Hi,Xavier,
Thank you for your reply. The method I used is from previous tutorial,
which goes like this:
" Martini + simple elastic network
The first option to help preserve higher-order structure of proteins is to add
to the standard Martini topology extra harmonic bonds between non-bonded beads
based on a distance cutoff. Note that in standard Martini, long harmonic bonds
are used to impose the secondary structure of extended elements (sheets) of the
protein.
1. Generate a coarse-grained PDB structure you want to use as the reference
structure.
2. Generate a list of distances between all beads within a certain distance.The
GROMACS tool genrestr is well suited for this. First generate an index file
containing only those beads you want to consider, the standard option would be
the backbone beads.
genrestr -f cg.pdb -n index -constr -o constraints
3. Select those restraints you want to keep, based on a lower and upper cutoff.
In adding to Martini you would not want to duplicate already existing bonds, so
the ”select restr.pl” script (protein_tutorial.tar.gz) includes a lower cut-off
value. The example below selects all instances from the full list in
”constraints.itp” with a distance between 0.5 and 0.9 nm and generates a
harmonic bond with a force constant of 500 kJ mol-1 nm-2.
./select_restr.pl constraints.itp 0.5 0.9 500 > AddElBonds.itp
4. Paste the resulting file into the standard Martini topology for the protein
(protein.itp) in the section [ bonds ].
5. Proceed as before and start a production run."
If there is any problem, what is the problem please? In the new script
martinize.py, when typing "martinize.py -h" , this description show up
"
Elastic network: Fij = Fc exp( -a (rij - lo)**p )
-elastic Write elastic bonds (not working yet)
-elnedyn Use Elnedyn mapping and parameters with elastic network
-ef Elastic bond force constant Fc
-el Elastic bond lower cutoff: F = Fc if rij < lo
-eu Elastic bond upper cutoff: F = 0 if rij > up
-ea Elastic bond decay factor a
-ep Elastic bond decay power p
-em Remove elastic bonds with force constant lower than this
-eb Comma separated list of bead names for elastic bonds
-cgo PyMOL CGO file for elastic network visualization
"
Is my understanding about the line " -elastic Write elastic bonds (not
working yet) " verbally wrong or it is already working please?
Thank you very much for your reply? Is there any way to get the old version
of select_restr.pl please?
Thanks,
Hualin

Subject: Re: [gmx-users] Martini force field: elastic network
The website has been updated to fit a CG tutorial starting monday in
Lausanne.
The manner of the construction you describe in your email is not the
proper way to do it!
The new script is doing it properly.
If you want the old script to only generate the elastic network (as it
seems from your email) you may have it or use the scripts from the
ElNeDyn approach.
