Hello:
I've got a question on energygrps options in .mdp file. This option is usually
used for establishing the groups for the energy output. I am going to study the
entropy changes of protein-ligand-SOL in a membrane system, I am just wondering
shall I specify each compoenent in energygrps option, like:
energygrps = Protein LIG SOL POPC
This setting will give you pairwise-decomposed nonbonded energies between these
groups, but it has nothing to do with entropy.
I am also going to use g_lie for interaction analysis, will the above options be
sufficient?
No. The LIE method requires a separate simulation of the ligand in water to
acquire ligand-water interaction energies. In the case of a heterogeneous
system like yours (including a membrane), I don't know that the LIE assumptions
hold since you don't necessarily have simple partitioning between aqueous and
protein-bound states.
If I forgot to assign the energygrps options in my md.mdp file during MD
simulations, is it any fast way to calculate the energy after MD instead of
running the simulation from beginning?
That's what mdrun -rerun is for.
I notice that there is a tool called g_lie can be used to evaluate
protein/ligand binding, I am just wondering is there any paper on this tool? I
don't find too much informations on gromacs manual.
Nor should you - the manual is not a definitive repository of all MD-related
knowledge :) The literature for LIE is extensive in terms of both primary
literature and review articles. Apply Google or your favorite scientific database.
