Hi gromac friends
I am performing the justin tutorials on lipids
http://www.bevanlab.biochem.vt.edu/Pages/Personal/justin/gmx-tutorials
I am strugling now on 3rd steps
I have following queris regarding to steps ...
1. I increase the van der walls radii of carbon from the 0.15 to 0.375
> Is these also increases the vanderwall radii of protein ...??
If it increases the radii of protein , then how to add water in protein
core ...???
It will affect all carbon atoms. If you need to do something more specialized,
you'll probably have to use a different approach. The above suggestion is to
eliminate water from being placed within the lipid membrane.
2. What is the meaning of continue to adjust the van der waals radius of
carbon ???
Please comment in detail...
"Continue to adjust" = change the value until you get satisfactory results. The
value of 0.375 generally works well for me, but some lipids pack differently and
thus you may need to use a different value. For the tutorial, which uses DPPC,
0.375 should work fine.
3. After solvation I given the following command to ion addition
grompp -f ions.mdp -c solv.pdb -p topol.top -o ions.tpr
I got following reply ...
Back Off! I just backed up mdout.mdp to ./#mdout.mdp.8#

Somehow you've badly broken the topology. At this point, it's hard to say how.
