Hi Tsjerk,
Thanks for your more clarification, but when I am running the command
editconf -f pr.gro -o new_box.gro -density 1.04364e+03 (where pr.gro
is end.gro) the results I am getting are...
Read 12348 atoms
Volume: 97.5411 nm^3, corresponds to roughly 43800 electrons
Velocities found
system size : 7.244 4.992 5.194 (nm)
center : 0.534 2.027 2.438 (nm)
box vectors : 4.444 4.857 5.138 (nm)
box angles : 88.30 107.40 112.20 (degrees)
box volume : 97.54 (nm^3)
Volume of input 97.5411 (nm^3)
Mass of input 95417.2 (a.m.u.)
Density of input 1624.38 (g/l)
Scaling all box vectors by 1.1589
new system size : 8.395 5.785 6.019
new center : 0.618 2.349 2.825 (nm)
new box vectors : 5.150 5.628 5.955 (nm)
new box angles : 88.30 107.40 112.20 (degrees)
new box volume : 151.82 (nm^3)
This new box volume is not matching with my average box volume
(97.6118). I think problem is with mass because my system (box)
contains 1 protein, 2595 water molecules(Tip4p-EW),and 8 CL ions. So
the total mass should be 61307.332 a.m.u. (14313.332+18*2595+8*35.50)
and when I am calculating the density using this mass and average
volume (97.6118), its coming 1042.94 g/l which is approximately same
to average density (1.04364e+03).
I would greatly appreciate if you could please let me know why
editconf is giving mass different from actual mass (my calculated
mass).
Thanks & Regards,
Navjeet Ahalawat
>Navjeet,
>The average lengths you already mentioned in your first mail:
>>> Box-X Box-Y Box-Z Volume Density (SI)
>>> 4.44479e+00 4.49781e+00 4.88259e+00 9.76118e+01 1.04364e+03
>You also mentioned you used isotropic PC:
>>> I did NPT simulation for 30 ns using triclinic box (-angles 88.30,
>>> 107.40, 112.20) and Isotropic pressure coupling.
Then the box only gets scaled during the simulation, with no changes
of one vector relative to the other. Then to set the box of your end
structure to match the average volume also means scaling. That means
taking the ratio of the average X-length and the actual X-length, and
feed that as a scaling factor...
Then again, you don't actually need to calculate anything, just think
a little bit harder. You're average box comes with an average density.
editconf has an option to scale the box to get a specific density, so
you can fetch the average density, given above and do:
editconf -f end.gro -o average.gro -density 1.04364e+03
Then go on with your NVT run using average.gro as input (don't forget
the energy minimization!).
Hope it helps,
Tsjerk
