Okey,
now I tried it without any fixed residues. But still the energy after the
minimization is not very low and I still get the LINCS warnings.
The mdp file I use for the minimization looks like this:
define = -DPOSRES
integrator = steep
emtol = 10
nsteps = 1500
nstenergy = 1
energygrps = System
coulombtype = PME
rcoulomb = 0.9
rvdw = 0.9
rlist = 0.9
fourierspacing = 0.12
pme_order = 4
ewald_rtol = 1e-5
pbc = xyz
the mdp file for the md run looks like this:
define = -DPOSRES
integrator = md
dt = 0.001
nsteps = 5000
nstxout = 100
nstvout = 0
nstfout = 0
nstlog = 1000
nstxtcout = 500
nstenergy = 5
energygrps = Protein Non-Protein
nstcalcenergy = 5
nstlist = 10
ns-type = Grid
pbc = xyz
rlist = 0.9
coulombtype = PME
rcoulomb = 0.9
rvdw = 0.9
fourierspacing = 0.12
pme_order = 4
ewald_rtol = 1e-5
gen_vel = yes
gen_temp = 200.0
gen_seed = 9999
constraints = all-bonds
tcoupl = V-rescale
tc-grps = Protein Non-Protein
tau_t = 0.1 0.1
ref_t = 298 298
pcoupl = no
The output of the minimization run is:
Steepest Descents converged to machine precision in 15 steps,
but did not reach the requested Fmax < 10.
Potential Energy = -7.9280412e+05
Maximum force = 1.0772942e+04 on atom 979
Norm of force = 9.6685356e+01
The output of the MD run is:
Step 1031, time 1.031 (ps) LINCS WARNING
relative constraint deviation after LINCS:
rms 0.001431, max 0.010707 (between atoms 976 and 979)
bonds that rotated more than 30 degrees:
atom 1 atom 2 angle previous, current, constraint length
976 979 81.6 0.1272 0.0970 0.0960
The atom 979 is the hydrogen atom on the phosphate. There has to be one
hydrogen atoms because it is protonated once. The other atom 976 is the
oxygen atom where the hydrogen atom is bound to.
The bounding parameters for this kind of binding were already there. I
didn't add them.
I already did it for another phosphorylation on another position in this
structure. And here I also got many LINCS errors. And again the problem is
the connection between the hydrogen atom and the oxygen atom.
But I do not understand why.
Can you please help me?!
