What's pr?

If you mean protein, does it make sense to find the diffusion coefficient of a 
protein within DNA? What does it make sense to find a diffusion coefficient in?

No, you probably don't. "within" and "to" mean different things. You probably 
want to measure something about the diffusion of your protein in water (the 
solvent!) in the presence of DNA.

If you're trying to deduce something about the frequency of protein-DNA binding 
events, then you'll probably need a ridiculously long and large simulation with 
lots of such events in order to deduce anything comparable with any 
experimental data.

2010-06-29 Thread pawan raghav
Dear Justin,

Thanks for the wonderful suggestions which is very clear and informative but
I am confused about some points below

1. Actually my protein is human mitochondrial protein so I have used GROMOS
96 53a6 ff. is it correct? but you have mentioned about the condition
applied, so I don't understand this point because I have a normal protein
which bind on the mitochondrial membrane. So according to you which
conditions should i applied? which preferences you are talking about? Due to
have limited configuration of our hardware we are using core2duo single
processor with 4 GB RAM. So dear please suggest me the concise requirements
for this simulation.

2. My protein does not depend on the temperature that means it is not
thermophilic or mesophilic protein. So for large simulations is it correct
to apply REMD technique. I think that ED sampling should be best but don't
know which should be taken for reference structure. I have tell you about my
system and protein so please suggest me the sampling technique is effective
in my protein case.

3. I know about the energy conservation but don't know about the simulation
stability. So please also tell me is PCA should be performed for simulation
stability or something else analysis should be performed.

4. Why 4-5 fs is more effecient than 3fs?

Well if you have a trajectory that diffuses the protein to your DNA, then 
measure the diffusion coefficient by choosing the protein group in g_rmsd. The 
analysis program doesn't need to know why you chose that trajectory.

Finding a meaningful set of such a trajectories can be tough, however.

It is not clear what exactly you want. To observe as one molecule
moves in relation to another one? If this would have been my task, I
would introduce some specific function of the distance between them vs
time. Is it not easier just to calculate two diffusion constants
corresponding to your particles of interest?

Is it equilibrium MD that you perform?

Now here is a major consideration.  Are you modeling the membrane as well, or

you which conditions should i applied? which preferences you are talking 
about? Due to have limited configuration of our hardware we are using

No.  You have to do your own homework.  The most challenging part of any 
simulation is planning it.  You have to do the legwork of reading about the 
protein force fields, and maybe the lipid force fields as well (which you 
haven't mentioned).


2. My protein does not depend on the temperature that means it is not 
thermophilic or mesophilic protein. So for large simulations is it 
correct to apply REMD technique. I think that ED sampling should be best 
but don't know which should be taken for reference structure. I have 
tell you about my system and protein so please suggest me the sampling 
technique is effective in my protein case.
 


The type of method you employ is based on what you want to observe.  You said 
you wanted to sample loop dynamics, for which you can either run several 
simulations at the relevant (physiological?) temperature and analyze those 
results to obtain some averages, or you can apply REMD.  I don't know how useful 
ED/PCA would be here, but it is a post-processing analysis technique, so it 
won't help you in sampling.


3. I know about the energy conservation but don't know about the 
simulation stability. So please also tell me is PCA should be performed 
for simulation stability or something else analysis should be performed.
 


These two concepts are unrelated.  Stability simply means the model physics 
doesn't break down and your simulation actually runs.



4. Why 4-5 fs is more effecient than 3fs?



I mentioned this for several reasons.  First, you collect more data faster.  But 
if you're using lipids (note how this is a major consideration!) then preparing 
these topologies is not trivial.  You basically have to write the topology by 
hand.  Processing a protein with virtual sites is easy with pdb2gmx.  Second, I 
have a minor pet peeve when I see a 3 fs timestep in the literature along with a 
claim like "simulations were conducted for 100 ns using a 3 fs timestep." 
That's mathematically impossible, so I think the reporting is inaccurate.  But 
that's just me :)  And besides, if you're going to extend the timestep, why not 
go all the way and really utilize the performance GROMACS offers?

etc. Now, you might be right, but you might as well be jumping to
conclusions.

[gmx-users] multiple time step

multiple timesteps are not possible as far as gromacs 4.0.7. NAMD can do this.

[gmx-users] different ref_t

2010-06-29 Thread chris . neale
Can you please supply gen_temp and also your pressure coupling values?  
Also, please supply the g_energy values that show the temperatures  
changing as you suggest (with accompanying timestep info).


I'm fairly sure that what is happening is that you are simply seeing  
the nose-hoover oscillations (possibly coupled to your pressure  
coupling fluctuations) and since your CHCl3 is presumably very small  
then you see a larger effect on it.


I'd suggest doing a few tests: 1. Increase tau_t to 0.1 or perhaps 0.4  
(I don't use nose-hoover, but your value seems small). 2. Run longer  
and see if it is indeed a fluctuation and not just a trend to zero. 3.  
Why not try the SD integrator?


And a PS that I'm simply assuming that you know what you're doing with  
2 different temperatures since you didn't ask for advice on that part.


