[gmx-users] Dihedral angle in OPLS-AA force field
Dear All, I have a basic question on Dihedral angle in OPLS-AA force field. I read some of the papers related to development of OPLS force field where they have different formula for calculating the torsion angle I think that is Ryckaert-Bellemans function, but there is no separate term for Improper dihedral term. when I tried to run a simulation using OPLS-AA force field gromacs 3.2.1 version (pdb2gmx option 3) I got following energy terms in my log file. Energies (kJ/mol) Bond Angle Proper Dih. Ryckaert-Bell. LJ-14 1.15231e+03 2.92374e+031.73760e+021.32334e+031.86599e+03 Coulomb-14 LJ (SR) LJ (LR) Coulomb (SR)Coulomb (LR) 5.03326e+03 1.39004e+05 -1.66722e+03-9.54632e+05-5.37046e+04 Potential Kinetic En.

So its mean Proper Dih. which I am getting, In reality it is Improper Dihedral? and Ryckaert-Bell for proper dihedral, (please correct me if I am wrong).But in original OPLS force field Improper Dihedral was not defined so how we can justify uses of Improper Dihedral.

Re: [gmx-users] Gromacs version
Hi Raghu, First of all, if all conditions are equal the two simulations should be drawn from the same ensemble and should for that reason be "comparable". However, some routines have changed and we don't really know whether and how this might influence the ensemble. The best way to check is to compare simulations. But for that you either need full convergence or need to have more than one simulation run with each force field (keeping all other conditions equal).

Re: [gmx-users] May I use "-b" and "- e" in the cosine con tent calculation of PC?
Hi Mao-Cai Yan, A high cosine content usually means you're not in equilibrium, or your trajectory includes the part in which the system is going to equilibrium. Now, apparently, you're not interested in equilibrium, but rather in some event of change, which may be required to go from the starting structure to the equilibrium state or may be a common transition in equilibrium (in which case you should definitely observe it more often before claiming anything regarding equilibrium). A high cosine content in itself is not a qualitative check for your simulation or fof the principal components extracted from it. It merely indicates that you're looking at an event of change of your system, which can be the relaxation from the starting structure or an undersampled transition, common to your equilibrium state. To say anything about equilibrium it would also be better to look at the RMSD from the time averaged structure obtained at the end of the simulation, which is a much better indicator than the RMSD from the starting structure. Note that the number of possible conformations increases rapidly with increasing RMSD, and you'll find the RMSD level off well before you have true convergence. For larger systems this may take 15-25 ns or more! Hope it helps, Tsjerk On 9/11/06, David van der Spoel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: M.

Re: [gmx-users] constraint distance

[gmx-users] May I use "-b" and "- e" in the cosine co n tent calculation of PC?
Thank you, Tsjerk & David. Judging from RMSD and other analysis, the system has been in well equilibrium at 5 ns; (however, the cosine contents of last 25 ns and whole 30 ns are also higher than 0.7.) The RMSD during the last 25 nanoseconds (compared to the conformation at 5ns) is within 0.25 nm. After read your letter, I think that the PC1 may be useful, but it cannot represent the global motion of the protein very well because it has not been sampled sufficiently; that is, the significant conformation change observed in PC1 may in fact occur BY ACCIDENT. Did I understand right? And do you think it will help if I perform multiple MD simulations to test the reproducibility, just as David suggested? (It is quite time-consuming.) Best regards.

[gmx-users] genion causing atom to be in multiple T-Coupling groups
Dear Users, I'm hoping for an answear on my problem with neutralizing my system adding 3 Cl ions with genion. When running grompp after genion with the new generated .gro file I get this error: Fatal error: Atom 33000 in multiple T-Coupling groups (15 and 1) which is the last water atom (total in system 33003) and groups 15 and 1 are Cl and protein groups if I on the other hand do not neutralize the system the run goes fine! When looking into the .ndx file atom 33000 is in 4 groups; 0 (system), 11 (non-protein), 14 (SOL) and 16 (other). How can I change the group definitions and make sure the groups do not overlap and to be unique? It seems to be something wrong with how the genion works for me. I followed the tutorial and chose the SOL group and water molecules were replaced by the Cl ions. Than I modifyed the .top file and took 3 sol molecules and added the 3 ions.

