Please help.



You received two replies the last time you asked this exact same question:

So what have you done to try to proceed?  If you want free help, you have to be 
willing to use what you're given to make some progress and report back with 
specific issues that arise.

Dear users.

Help me.
What parametres of force field OPLS it is necessary to be used
for group -N=CH2 (imine group) ?



Check out the OPLS papers for suitable groups or atom types that are present, 
and if there's nothing already there, then you'll have to parameterize the group 
yourself (not a novice exercise):

[gmx-users] genconf and bonded interactions

2011-07-26 Thread Fabio Affinito

Hi all,
I used genconf because I wanted to replicate a membrane with ion channel 
on the xy plane:

genconf -f conf.gro -o out.gro -nbox 2 2 1

Then I edited by hand the .top file where I modified the number of 
molecules in the system.


When attempting to run, disregarding the number of processors, the mdrun 
crashes because domain decomposition fails.

Looking with attention to the log I find this:

Initializing Domain Decomposition on 4096 nodes
  Dynamic load balancing: auto
  Will sort the charge groups at every domain (re)decomposition
  Initial maximum inter charge-group distances:
two-body bonded interactions: 30.871 nm, LJ-14, atoms 193657 193660
multi-body bonded interactions: 30.871 nm, Angle, atoms 193656 193659
Minimum cell size due to bonded interactions: 33.959 nm
Maximum distance for 7 constraints, at 120 deg. angles, all-trans: 1.139 nm
Estimated maximum distance required for P-LINCS: 1.139 nm
Guess for relative PME load: 0.44
Will use 2304 particle-particle and 1792 PME only nodes
This is a guess, check the performance at the end of the log file
Using 1792 separate PME nodes
Scaling the initial minimum size with 1/0.8 (option -dds) = 1.25
Optimizing the DD grid for 2304 cells with a minimum initial size of 42.448 
nm
The maximum allowed number of cells is: X 1 Y 1 Z 0


Now, I'm wondering why do I have such big bond interation length.. 31nm!
I guess that the problems in the DD arises from this.

Can you give me some suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Fabio

Were the molecules whole in the coordinate file you replicated?  If not, the 
bonds will now be assigned across the entire box.

Yes and not, depending on what you mean by "whole".
It is an ion channel, so it's made of four chains.

What you need to do is use the information mdrun provided you to diagnose what's

Yes, but this doesn't make things easier! :-)
According to the log the atoms to consider are 159986 and 159990

Browsing the conf.gro, if I didn't make mistakes this atoms are:


 30040POPGOE59986   0.080  13.158   2.964  0.0885  0.4154 -0.0859

But their distance is 12.8nm, while md.log reports 38.911 nm...

So what?

[gmx-users] On computing entropies using g_anaeig

2011-07-26 Thread Hari Shankar M
Gmx-users,

There has been a earlier post on differences in entropies computed using the 
covariance analysis and normal mode analysis 
(http://lists.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-users/2009-April/041535.html). I 
discovered the reason for the differences and thought that this information 
might be useful to others.

1. g_anaeig tool used to compute the entropy, computes entropies from the 
eigenvalues of the covariance matrix only. So, feeding the eigenvalues obtained 
from the mass-weighted Hessian to g_anaeig gives meaningless entropy values. 
Probably, this information should be clearly stated in the manual to prevent 
any potential abuse of g_anaeig. I compared the results on a diatomic molecule 
(oxygen) and benzene, and found very different results. The values differ by an 
order of magnitude. Also, looking at the source code of gmx_anaeig.c, it is 
clear that the entropies are computed from the covariance eigenvalues and not 
the eigenvalues of the Hessian. 

2. There is a user-developed code distributed on the gromacs website called 
'calc_entropies.pl'. This script can be used to compute entropies from 
eigenvalues obtained by covariance analysis or normal mode analysis. However, 
there seems to be a bug in this code. While the conversion of the eigenvalues 
to eigenfrequencies is done correctly in this code, there is a huge difference 
in the formula used to compute the entropy in the case of normal modes (for 
entropy formula refer to Karplus and Kushik 1981 paper). After correcting the 
entropy formula, I was able to get similar results with either method. If you 
are interested in the corrected script, you could email me at hari...@yahoo.com.

I hope this information is helpful for those who are working on entropies.

Best,
Hari

[gmx-users] (no subject)

2011-07-26 Thread Sara baretller
Hi all

I used the genion to add a concentration and to neutalize the system in the
same time by using the

   *genion -s file.tpr -conc 0.2 -neutral -o file.gro -random

   so it did add the NA and Cl but it did not neutralize the system,
the net charge of the system still the same negative.

   so i tried to use the genion seperate to neutralize the charge
using the file.tpr and out file as the file.gro,
   however it reset the file.gro and i lose the NA And CL ions added
for the concentration.

   any suggestions

Could this be the origin of my problem?



