Hi Gianluca,

You might want to take a look at GromPy (https://github.com/GromPy/GromPy). This is a python interface to the GROMACS library. Amongst other applications, there is an option to perform grand-canonical Monte Carlo using GromPy. The necessary energy evaluations are performed using direct library calls to GROMACS. In this way it is possible to get around the possibly prohibitive file I/O in shell implementations that use the GROMACS executables. A paper on GromPy and GromPy/GCMC has recently been accepted in JCC, so more details will follow. In the meantime you can have a look at the code and the tutorial on the above website.

Good luck!

Cheers,
Rene

Hi Gianluca,

I forgot to say that the step of compute the energies is considered from pdb2gmx until g_energy.

Sorry about my oblivion.

Best regards,

    Hi Gianluca,

    Thanks your question.

    All steps to obtain a generation with 200 individuals, on average,
is 6 minutes for 1VII, example. In each generation I must converted my proteins Dihedral to Cartesian representation,
    compute the energies, choose the individuals which will go to
    reproduction, save previous population. This test was using one
    core of a conventional Desktop computer.

    The proteins, that I have tested my algorithm, vary from 20 to 56
    amino acids.

    Best regards,

        Thanks Enrico!

        Just wondering. How fast is it? Calling gromacs must have a
        lot of overhead. Also, do you call mdrun or does g_energy
        evaluate the energy?

            Hi,

            Although I don't work with MC simulation, I have used
            Gromacs to obtain energies and others
            protein features in my Evolutionary Algorithms (EA).

            In general lines, I created a script that calls Gromacs
            programs and the output of these
            programs, such as g_energy (I read its xvg file), I stored
            it at a specific file which is
            read by my algorithm and its values are put into my data
            structure. I call Gromacs either
            implicit or explicit solvent.

            My project is working with EA until now. However, the
            integration with GROMACS is able to
            work with other kind of algorithms such as MC. Actually,
            we have idea to work with MC. But,
            I don't know when it will be possible. If you want, we can
            talk about join these work.

            Best regards,

                 Hi!

                 I would like to use gromacs to perform Monte Carlo
            simulations in implicit
                 solvent of a protein near a surface. The protein is
            treated as a rigid body
                 whereas the surface is fix.

                 I see that there are plans to code MC into gromacs:

            http://www.gromacs.org/Developer_Zone/Programming_Guide/Monte_Carlo

                 Is there a preliminary version?

                 If not, I wonder whether anybody has tried to do MC
            with gromacs using IMD and
                 MDDriver:

            http://www.baaden.ibpc.fr/projects/mddriver/

                 Besides this. Is there an easy way to obtain the
            force field energy of a system
                 using gromacs? Would I have to run a 0-steps MD and
            read out the energy? I know
                 that this would have a big overhead in a MC
            simulation, but it might be worth
                 trying.

                 Thanks,