I agree that a comment in the restrains section of Chapter 4 would be in order. The truth that you can only use restraints between atoms of the same molecule is clearly implied by Table 5.4, but that's a bit oblique.

You choose the T-Coupling groups from among those in the .ndx file (or from the default groups in its absence, as you're doing here) and specify them in the .mdp file. Thus you should look there first of all. You need to use a disjoint set of T-Coupling groups, so this error is consistent with not having done that. If you were using .ndx file (which you aren't), it might be possible your .ndx file doesn't correspond to your post-genion structure and something weird happens. I'd expect GROMACS woud die with a more helpful error in such a case though.

[gmx-users] Free energy, frozen atoms and exclusions
Hi all, I'm trying to calculate solvation free energies and I've found something "strange". The thing is I'm interested in free energy of rigid molecules (I consider other contributions separately), typically a small solute molecule in water. I'm making a test with methanol. The setup is a frozen methanol molecule in a box of of water molecules. Since I'm considering rigid molecules, I create an .itp file with no bonded terms, just atoms (with charges and LJ). The methanol molecule is called MOH, and I have this in the .mdp: energy_grps = MOH energygrp_excl = MOH MOH freezegrps = MOH freezedim= y y y which should freeze the methanol and disregard all nonbonded terms between the methanol atoms (and there are no bonded terms). Well, after the usual equilibration and such, I get this output for the initial configuration with lambda=1: LJ (SR): 5.70341e+03 Coulomb (SR): -3.65377e+04 ... dVpot/dlambda: 2.81161e+02 It seems right, but after simulation for several lambda values I get a free energy of around 10 times what I would expect. Now I repeat exactly the same simulation, but adding all pairs of methanol atoms in the [exclusions] of the .itp file. For the same initial configuration as before, I get this: LJ (SR): 5.70341e+03 Coulomb (SR): -3.65377e+04 ... dVpot/dlambda: 2.14385e+00 (the only difference is in dVpot/dlambda). This (if I extrapolate) would give a much more sensible value for the free energy. As far as I could understand, having "energygrp_excl = MOH MOH" should be the same as putting all atoms in the [exclusions] section, but it obviously isn't, at least when it comes to calculating dVpot/dlambda. Is there something I'm missing? A bug/feature in the code? A limitation? Thanks in advance PS. As a side question, I'd say that, if I have a frozen molecule it would be best *not* to remove the center of mass motion (not even of the rest of the system). Am I right? ___ Try the all-new Yahoo!

Note that there are still issues with freeze-groups and pressure scaling as the rest of the system scales around your frozen atoms.

Thanks. Would that account for such a large difference, considering it's a neutral molecule (and at lambda=1, with no partial charges)? Well... since it's the derivative, and that means the free energy change from lambda=0 to lambda=1... yes that could be it. Is this mentioned in the manual? 'Cause I read about the [exclusions] section and it gives the advice to use energygrp_excl, but doesn't warn about this. Would normal Ewald or reaction field work as (I) expected? I guess I will keep using PME anyway, if it's as easy as adding the [exclusions]. > But why do you want to freeze the methonal? > Things would be much easier with a free methanol. At the moment this is only a test. I need the method to work for arbitrary molecules for which there are no force field parameters, only LJ. The atomic charges and intramolecular contributions I get them from other QM/MM calculations. I also need to compare with other rigid-body simulations. I'm not saying this is the best way to calculate free energies, but it's the way I need now :) Thanks a lot for the reply! PS.

[gmx-users] OPLS-AA force field again regarding 1-4 interaction
Thanks David for your reply, I have a another doubt on OPLS force field regarding 1-4 interaction. In manual (chapter 4 page no 62) it was written The use of RB potential implies exclusion of LJ interaction between first and the last atom of the dihedral (mean 1-4 interaction).So why I am getting LJ-14 and Coulomb-14 energy in my log file (see below) is there is any problem in this simulation or it is normal?

