Hi Justin,

Thanks very much for your reply! Regarding to your two explanations, I 
guess it might be the first one.
I have also tried to do a simulation of a three-residue (Gly-Ser-Asn) 
system with water, but it still did not work.


Could you also give some test for this morse potential? Thanks very much!


All the best,
Qinghua

 Well, Morse potentials aren't the functional form with which any of the
 biomolecular force fields in Gromacs were parametrized, so either (1) 
 there's a
 bug that needs to be fixed or (2) you're doing something incompatible 
 and the

Re: [gmx-users] MD simullations with Morse potential

2014-04-27 Thread fantasticqhl
Hi Tsjerk,

Thanks! Is morse potential working for you?

I am using Gromos 53a6 force field with spc water, and the Gromacs 
version is 4.5.4, and I also tried 4.6.5.

I just tried to do a simulation for just one residue (Gly) with water. 
However, all tests were not working!

Could you tell me how you did the equilibrations? Thanks very much!


All the best,
Qinghua

 Hi Qinghua,

 I have run simulations with morse bonds a while back, in combination with
 the Gromos 45a3 force field. I only had a few of those bonds, though.

 Which Gromacs version are you using and which force field?

 Cheers,

 Tsjerk

[gmx-users] MD simullations with Morse potential

2014-04-25 Thread fantasticqhl
Dear All,


I am trying to do a simulations with morse potential for bonds, I can do the
minimization of the system, but I can not do the MD optimization without
lincs constraints on bonds since using Morse potential with constraints is
useless.

The error was shown as Segmentation fault (core dumped) , I did not found
some other information in the log file. The system was well minimized before
doing md optimization. Here is my mdp file:

Is there some special rule for md simulations with morse potential? But I
did not found it in the manual. Could someone give some suggestions? Any
response will be highly appreciated!

The first problem I suspect is the use of the Parrinello-Rahman barostat while 
generating velocities.  That combination often results in instability for any 
system.  Try NVT equilibration before moving to NPT.

Well, Morse potentials aren't the functional form with which any of the

bug that needs to be fixed or (2) you're doing something incompatible and the 
model physics is breaking down.