Chris.

-- original message --

I try to simulate a small peptide in CHCl3 there the
peptide is couplet to a heat bath at a different
temperature:

tcoupl  =  nose-hoover
tc-grps =  Protein+PTS+AIC CHCl3
tau_t   =  0.01 0.01
ref_t   =  220  300

If I do so the temperature of the CHCl3 molecules drop down
to almost 0K and the temperature of the peptide increases
significantly. Has someone any experience with such a
system and can give me a hint what to do?

Thanks a lot

Re: Antw: [gmx-users] multiple time step

2010-06-29 Thread Erik Marklund

Hi,

I don't know what you aim to study, but consider the benefits and 
drawbacks of the programs and integration algorithms carefully if you 
want to use the multiple timestep algorithm to perform speedy 
calculations. More specifically: Is e.g NAMD with the multiple timestep 
algorithm really faster than gromacs with a uniform timestep? If you on 
the other hand want to compare integration schemes or something along 
those lines, then it's another matter of course.

Re: [gmx-users] Re: multiple time step

2010-06-29 Thread Erik Marklund

Hi,

The core developers have the answer for this one, but I can make an 
educated guess:


Implementing it would mean a LOT of work and the rewards are small. The 
latter because most particles will have rougly the same oscillation 
period if one uses all-atom forcefields and turn on virtual sites and 
constrains the bonds, hence the point of having multiple time steps is lost.

[gmx-users] ED sampling

2010-06-29 Thread vijaya subramanian

Hi
I need some information about how ED sampling works when 
a subset of the atoms are used for covariance analysis.  Basically I would like 
to
move the system along the first eigenvector obtained from covariance analysis 
of the
C-alpha atoms only.  From the paper "Toward an Exhaustive Sampling of the 
Configurational Spaces of two forms of the Peptide Hormone Guanylin"  it 
appears only the C-alpha atoms are used  to define
the essential subspace but when I use the following commands, I get an error 
message saying:


Fatal error:
Nr of atoms in edsamp26-180fit.edi (4128) does not match nr of md atoms (294206)

The commands are:
tpbconv -s full180.tpr -f full180.trr -extend 5 -o edsam26-180f180.tpr -e 
full180.edr
aprun -n 60 $GROMACS_DIR/bin/mdrun -s edsam26-180f180.tpr -nosum -o

The ED sampling method I am using is  linfix not radacc.

[gmx-users] REMD

2010-06-29 Thread pawan raghav
Dear Justin,

No dear I have not modelled the membrane, my protein is a simple protein
which contained a loop about 59 amino acids. So I am intrested to model this
loop through MD simulation. In this concerned I did 15 ns simulations, but
right now don't know how to perform sampling for my protein (which is not a
membrane, thermophilic or mesophilic protein) on same temperature i.e. 300k.
In this regard is it correct to perform REMD, if yes then tell me how to
perform it on single CPU? I am asking from you again to sure I can perform
ot is it right to use REMD in my protein condition which in not a
thermophilic protein. I think that REMD can only apply to those proteins
which are thermophilic or mesophilic. please comment on this.


Yes I wanted to sample loop dynamics, for which you have mentioned to run
several simulations at the relevant (physiological?) temperature. Is it mean
to run several (2,3,4..etc) diferent simulations at different time steps
like 10ns, 15ns, 20ns, 30 ns etc. and analyze those results to obtain some
averages from each and every simulations but it gives several averages
values then how to sample all these simulations and finally how to get the
average from these simulations.

REMD has nothing to do with whether or not the protein is thermophilic.  Please 
do some background reading on the technique.  You need multiple processors to 
run the simulation.  The different replicates must be run concurrently so that 
they may periodically exchange.


Since you are not modeling a membrane, I again wonder how you settled on the 
force field you did.  Not that I think there's anything wrong with 53A6 (except 
for a bias towards extended structures, which you would have discovered with a 
bit of background reading).  Just be prepared to justify your choice to a 
critical audience...

My suggestion was to run several simulations of equivalent length (such that the

simulation, but also among all of them.

[gmx-users] Replicating monomer units

2010-06-29 Thread Moeed
Hello Justin,

I spent a full day to find a proper value for -d but it seems there is no
way of getting  correct bond lenght and angle at the same time. With the
following commands I am getting correct bond length for the atoms connecting
two monomer units but the angle is 140. I get 110 angle only when bond
distance is much less than actual value (1.53 A). I have also tried monomer
units with 6, 8, 10 carbon atoms. For 8 and 10 cases I can not even align
carbons with the axis using princ. This proper geometry problem seems to be
a very simple thing to figure out but I have reached no results. I would
like you to provide me with a hint or suggestion...I appreciate your help.

There are two approaches.

