To help illustrate this, here is one example of the type of pressure
fluctuation you can get.

[gmx-users] Gromacs Neighbor List Output

2018-11-08 Thread Adriaan Riet
Hello,

I noticed that gromacs has an environment variable that seems to allow it
to output neighbor lists. I haven't been able to figure out how to use it.
Does anyone have an example of how this could work?

Thanks,

Re: [gmx-users] Bond Decomposition Error

2018-11-08 Thread Wenjuan Jiang
Hello Tom,

I got something like decomposition errors when running in GPU clusters, and
later I found it is because of PBC unit cell angles. You can try to use
trajconv to get out of one pdb file from your simulation box. If the unit
cell is non-90degree, it will cause this domain decomposition errors.

Thanks,
Wenjuan

[gmx-users] Bond Decomposition Error

2018-11-08 Thread tca1

Hi everyone,

I've recently gotten a simulation of a 2D crystal surface set up in  
GROMACS using a combination of x2top and periodic-molecules. Things  
run okay for me when I do small-scale tests on a single core  
(minimization, NVT equilibration, etc), however when I try to scale  
this up and run it on multiple processors I get an error saying:


Not all bonded interactions have been properly assigned to the domain  
decomposition cells


This happens for any number of cores larger than 1, and it happens  
even during my minimization step. I don't believe this is the result  
of a poor equilibrium geometry, because when I run intermediate-sized  
tests on a single core, they finish correctly after only a handful of  
steps, even using fairly tight minimization settings. Additionally,  
the box itself is simple - just a cube with periodic boundary  
conditions applied - and I'm leaving out everything but the crystal  
surface in the simulation to reduce the complexity for debugging.


I suspect the error has something to do with the periodic-molecules  
option and an unidentified oversight in my job setup, but I have no  
idea where to look. Does anyone have any suggestions?


Thanks,
Tom Allen

Re: [gmx-users] pdb2gmx fatal error

2018-11-08 Thread Ali Khodayari
Dear Justin,

Thank you for your response. Yet, I have not been able to solve the problem.

The structure looks fine but gromacs is complaining about a dangling atom at
one of the terminal ends, if I choose no terminal to be added. While,
assigning a terminal to the ends (which I don't understand why), results to
another error, which to me seems bizarre. It is still complaining about an
atom (C6) which is not found in the input file (.rtp?), however, it is
indeed one of the atoms in the rtp file. 
Here is what it looks like in the rtp file:

[ GLC0 ]
 [ atoms ]

   O4   OA -0.64200 1

[gmx-users] 4. Re: 5. Re: 3. Re: Strange pullx coordinates (PMF

2018-11-08 Thread CROUZY Serge 119222
Hello Justin

I still don't understand where Gromacs takes the x coordinates in the output 
pmf with g_wham
If I run g_wham with tpr-files and pullf-files without the pullx-files

-it tpr-files.dat -if pullf-files.dat
I get a profile which means that g_wham does not take the X-coordinates in the 
pullx (I don't give them), but in the tpr files ...
So what X-coordinates are stored in the tpr-files ?

Then if I use
-it tpr-files.dat -ix pullx-files.dat 
Where does g_wham take the forces and which x coordinates does it take : those 
from the tpr or those from the pullx ?

Moreover when I restart my simulations, I regenerate new tpr files
For instance to add 10 more ns

gmx convert-tpr -s umbrella10ns.tpr -extend 1 -o umbrella20ns.tpr
gmx mdrun -s umbrella20ns.tpr -cpi xxx.cpt 

If I run g_wham after this simulation, which tpr should I use ?

Can you please explain the role of these tpr in g_wham calculations?

Thanks a lot

It should be straightforward to apply a systematic shift to the values in the 
output PMF curve. But I don't know how you've set up your pull code to get such 
output in the first place. The absolute position of
group0 should be totally irrelevant.

[gmx-users] Assigning charge to closely related functional group

2018-11-08 Thread Tushar Ranjan Moharana
Hi All,
Following is the structure of the molecule, which I wish to parameterize.
 CH3  O
  |   ||
CH3 - C - O - C -
  |
 CH3
It is a peptide capping reagent. The last carbon will form bond with the
NH2 group of the peptide. I have generated the the topology using PRODRG
server and wish to refine the charge group and partial charges as PRODRG
server doen't predict them correctly. The closest well-validated structure
is of carboxyl ester in the first position of DPPC (or any other
glyceride). However there is a minor difference. The carbon attached to
three methyl group, in this case is CH0 type and in DPPC it was CH2 type.
Since the carbon was part of charge group in DPPC, I fear I may have to
change the partial charges. I couldn't find any example where exactly same
charge group was used. I will appreciate if anyone can suggest me how to
assign correct partial charges.

Thanks a lot for the help.

Re: [gmx-users] DispErsion correction

Dear Justin and Dallas

Thank you for your replying

I have another problem in minimizing and NVT run of my complex, including a
protein and a peptidic ligand which the ligand has 2 phosphotyrosine
residues. I generated a topology file of ligand using ff14sb in ambertools
16 and then converted the .inpcrd and .prmtop files in .gro and .top files
using acpype python script. The protein topology was generated using
amber99sb ff in GROMACS.
Then, I cited to gromacs manuscript in order to generate an .itp file of
ligand from .top file and generated .itp file by removing the header and
footer of .top file in such a way that .itp file starts with :

then, modified the complex.gro and .top files according to the tutorials in
gromacs, I Minimized the complex by issuing this coomand:
gmx grompp -f em.mdp -c solv-ions.gro -p topol.top -o em.tpr
gmx mdrun -v -defnm em
but noticed that the minimization ended soon :

Steepest Descents converged to machine precision in 80 steps,
but did not reach the requested Fmax < 1000.

and when performed the NVT run , faced to this error:

Simply, you can't, and you shouldn't. The Berendsen method produces an 
invalid statistical mechanical ensemble. It relaxes systems quickly and 
is therefore still useful for equilibration, but should never be 
employed during data collection. Full stop.

Re: [gmx-users] Periodic saving of checkpoint file

2018-11-08 Thread Nicolas Cheron
Hi Mark,

Thank you for your answer. I didn't know this option. From what I have
read, eneconv is for reading parameters for Nose-Hoover or
Parrinello-Rahman coupling. Thus, if I am doing first an NVT simulation
with the velocity-rescale thermostat or a Langevin dynamics, I don't need
the .edr file, right ? Can you please confirm that this is enough to
prepare the tpr from the time 50ps of the NVT simulation:

gmx grompp -v -f NVE.mdp -n Index.ndx -o NVE.tpr -c NVT.gro -t NVT.trr
-time 50 -p Protein.top -po NVE_mdout.mdp

Thank you
