Hi Justin (and gmx-users),

I've been looking into using g_sham for the free energy landscapes, however
I'm not sure what variables I should plot ... could I just use the g_energy
(potential) outputs to produce the energy landscape??  Other examples I've
seen using g_sham have done quite in depth eigenvector projections before
plotting them using g_sham.


The free energy of potential energy is probably not a meaningful quantity ;)

What inputs would I require in order to determine how loading rate an
increased loading rate on the simulation would change the force results?

I know I'm probably being completely dumb but my use of maths has been
sporadic to say the least in the last 7 years ... so getting back into it is
proving more confusing!


You haven't provided a lot of detail about what you're doing, what you've measured, or what you hope to achieve. In general, one plots two variables (one on each axis), and g_sham calculates a free energy based simply on the probability of occurrence of these values. For instance, for protein folding experiments, often the RMSD relative to the known structure is one variable, and something else like native contacts or hydrogen bonds is plotted as the other variable. The free energy surface is then generated as a function of intramolecular association and similarity to a known structure.

I was recently told in passing that it would be possible to construct a 'potential energy landscape' from the simulations I have performed. This
way I could remove any loading rate differences between simulations and
experimental force experiments I've been performing ... however I cannot
find anywhere in which this is mentioned.

The only thing close I could find that was close was the free energy landscape using g_anaeig under the Dihedral PCA (http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/How-tos/Dihedral_PCA?highlight=dihedral+pca <http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/How-tos/Dihedral_PCA?highlight=dihedral+pca>)
 however, I'm not sure this is what I'm looking for.

Does anyone know where I would be able to find out / read more about how to
create potential energy landscapes from my simulation outputs?


g_sham produces free energy landscapes for any variables plotted against one another.
