[gmx-users] Calculation of unsaturated deuterium order parameters for POPC

2011-06-10 Thread chris . neale
I have patched g_order version 4.5.4 to compute the order parameters in a different way. Despite trying, I don't understand the original g_order implementation. In the version that I am providing, the hydrogens are explicitly built and the coordinates of these hydrogens are output to

Hi Igor, Thanks for the reply but I think you slightly missed the point I was trying to make. I followed the approach you mention for the double bond and (with the two force fields I tried) got the values I discussed in my last email, which when compared to the published values seem to be

Hi, Both the trajectories are 100 ns in length (plus I have a repeat of each simulation using different starting velocities). The results from a block analysis, and analysis of the repeat simulations, give almost identical results to those in my previous message. The other thing is that the

Further to my last message we have managed to use a tcl script in VMD to calculate the order parameters for the POPC chains in the CHARMM36 simulation. I have put the values for this calculation and the values I obtained using g_order (over the same period in the same trajectory) below (this

Dear Thomas: I agree with your conclusions about g_order. My usage of the Berger POPC lipids in combination with the g_order command (as per the instructions in http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Gromacs_Utilities/g_order ) yields order parameters of 0.193 and 0.051 for the first and

Hi Everyone, I am facing a problem when calculating the lipid deuterium order parameters for the unsaturated carbons of the sn-2 tail of POPC using g_order with GROMACS version 4.5.4 (although I have tried other older versions too but they all give the same results). Firstly, I should say

thomas, i've recently placed a similar question and justin asked me to show my index for the double bound calculation, so, i'm asking you the same. you should have Ci-1 Ci - the first carbon of the double bound Ci+1 - the second carbon of the double bound Ci+2 in that index doing this,