Atom numbering is not the problem. This happens all the time for systems
of hundreds of thousands of atoms, which Gromacs handles just fine.
Please investigate the points I suggested before.


Yes, but this doesn't make things easier! :-)
According to the log the atoms to consider are 159986 and 159990



That's not what you posted before.  The .log output indicated atoms 193657 and 
193660 were problematic.



Browsing the conf.gro, if I didn't make mistakes this atoms are:


 30040POPGOE59986   0.080  13.158   2.964  0.0885  0.4154 -0.0859



 30040POPG   C1C59990   0.219  26.034   3.221  0.6449  0.0750  0.1313


But their distance is 12.8nm, while md.log reports 38.911 nm...



In any case, why are atoms four bonds (based on the original .log output of 1-4 
interactions being a problem) away separated by 12.8 nm?  Seems very odd to me. 
 I ask yet again - what are your box vectors, before and after manipulation 
with genconf?

So what?

Yes and not, depending on what you mean by "whole".
It is an ion channel, so it's made of four chains.
This clarifies? (i guess not..)


By whole, I mean that the molecules are not split across periodic
boundaries in the initial configuration that you replicated. If you
replicate a periodic break, then you split the molecules by a 
distance

equal to the new periodic distance.

-Justin


Ok, so: no, it's not broken.



What you need to do is use the information mdrun provided you to
diagnose what's going on. Apparently atoms 193657 193660 are separated
by 31 nm. What are your box vectors? Where are these atoms in the
system? Then you'll have your answer. The only reason I can think of 
for

such extreme distances is a periodicity issue.

I find this hard to believe.  The application of genion -conc -neutral has 
worked in every instance I've tried it along every Gromacs version.  Check your 
output again.


  so i tried to use the genion seperate to neutralize the charge using the file.tpr and out file as the file.gro,

Without the actual sequence of commands, this is not a useful description. 
genion adds ions based on whatever it finds in the .tpr file (which is 
presumably not neutralized).  If you do not re-create a .tpr file in between 
different additions of ions, you're going to be undoing work you thought you did.

Hi All

I used the genion command using like this "genion -s file.tpr -conc 0.2
-neutral -o file.gro -random "  again and i checked the md.log file and it
says that the net charge is negative like it was before using the genion
command.

so can anybody tell me what is wrong with the line  genion -s file.tpr -conc

I replicated the error.  The original coordinate file names its water hydrogens 
as HW2 and HW3 rather than HW1 and HW2, as expected by most common water models. 
 It is safe to ignore this error.

I don't completely understand what you've done.  PRODRG uses a single
molecule
to produce a topology that can then be #included in the system topology.
I
don't know how you inputted 23 molecules and then specified 65.  What does
this
mean?

Also note that PRODRG topologies are usually insufficiently accurate for

There's nothing abnormal here.  genion reports that it finds a -50 charge on the 
system.  That's what it's supposed to do.  Based on what it finds in the 
topology, it adds neutralizing ions and any additional ions to reach the 
specified concentration.  You only have a problem if grompp later complains that 
there's still some residual charge (excluding tiny rounding discrepancies).

so it did add the NA and Cl but it did not

   I find this hard to believe.  The application of genion -conc
   -neutral has worked in every instance I've tried it along every
   Gromacs version.  Check your output again.


so i tried to use the genion seperate to neutralize the
   charge using the file.tpr and out file as the file.gro,  
   however it reset the file.gro and i lose the NA And

CL ions
   added for the concentration.


   Without the actual sequence of commands, this is not a useful
   description. genion adds ions based on whatever it finds in
the .tpr
   file (which is presumably not neutralized).  If you do not
re-create
   a .tpr file in between different additions of ions, you're
going to
   be undoing work you thought you did.

 probably because my .top file was generated using a file generated

These errors come up all the time, I'm surprised you haven't found the answers 
in the archive.


With respect to the zero masses, it's because the [atoms] section does not list 
masses, so they're set to zero.  The proper format would have mass listed in the 
column to the right of charge.  The reason it's missing is because the topology 
posted online is for (1) an ancient version of Gromacs (probably in the 3.x 
series) and (2) for use with the deprecated ffgmx force field, which had some 
different internal mechanics.  Note that this is not a reason to use ffgmx 
(please refer to the manual for the full explanation as to why you shouldn't use 
it).


