Hello Gaurav, Thanks for your reply, I did position restrained enegry minimisation, and used following .mdp file for the same
title = protein cpp = /usr/bin/cpp ; the c pre-processor define = -DPOSRE constraints = none integrator = steep dt = 0.002 ; ps ! nsteps = 1000 nstlist = 10 ns_type = grid rlist = 0.9 coulombtype = PME rcoulomb = 0.9 rvdw = 0.9 fourierspacing = 0.12 fourier_nx = 0 fourier_ny = 0 fourier_nz = 0 pme_order = 4 ewald_rtol = 1e-5 optimize_fft = yes ; ; Energy minimizing stuff ; emtol = 1000.0 emstep = 0.01 pbc = xyz I included define = -DPOSRE, for restraining the atom postion, I used posre.itp which was genertaed by pdb2gmx. Have I done it correctly, because after this also many of the beeta sheets have become short, forming loops. I also want to ask what is the meaning of fx fy and fz : ; atom type fx fy fz 1 1 1000 1000 1000 5 1 1000 1000 1000 6 1 1000 1000 1000 7 1 1000 1000 1000 8 1 1000 1000 1000 9 1 1000 1000 1000 11 1 1000 1000 1000 12 1 1000 1000 1000 15 1 1000 1000 1000 18 1 1000 1000 1000 19 1 1000 1000 1000 20 1 1000 1000 1000 21 1 1000 1000 1000 22 1 1000 1000 1000 23 1 1000 1000 1000 which is there in posre.itp file, and if these should have value of 1000 1000 1000 each ? Thanks in advance. -- Sonali Dhindwal --- On Wed, 19/5/10, Gaurav Goel <gauravgoel...@gmail.com> wrote: From: Gaurav Goel <gauravgoel...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [gmx-users] enegry minimisation To: "sonali dhindwal" <sonali11dhind...@yahoo.co.in> Date: Wednesday, 19 May, 2010, 8:39 PM For position restraints you need to do the following: 1. define a name.itp file which looks like: ; In this topology include file, you will find position restraint ; entries for all the heavy atoms in your original pdb file. ; This means that all the protons which were added by pdb2gmx are ; not restrained. [ position_restraints ] ; atom type fx fy fz 1 1 1000 1000 1000 5 1 1000 1000 1000 6 1 1000 1000 1000 ....... ....... _____ 1,5,6 etc. are the atom indices you want to restrain. section 4.3.1 in manual. 2. Add "define = -Dname" to your mdp file 3. Add following lines to your topology file ; Include Position restraint file #ifdef name #include "name.itp" #endif 4. compile and run. I'm sure you will find mroe information on position-restrain simulation on gmx-users archive. -Gaurav On Wed, May 19, 2010 at 10:26 AM, sonali dhindwal <sonali11dhind...@yahoo.co.in> wrote: Hello Gaurav, Can you please help me in suggesting where should I look for providing parameters to constrain the protein backbone and then do EM and then how to run a short MD simulation by constraining the protein backbone. Sorry to bother you, but as I am new to Gromacs, your help will be highly appreciable.

Constrain the protein backbone and do EM. 2. Now do EM on the full system. 3. Run a short MD simulation by constraining the protein backbone. The above three steps will help hydrate the protein molecule with minimal distortion of protein structure. 4. Now run a MD on full system. for details looks here: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=2&ved=0CBcQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Feugen.leitl.org%2Fchem%2Fkerrigje%2Fpdf_files%2Ffwspidr_tutor.pdf&ei=jOPzS8a3Lab2MdX1_aAO&usg=AFQjCNGB_3mXSQRHuqehBSHXsRyXP1Gymg&sig2=bY3NqXHmruR7eSLVyAuCHQ -Gaurav On Wed, May 19, 2010 at 8:18 AM, sonali dhindwal <sonali11dhind...@yahoo.co.in> wrote: Sorry, but I couldnt get your question, I have used this .mdp file for energy minimisation after addition of water and using GROMOS96 43a1 force field : title = drg_trp cpp = /lib/cpp ; location of cpp on SGI define = -DFLEX_SPC ; Use Ferguson’s Flexible water model [4] constraints = none integrator = steep dt = 0.002 ; ps ! nsteps = 2000 nstlist = 10 ns_type = grid rlist = 0.9 coulombtype = PME ; Use particle-mesh ewald rcoulomb = 0.9 rvdw = 1.0 fourierspacing = 0.12 fourier_nx = 0 fourier_ny = 0 fourier_nz = 0 pme_order = 4 ewald_rtol = 1e-5 optimize_fft = yes ; ; Energy minimizing stuff ; emtol = 1000.0 emstep = 0.01 I hope it will help you to guide me further Thanks -- Sonali Dhindwal --- On Wed, 19/5/10, Erik Marklund <er...@xray.bmc.uu.se> wrote: From: Erik Marklund <er...@xray.bmc.uu.se> Subject: Re: [gmx-users] enegry minimisation To: "Discussion list for GROMACS users" <gmx-users@gromacs.org> Date: Wednesday, 19 May, 2010, 5:31 PM sonali dhindwal skrev: > Hello All > This question may sound trivial to many, but as i am new to this field, > please help. > I want to ask a question regarding my previous query of distortion of protein > strucutre after molecular dynamcs simulation. > I have noticed that after enegry minimisation using steepest decent algorithm, using emtol of 1000 kJ mol^-1 nm^-1 , large amount of distortion occurs. > So is it necessary to do enegry minimisation step before MD, because this is > my modeled protein, and i have already done energy minimisation using > different program and after that I have done refinement also. > Thanks and regards > ^ > > > -- > Sonali Dhindwal > > So how has your system setup changed since your previous EM?