Having actually looked back at my notes, here is what I did to extend pope.pdb into a larger system. However, the suggestion that I posted last time should work just as well. 1. Remove all waters 2. Duplicate the box until your heart's content. Make it larger than you actually want because the box will collapse to some extent. 3. MD with Z-only posre on lipid head groups (X and Y force components = zero). This step must be done with constant pressure (In this procedure, make sure to use isotropic pressure coupling so that the box max and min z don't come into contact with the membrane). NOTE for step 3: It is assumed that your edges line up with each other. Load the system into vmd and show periodic unit cells to make sure. If they line up poorly then I would find a new starting PDB. However, pope.pdb lines up well. 4. Adjust the z-dimension to what you want it to be, center your membrane in the z if you want to. 5. solvate the system. 6. Remove any waters that were placed within the membrane 7. energy minimize 8. posre run as before to allow the water to adjust to the membrane surfaces. However, during this run (and all the rest of the steps) I use semiisotropic Pcoupling. 9. equilibration phase without any position restraints 10. production run. If you are going to add protein, you could do that with the results of step 4 since most procedures involve stripping out any waters anyway. Again, the procedure that I outlined previously should work, but I have not tested that procedure, only this one. ___ gmx-users mailing listgmx-users@gromacs.org http://www.gromacs.org/mailman/listinfo/gmx-users Please don't post (un)subscribe requests to the list.

Only the 1-4 interactions spanning RB potentials should be excluded from LJ-14 and coulomb-14. For example, lipid headgroups may be treated without RB's and the acyl chains treated with RB's. If you want to see where things are coming from, make an index file and then use enerygrps in your .mdp so that g_energy can give you some useful output for further testing. Look at your [ pairs ] section in your .itp file. Those are the source of the LJ-14 and Coulomb-14 energies. >and what I understood from articles on OPLS force field that it scale down >the LJ-14 and Coulomb-14 energy my a factor of two? as it is specify in >ffoplsaa.itp file >what about GROMOS96 force field, it is mention in manual (Chapter 4 page >no 75) it also scale down the LJ-14 repulsion term . >what I understood by manual that It uses separate parameter for LJ-14 >interaction Is it is correct? If yes then It uses separate parameters only >for LJ repulsive term or all the non bonded terms i.e. LJ repulsive,LJ >attractive and for coulomb term? The .itp file for your molecules will have the information that you are after. 1. The [ pairs ] section is a list that defines what 1-4 interactions exist. If a 1-4 pair is not in the [ pairs ] section, LJ-14 and Coulomb-14 interactions will not be included in the energies. **That's a good test for you right there. Remove all entries from the [ pairs ] section and your 1-4 energies should drop to zero. 2. The charges for 1-4 interactions are the normal ones, and FudgeQQ will be applied. 3. The LJ sigma / epsilon parameters will be taken from [ pairs ] if they are there, or (second in hiearchy) from [ pairtypes ] if they are there, or (third in hiearchy) generated from the regular non-bonded parameters if gen-pairs=yes. In this third case, FudgeLJ is applied. Each force-field has its own rules (e.g. gen-pairs and FudgeLJ/QQ), but these apply to the information outlined above. For example, gen-pairs does NOT mean "generate a [ pairs ] section for the molecule." Instead, it means "If LJ-14 epsilon and sigma are not present in a [ pairs ] section entry, and that type of interaction is not explicitly formulated in [ pairtypes ], then it is permissible to use the regular non-bonded parameters, and in that case scale them by FudgeLJ." OPLS-AA uses gen-pairs=yes, Force-fields that use gen-pairs=no (GROMOS96 I think) will have a very large [ pairtypes ] section. FudgeLJ is not used when gen-pairs=no, but FudgeQQ is always used. Note that it is perfectly reasonable to scale the 1-4 FudgeQQ/LJ and set gen-pairs=no. If there is still misunderstanding, do a search for {pairs pairtypes}. Also, if your main concern is ensuring that you don't have any 1-4 interactions where you shouldn't then I would recommend drawing out your molecule and making sure that you don't have any RB dihedrals defined with an overlapping entry in the [ pairs ] section. However, this is not absolutely going to work because it gets complicated sometimes. Eg: I have yet to figure out exactly why things are treated as they are in the [ pairs ] section for two non-RB double-bonded carbons in the middle of a long chain of RB carbons :: more specifically I am referring to lipid acyl chains with a double bond (for example pope.itp from Dr. Tieleman).
