Re: [gmx-users] gmx convert-tpr problem

2017-04-05 Thread Gregory Man Kai Poon
Hi Mark,

To clarify, I should be calling mdrun like:

gmx mdrun -s new.tpr -cpi old.cpt -deffnm old

?

I apologize ahead if this sounds obvious.

Kind regards,

I checked, double-checked, triple-checked that all the files the error is 
referring to is in the working directory.  In fact, all the files (the 
md_0_100.* files from the previous run) as well as md_100_200.tpr are in the 
same folder (the working directory), in which the mdrun command is invoked.  
Any suggestions would be appreciated.



The error message could probably use a bit of re-wording, but what mdrun is 
telling you is that the .cpt file tells mdrun that there should be md_0_100.* 
that are being written, but your use of -deffnm md_100_200 means the output 
files will be named md_100_200.* and mdrun is trying to append to the existing 
files with different file names.  Use -noappend if you're changing the output 
file names.

Re: [gmx-users] Force Fields Keeping sp3 Nitrogen Groups Planar?

2017-04-05 Thread Mark Abraham
Hi,

The protonation state is a decision you make in setting up the topology
(what pH am I modelling?). Having done so, you get whatever amine model the
force field specifies, and I expect that no force field has such a planar
amine, because none actually have the improper dihedral you suggest they
do, for the reason you suggest. :-)

Re: [gmx-users] Force Fields Keeping sp3 Nitrogen Groups Planar?

2017-04-05 Thread Phillip Rauscher
Thanks so much for the reply Mark!  For my own curiosity, is there a way
that people generally deal with neutral sp3 Nitogens?  They're chiral
centers on simulation time scales, but on macroscopic scales pyramidal
inversion eliminates that.

Hii
I think you are doing some mistakes. 1AKI_processed.gro should contain 129
molecules and 1960 atoms as you are using 1AKI.pdb (your file contains SOL
also??). If you want to add a certain number of solvent then you can use
-cs -maxsol   command. If you want to add solvent randomly using -cs then
you can get number of solvents from 1AKI_sol.gro file and write the number
in topol.top file..

Hi,

gmx solvate reports on the terminal what it has done, doesn't it? Someone
needs to update the topology, so we wouldn't suppress the number you need
;-)

Use grep -c with a unique atom name to count the number of any given molecule in 
the system.

I don't understand how an ammonia-water mixture has amino-acid carbons in
it. Please describe your system and RDF accurately the first time.

"Justify" doesn't seem like the right word. You can add a physical
interpretation to what you've computed, once you're sure you've computed
the thing you want. But doing so only makes sense if it relates to the aim
of your study, which is kind of your business to already know before you
start computing things. :-)

So how can i view those molecules that have been more closer/bond formation

Then either every frame contributes (e.g. you have lots of carbon atoms and
lots of ammonia and a lot of the RDF is in that first peak, so there is a
very low chance that any frame has zero carbon atoms close to any ammonia
atom), or you haven't been specific enough in describing to VMD what you
actually want.

Re: [gmx-users] Regarding viewing Trajectories

2017-04-05 Thread Dilip H N
Thamk you ,
But in my RDF i have got a peaks(solvation shells) with Carbon of amino
acid with ammonia in ammonia-water mixture, so i need to analyse why that
peak has been formed, which can be viewed by visualizing the trajectories
 in vmd.
So i need to see that at what time frame/step has the bond
formed/particular molecule is closer to the preferred atom, since with this
i can give justification to my results...
So how can i view those molecules that have been more closer/bond formation
with specific molecule has occurred...since viewing the whole trajectory
time frame (i have 6002 frames) is time consuming...
I wrote in Graphical representation > selected atoms > all within 5 of
protein and i am viewing it for every time frame...

