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.

[gmx-users] Technical
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? -- Pawan -- gmx-users mailing listgmx-users@gromacs.org http://lists.gromacs.org/mailman/listinfo/gmx-users Please search the archive at http://www.gromacs.org/search before posting!

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.

So according to Now here is a major consideration. Are you modeling the membrane as well, or just the protein? If you are modeling the membrane, the choice of force field becomes more complicated. There are numerous lipid parameter sets - Berger and Kukol united-atom sets, OPLS-AA and CHARMM all-atom sets. 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. 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.

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? -Justin -- Pawan -- Justin A.

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.

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
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
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 edsam26-180f180.trr -x edsam26-180f180.xtc -ei edsamp26-180fit.edi -c edsam26-180f180.gro -e edsam26-180f180.edr -g edsam26-180f180.log The ED sampling method I am using is linfix not radacc.

[gmx-users] REMD
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. -- Pawan -- gmx-users mailing listgmx-users@gromacs.org http://lists.gromacs.org/mailman/listinfo/gmx-users Please search the archive at http://www.gromacs.org/search before posting!

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...

[gmx-users] Replicating monomer units
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. Thanks.

I would like you to provide me with a hint or suggestion...I appreciate your help. Thanks. 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. -Justin Great Red Owns Many ACres of Sand 4 1Eth C11 0.462 0.285 0.269 1Eth C22 0.325 0.216 0.269 1Eth C33 0.213 0.321 0.269 1Eth C44 0.075 0.255 0.269 0.53817 0.53817 0.53817 editconf -f 4C.pdb -o 4Cd-princ.gro -princ -d 0.075 -bt cubic genconf -f 4Cd-princ.gro -o 4Cd-rep.gro -nbox 5 1 1 4Cd-rep.gro: replicated units: Great Red Owns Many ACres of Sand 20 1Eth C11 0.462 0.285 0.269 0. 0. 0. 1Eth C22 0.325 0.216 0.269 0. 0. 0. 1Eth C33 0.213 0.321 0.269 0. 0. 0. 1Eth C44 0.075 0.255 0.269 0. 0. 0. 2Eth C15 1.000 0.285 0.269 0. 0. 0. 2Eth C26 0.863 0.216 0.269 0. 0. 0. 2Eth C37 0.751 0.321 0.269 0. 0. 0. 2Eth C48 0.613 0.255 0.269 0. 0. 0. 3Eth C19 1.538 0.285 0.269 0. 0. 0. 3Eth C2 10 1.401 0.216 0.269 0. 0. 0. 3Eth C3 11 1.289 0.321 0.269 0. 0. 0. 3Eth C4 12 1.151 0.255 0.269 0. 0. 0. 4Eth C1 13 2.077 0.285 0.269 0. 0. 0. 4Eth C2 14 1.940 0.216 0.269 0. 0. 0. 4Eth C3 15 1.828 0.321 0.269 0. 0. 0. 4Eth C4 16 1.690 0.255 0.269 0. 0. 0. 5Eth C1 17 2.615 0.285 0.269 0. 0. 0. 5Eth C2 18 2.478 0.216 0.269 0. 0. 0. 5Eth C3 19 2.366 0.321 0.269 0. 0. 0. 5Eth C4 20 2.228 0.255 0.269 0. 0. 0. 2.69085 0.53817 0.53817 -- Justin A.

[gmx-users] automating analysis using shell scripting
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?

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.

[gmx-users] multiple time step
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 ?
