Secondly.,,In temperature coupling he  used 310 for the non protein system
and a range of temeratures from 310-323-310 for simulated aneealing.. how
the program treats the couling temperatures  and annealing temperatures
(310 and 310-323-310)..
Can you explain what temperature is applied to what groups in simple
membrane system with a GPCR system..

; Temperature coupling is on
tc-grps= Protein Non-Protein; two coupling groups - more
accurate
ref_t= 310 310; reference temperature, one for each group,
in K
;sim anealing
annealing_time  =  0  200  400 600 0 200 400 600
annealing_temp  = 310 323 300 310  310 323 300 310 .

'(Sorry if it feels like a premature question.. But I'm a beginner )
Thanks

Hello Justin,

I should clarify that - the SA protocol does indeed heat and cool the protein as 
well, but accomplishes nothing because restraints were applied.


To refine loops, don't use restraints.  One can create a custom posre.itp file 
with genrestr to restrain some parts of a protein (i.e., well-folded secondary 
structure elements) while letting others move.  This may be necessary if using 
high temperatures that would otherwise cause the protein to unfold.  Restraints 
can be useful, if applied appropriately.






Secondly.,,In temperature coupling he  used 310 for the non protein system and a
range of temeratures from 310-323-310 for simulated aneealing.. how the program
treats the couling temperatures  and annealing temperatures (310 and 
310-323-310)..
Can you explain what temperature is applied to what groups in simple membrane
system with a GPCR system..



Temperatures are scaled linearly between the values listed in annealing_temp 
over the times set in annealing_time.  The values set for ref_t are irrelevant, 
but one does need to set appropriate values for other temperature coupling 
parameters.

Re: [gmx-users] simulated annealing mdp

2012-06-12 Thread rama david
Hello Justin and Ravi,

Lets explain me Why I  did simulated anealing?? ..


I synthesise peptide and I have experimental data for its self assembly,
I just want to reproduced these data.


I arranged the 32 protein in axis to petide fibre, in antiparrallel Beta
sheet structure.
I dont have crystal structure ,

Thats why I did SA in the hope that after these the side chain may be get
properly oriented with respect to each other.That will give me good
structure for production run.
 I also run system withought SA , but I get good result by following SA
protocol.

In posrestrain only backbone is restrained and the sidechain is free to
move, So I
think it may be help to achieve my goal.

After these I also plan  to use SA as production run, then compare the
result with previous protocols.

Please give valuable suggestion to improve my study protocol..


With Best Wishes,
Rama David.

Seems reasonable.  Stating this up front in the original message would have 
saved some time.  Otherwise, we make assumptions ;)