The missing parameters are also probably due to similar issues.  I believe you 
said you were using my tutorial as a basis for your simulations, so you'll have 
to make all the parameters conform to the 53a6 nomenclature.  For instance, atom 
type OS was replaced by either OE or OA, depending on the functional group. 
You'll have to update the topology accordingly.  There are probably other such 
issues, as well.

I replicated the error.  The original coordinate file names its water

I don't completely understand what you've done.  PRODRG uses a single

You are not specifying the ions to be added using the -pname and -nname options 
with the genion command.

Perhaps that is a problem?

[gmx-users] GROMACS+CPMD QM/MM

2011-07-26 Thread Jacob Jantzi
Hello everyone,

I'm trying to run Gromacs, and use CPMD for QM. I have cpmd compiled and
running, but when I try to start mdrun_d with gromacs, I get the following
error:

QM/MM calculation requested.
Layer 0
nr of QM atoms 2
QMlevel: DIRECT/STO-3G

number of CPUs for gaussian = 1
memory for gaussian = 5000
accuracy in l510 = 8
NOT using cp-mcscf in l1003
Level of SA at start = 0
Segmentation fault

Does this mean that gromacs is attempting to use guassian for QM instead
of cpmd? I compiled gromacs with the options: --disable-float
--with-fftw=fftw3 --with-qmmm-cpmd.

I am using the cpmd-specific gromacs version 3.3.1 (available at
http://www.tougaloo.edu/research/qmmm/) with cpmd version 3.15.1.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

-Jacob Jantzi

Thus far I have seen no evidence that genion is not doing what it is supposed 
to.  It reports finding a net -50 charge on the system.  What happens then? 
Does the output coordinate file contain ions?  The topology will not be modified

There's nothing abnormal here.  genion reports that it finds a -50 charge on 
the system.  That's what it's supposed to do.  Based on what it finds in the 
topology, it adds neutralizing ions and any additional ions to reach the 
specified concentration.  You only have a problem if grompp later complains 
that there's still some residual charge (excluding tiny rounding discrepancies).

  I find this hard to believe.  The application of genion -conc
  -neutral has worked in every instance I've tried it along every
  Gromacs version.  Check your output again.


   so i tried to use the genion seperate to neutralize the
  charge using the file.tpr and out file as the file.gro,   
  however it reset the file.gro and i lose the NA And
   CL ions
  added for the concentration.


  Without the actual sequence of commands, this is not a useful
  description. genion adds ions based on whatever it finds in
   the .tpr
  file (which is presumably not neutralized).  If you do not
   re-create
  a .tpr file in between different additions of ions, you're
   going to
  be undoing work you thought you did.

Hey Jacob,

I think you also have to use the flag --without-qmmm-gaussian.

[gmx-users] vdW cutoff

2011-07-26 Thread Fabian Casteblanco
Hello,

I am quite confused on whether it is better to use a standard cut-off
scheme for vdW interactions or if its better to use a switch or shift
function for this.  I am doing a free energy calculation on the
solvation of a drug molecule in a solvent (on CHARMM ff) so I want to
be as accurate as possible.  The CHARMM paper does state that they use
some type of switch function between 10 A and 12 A but I'm confused on
the difference between 'Switch' and 'Shift'.  I ran the solvents alone
using these different types and it seems to give similar results.  Is
this a major decision to getting accurate free energy calculations?
Will using standard 14 A cutoffs with DispersionCorrection=EnerPres be
enough?

Thanks for anyone with knowledge in this area.

hi all

yes the gro file does have all  ions,  NA + number of ions equal to CL
number. so when i use grep command , i have same number of NA and CL and
that what tells me that something is wrong , because i should have another
50 ions of NA extra  to neutralize the system

You should stick with the prescribed force field methodology unless you can 
demonstrate your modified method is (a) equivalent or (b) superior.  In any 
case, you need a well-defined test case (i.e. something trusted and probably 
published and therefore thoroughly vetted) that you can play with until you're 
satisfied that your method is sufficiently accurate.  Reviewers want 
justification for deviations from what is expected.  At least, they should :)

Re: [gmx-users] On computing entropies using g_anaeig

2011-07-26 Thread Justin A. Lemkul



Hari Shankar M wrote:

Gmx-users,

There has been a earlier post on differences in entropies computed using 
the covariance analysis and normal mode analysis 
(http://lists.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-users/2009-April/041535.html). I 
discovered the reason for the differences and thought that this 
information might be useful to others.