[gmx-users] how to know solvent molecule number

2017-04-05 Thread Chintan Bhagat
Hello,

I want to do stimulation of my protein in solvent, ethanolamine (different
percentage).
I have made box of 1 nm and then using command
"gmx solvate -cp 1AKI_newbox.gro -cs ethanolamine.gro -o 1AKI_solv.gro -p
topol.top",
As per my knowledge, i solvated my protein in ethanolamine.
Now I want to know the number of ethanolamine molecule present in box. Then
I looked in to *.top* file but no information is availble in the file (SOL).
(As per intruction, program is only hard-coded to update the topology in
the case of water).
I found increase in number of molecules from 7200 to 128004 in
/home/lab1/Desktop/md2/1AKI_processed.gro.gro and 1AKI_solv.gro,
respectively. It means something is inserted in box (must be
ethanolamine!-my guess)
How can i know number of ethanolamine molecules?


for reference please find attched files.

Thanking you in advance.

Re: [gmx-users] (no subject)

2017-04-05 Thread Erik Marklund
Dear Maria,

Are you confusing gromos and gromacs?

In the manual, under the Force fields heading: "GROMACS 2016 includes several 
force fields, and additional ones are available on the website. If you do not 
know which one to select we recommend GROMOS-96 for united-atom setups and 
OPLS-AA/L for all-atom parameters. That said, we describe the available options 
in some detail.”

(The comment about OPLS-AA/L is probably very old and in need of revision.)

Then follows subsections describing a range of supported force fields, most of 
which are all-atom. The phrase “united-atom” occurs only once in the manual, in 
the sentence quoted above. What made you think gromacs is united-atom only?

Kind regards,
Erik

Sounds like it. Visualizing your trajectory would be an obvious stage in
understanding what is happening. There's no particular reason to expect two
different approximate model physics to agree with each other, unless
they've been already shown to have good agreement.

It means that one bond has a higher propensity to persist than another.
Only you can put that in context.

Hi,

Thank you for the reply.

However, I don't get the same bonds as obtained through docking.  Those
hydrogen bonds have vanished, I presume during the simulation duration of
2ns.

The bonding takes place with different protein residues. One donor -
acceptor has higher percentage (29%)  and the other has very less
percentage (0.05%)

Can someone tell me what does it mean?

All the MD packages *can* deploy united-atom force fields. To my knowledge,

There's introductory level guidance available here
http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/How-tos/Parameterization but you are
warned there that this is not a topic suitable for a beginner. At the very
least, use one of the several different packages that provide automated
force-field-specific parameterization of e.g. ligand molecules, having
planned how you will assess the quality of the parameterization before
attempting to use it to solve a problem whose answer you do not know.

Why are you trying to keep the ligand in place (by restraining it) and pull
it out?

Only you can know whether the difference in naming reflects your intent, or
not. Why did you generate the topology from a coordinate file that is
different from what you are using with grompp?

This does not make sense. What do you mean by “using codes”? And while gromacs 
can do united atom, all-atom force fields are routinely used with gromacs.

[gmx-users] determining restraints for pulling

2017-04-05 Thread abhisek Mondal
Hi,

I'm trying to pull a ligand from a protein-ligand complex. As per the
ligand-protein tutorial, I have restrained the ligand in topology file and
it looks like:

; Include Position restraint file
#ifdef POSRES
#include "posre.itp"
#endif

; Include ligand topology
#include "drg.itp"

; Include position restraints
#ifdef POSRES_LIG
#include "posre_ACO.itp"
#endif

; Include water topology
#include "gromos43a1.ff/spc.itp"

In the md_pull.mdp, I'm using:

title   = Umbrella pulling simulation
define  = -DPOSRES
; Run parameters
integrator  = md;applying leap frog algorithm

So, is it proper for pulling ligand (ACO) from the protein or I'm doing
something wrong ? I'm really lost here, please help me out.

Thank you.

Check the total number of atoms at the top of topology files. If you have

Re: [gmx-users] Regarding viewing Trajectories

2017-04-05 Thread Mark Abraham
Hi,

A peak in a distance distribution function by definition is contributed to
by lots of molecules around that distance from lots of different central
points. There's no single frame for each point.

If you look at a normal histogram, and see a peak, asking "which single
data point made this" is not meaningful, because multiple data points have
normally contributed.

As Magnus says, so long as the result honours the periodicity, which

Ah, that could be improved. It likely relates to

and because it is common to several tools, is documented at
