[gmx-users] Dihedral angle in OPLS-AA force field

2006-09-11 Thread alokjain
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.   Total Energy   TemperaturePressure (bar)
-8.58528e+05   1.57277e+05   -7.01250e+053.04174e+02   -4.80269e+01

so I am getting two proper dihedral term in output(Proper Dih. and
Ryckaert-Bell.).But when I checked the ffoplsaabon.itp file I got
following comments

 Improper OPLS dihedrals to keep groups planar.
; (OPLS doesnt use improper for chiral atoms).
; Since these functions are periodic of the form 1-cos(2*x), the are
; actually implemented as proper dihedrals [1+cos(2*x+180)] for the moment,
; to keep things compatible.

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.


Best regards,
Alok

Re: [gmx-users] Gromacs version

2006-09-11 Thread Tsjerk Wassenaar

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).

Best,

Tsjerk

Re: [gmx-users] May I use "-b" and "- e" in the cosine con tent calculation of PC?

2006-09-11 Thread Tsjerk Wassenaar

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

That depends, since you only see a single event in your 30 ns. It would
be more convincing if you could show that this is reproducible, by doing
multiple simulations with different conditions (e.g. velocities,
temperature, starting structure). If it then happens early on in the
simulations, and they all converge to the same structure as your 30 ns
simulation, then it would be convincing...

Re: [gmx-users] constraint distance

Hi Kanin,

The only way to get away with that is to merge your two parts to form
one molecule, with the only connection being a distance_restraint (or
another bonded term if you want to emulate bond-like behaviour such as
a salt-bridge).

[gmx-users] May I use "-b" and "- e" in the cosine co n tent calculation of PC?

2006-09-11 Thread M. Yan
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

2006-09-11 Thread Una Bjarnadottir

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.

What do your tcoupl groups look like?

Could it be System SOL?

The number may be confusing, you should subtract one from them when 
compared to the output from gmxcheck -n index.ndx
So it seems that atom 33000 (numbering in the coordinate file) is in 
groups 14 and 0. Maybe you should make a new index file after genion.
Note that it is good practice to make the ions part of the solvent T 
coupling group.

hello, Kay
 
thanks so much for your advice, but with -pbc cluster, one of the two 
peptides still move out of the box and frequently jump back.

i have no idea about it, any else should i do ?
 


merge the peptides into one protein (pdb2gmx -merge) and make a distance 
restraint between them with distance much larger than the actual 
distance. you only need to do this for post-processing the output, not 
for the simulation.




best regards,

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.

Read closely - "T-Coupling group", not "group". 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.

The number may be confusing, you should subtract one from them when

So it seems that atom 33000 (numbering in the coordinate file) is in 
groups 14 and 0. Maybe you should make a new index file after genion.
Note that it is good practice to make the ions part of the solvent T 
coupling group.


I made the indes file after running genion using the .gro output file from genion generating it.  Also I thought you would have to subtract one and it was groups 14 and 0 instead of 15 and 1.  How would I have the ions part of the solvent T coupling group?  By modifying the .top file to

[gmx-users] Free energy, frozen atoms and exclusions

2006-09-11 Thread Ignacio Fernández Galván
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?

Subject: [gmx-users] Free energy, frozen atoms and exclusions
Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2006 15:18:01 +0100 (BST)

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?


If you are using PME, the mesh contribution is not excluded when
using energygrp_excl, grompp should give you a warning about this.
Adding all the pairs as exclusions solves this problem.



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?


Yes.
Note that there are still issues with freeze-groups and pressure scaling
as the rest of the system scales around your frozen atoms.
There is currently no solution for this,
although slow coupling would help.

But why do you want to freeze the methonal?
Things would be much easier with a free methanol.

Berk.

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. The manual mentions using "no" for "comm_mode", but grompp prefers
"none" instead.

[gmx-users] constraint distance between ligand and protein

2006-09-11 Thread kanin wichapong
Hi All,    I would like to know how to make a distance constraint between the ligand and the protein. If I just merge two chain together by pdb2gmx, it can done if the two chain are both protein. However, if it is a ligand and protein, i can't merge together because there is no libraly for the ligand force field and then it can't generate the .itp or .top file

File input/output error: Can not determine precision of trn file

I noticed that there was a previous question about this error message. However,

[gmx-users] OPLS-AA force field again regarding 1-4 interaction

2006-09-11 Thread alokjain
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?

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?

Subject: [gmx-users] Re: Simulation problem with extended membrane system!

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.

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.

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).