1. Use a semi-correct geometry and run energy minimization to resolve any weird 
bonds/angles.


2. Orient your 4-carbon unit properly :)  This requires special index groups for 
the structure you've generated.  The 4-carbon unit is not changed when using 
editconf -princ.  If you use this index file:


[ special ]
  1  3
[ all ]
  1  2  3  4

Run:

editconf -f C4.gro -o C4_princ.gro -n index.ndx -princ

(Choose group 1 for determining the size, 0 for the orientation, and 1 for 
output)

Then your structure is actually aligned perfectly with the x-axis.  Using 
genconf should be simple at that point.  A little bit of trigonometry will help 
you figure out the proper value of -d.  If you still can't get that to work out, 
then approach #1 may work fine.

[gmx-users] mdrun_mpi issue.

2010-06-29 Thread quantrum75
Hi Folks,
I am trying to run a simulation under GMX 4.0.5. When I do a qsub of my job, it 
does not seem to run and gives me an error saying the library libimf.so is not 
available. I tried subsequently giving/copying the library into the run path 
with still the exact same error. I am attaching the .job file and error file 
for your perusal. I d be glad for any ideas since I tried quite a few without 
much help.
Thanks in advance
Rama

[gmx-users] Script for detecting interfaces

2010-06-29 Thread Dallas B. Warren
A couple of months ago someone mentioned a recent publication that went
through a procedure for the detection of an interface / surface between
phases for data from MD.  Remember reading the publication and thinking
was pretty neat and need to come back and try it.  Well, for the life of
me can't find it now, through my links, publication database, googling,
literature search etc.  Does anyone recall what it was or where I can
find it?

[gmx-users] automating analysis using shell scripting

2010-06-29 Thread Hassan Shallal
Dear Gromacs users,
 
This question is much more of a linux shell scripting than of Gromacs. I have 
several distances to measure in my produced system for which I use g_dist. I 
need to shell script this so I don't have to set next to the machine while 
measuring those distances. The problem I face is that g_dist, and others like 
g_rms and g_rmsf, asks for input of the number of the group with or without an 
index file. My question is, how can I use shell scripting to answer those 
questions given by g_dist, giving it the number of the groups which is usually 
0 an 1 using an index file of two atoms in the system?  
 
By doing this I can write a shell script of several g_dist lines, each is 
concerned with a specific distance, the shell script can input the number oif 
the groups to be measured, and I can do another experiment or go to the gym, or 
even cook something for dinner until it's done, lol
 
Has anyone of you tried doing this?
 
Thanks alot

If this installation used to work, then something's changed with the system 
setup. Consult your sysadmins or compiler docs on how to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
and/or LD_RUN_PATH environment variables so that run-time linking works like it 
needs to. Or, set up fully static linking.

[gmx-users] REMD

2010-06-29 Thread pawan raghav
Dear Justin,

I have read manual there was an equation where T1 and T2 are the two
temperatrure will be assign but in my case I don't have different
temperature. I have to simulate at same temperature.

Is there any other alternative to perform sampling rather than REMD. I am
working on one processor so kindly suggest me the best for sampling.

The force field which I have used was taken reference from paper. so please
inform me if any thing wrong.

... and if you'd read the accompanying text you'd understand why different 
temperatures are required.

REMD, coarse-graining, united-atom force fields, implicit solvation are all 
approaches that can be used to *enhance* the sampling per unit of computation, 
depending how you evaluate the inherent trade-offs. Some good textbook material 
will cover these ideas...

Judging that what others have done is suitable also for your case is something 
that only you can do.

[gmx-users] multiple time step

2010-06-29 Thread chris . neale
I recall seeing something online about how gromacs developers have  
decided to focus on increasing the overall speed and allowing  
generally large timesteps (via e.g. angle constraints) vs.  
implementing multiple timestepping (no mailing list ref. sorry). I  
agree that this is not a logically exclusive decision -- PME takes  
>20% of the time so if they were doing it only 1/2 as often then  
there is the possibility of a real speedup. Nevertheless, it would  
need to be tested and perhaps the developers have indeed run these  
tests -- I've simply not seen the results. One would think, though,  
that PME could nearly always be done less often than, for example,  
bonded interactions.


I agree with Erik that the work would be large, but I disagree that  
the benefits would be small -- although I suspect that neither of us  
has any data to support such claims :).


Unfortunately, the bottom line is that this is free software and if  
you want it then you can code it. Or at the very least, you should  
benchmark the benefits on NAMD and then submit an "enhancement"  
bugzilla.


Chris.


-- original message --

The core developers have the answer for this one, but I can make an
educated guess:

Implementing it would mean a LOT of work and the rewards are small. The
latter because most particles will have rougly the same oscillation
period if one uses all-atom forcefields and turn on virtual sites and
constrains the bonds, hence the point of having multiple time steps is lost.

Vitaly Chaban skrev:

Chris,

An interesting question...

BTW, is there any philosophy of gromacs developers to avoid this
algorithm in the MD engine?

Vitaly




multiple timesteps are not possible as far as gromacs 4.0.7. NAMD  
can do this.



-- original message --

Is it possible to carry out  multiple time step  molecular
dynamics simulations
in Gromacs
4.0. versions ? Could you
please give me some information about this issue ?

Thank you very much for your attention.
