               Dear all,

               I came across a problem when I want to make the REMD
               trajectories continuous.

               What I did:

               1. 'demux.pl <http://demux.pl> <http://demux.pl>
        <http://demux.pl> REMD_0.log'                 --to get the
        'replica_index.xvg'


               2. 'trjcat -f ../REMD_*.xtc -o resort.xtc -demux
               ../replica_index.xvg'

               It seems smooth. But when I check the rmsd of the output
               0_resort.xtc, I found it's still discontinuous.. with big
        jumps
               about 0.5nm..! Could you help me to figure out what's wrong?
               Thanks a lot.


           Have you properly accounted for periodicity effects?

           -Justin


        It's the same after I remove periodicity by trjconv -pbc mol -ur
        compact ...

    One iteration of trjconv is not necessarily enough to produce a
    properly imaged trajectory.  What is going on in the trajectory when
    these spikes are occurring?

    -Justin

In VMD, it just seems to change to a different conformation...


Then it sounds like something has gone wrong with the demultiplexing. As for what that is, it's hard to say. Look into the .log file and resulting .xvg file (from demux.pl) to make sure that the proper exchanges were identified. Then try to determine from which replica that sudden change arose (i.e., in which of the original trajectories was that configuration present). Finding it should be relatively easy; just dump out the frames at that time point from each of the trajectories to see.

For further troubleshooting, it would also be useful to know your Gromacs version, in case there is some sort of bug. It is too early to tell, though, where the problem lies.

               Best,

               Qin