1. g_anaeig tool used to compute the entropy, computes entropies from 
the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix only. So, feeding the 
eigenvalues obtained from the mass-weighted Hessian to g_anaeig gives 
meaningless entropy values. Probably, this information should be clearly 
stated in the manual to prevent any potential abuse of g_anaeig. I 
compared the results on a diatomic molecule (oxygen) and benzene, and 
found very different results. The values differ by an order of 
magnitude. Also, looking at the source code of gmx_anaeig.c, it is clear 
that the entropies are computed from the covariance eigenvalues and not 
the eigenvalues of the Hessian.




I have created a new bug report on the redmine site for this issue.  If you have 
a code patch or any additional information to contribute, please do so:


http://redmine.gromacs.org/issues/785

2. There is a user-developed code distributed on the gromacs website 
called 'calc_entropies.pl'. This script can be used to compute entropies 
from eigenvalues obtained by covariance analysis or normal mode 
analysis. However, there seems to be a bug in this code. While the 
conversion of the eigenvalues to eigenfrequencies is done correctly in 
this code, there is a huge difference in the formula used to compute the 
entropy in the case of normal modes (for entropy formula refer to 
Karplus and Kushik 1981 paper). After correcting the entropy formula, I 
was able to get similar results with either method. If you are 
interested in the corrected script, you could email me at hari...@yahoo.com.




This would make a nice contribution to the Gromacs website.  Please consider 
uploading it to the User Contributions page with a suitable description.

[gmx-users] Re: g_msd bug

2011-07-26 Thread Simon Butler
Dear Gromacsers,

This seems more suited to gmx-developers but as the original thread was on
gmx-users, I'm posting it here.

Anyway, regarding the excessive memory usage of g_msd when using the -mol
flag, as reported recently, I believe I've identified the source of the
problem: the array of per-molecule MSD data in curr->lsq. In particular, it
appears that the call to gmx_stats_add_point on line 476 is the key
offender.

I haven't the time at the moment to dig any further than this,
unfortunately, but the attached patch (gmx_msd.mem.patch) may be of
temporary use to users of g_msd. It merely comments out the call to
gmx_stats_init and the printmol routine. If anybody wishes to retain the
calculation of D for each individual molecule, they will need to recode the
data accumulation in the style of that for the overall calculation I expect.

There is also the problem of the large difference in the calculated results
when using the -mol flag, as reported by Florian. I think the cause of this
is an error in the logic within the corr_loop routine. The original sequence
is:

1. If first iteration, copy current frame to previous
2. If -mol, make molecules whole
3. Remove PBC jumps
4. If -mol, calculate molecule COMs and copy to xa array

I believe the correct order for this sequence should be 2, 4, 1, 3. The
original order results in xa[prev] containing zero for every position on
step 1 and also in the PBC step operating on an array that hasn't been
repopulated yet, with the result that jumps are not removed correctly.

I've tested the new sequence for a single PF6 molecule and for the
corresponding P atom (which is almost exactly at the COM) and obtained very
nearly identical results for each (which wasn't the case previously). I've
attached a separate patch to reorder these function calls
(gmx_msd.mol.patch). Both patches are for the v4.5.4 copy of gmx_msd.c, by
the way.

cheers,

Simon

[gmx-users] Fwd: density error bars

2011-07-26 Thread XAvier Periole


You may have wanted to have sent the message to the gmx list!

Begin forwarded message:


From: nicoletta liguori 
Date: July 26, 2011 5:28:29 PM MDT (CA)
To: x.peri...@rug.nl
Subject: density error bars

Hi,
I'm using Gromacs and its tools to sample some kind of membranes and  
characterize their features.

Actually I don't know what to do about error bars.
For example when I calculate the density mass distribution along the  
axis parallel to the normal to the
membrane surface I average on all trajectories using g_density_d on  
my set contained

in the .xtc file.
Considering that, for what I understood, it makes the average on  
time of the density, but without
adding any kind of error (there are no possibilities with this tool)  
I tried to check if there are other tools

available to calculate the error bars but seem not to exist!!
For example g_analyze reads directly the already averaged set of  
data (in this case) cause the only

possible input is a .xvg file!
So I was thinking to (not yet know how, is my first computational  
trial) to calculate the error with a simple
standard deviation (I was thinking to use matlab ), but to do this,  
I suppose that

I have to consider all the points indipendent, and to do this
I'd have to look at the autocorrelation function of density itself!
but how to do this??
there are again no tools available
how do you do when u deal with errors?
Thanks for attention and for the help
Nicoletta

[gmx-users] How to exert different lateral pressure profile of a membrane to study its influence on a protein inserted in the double layer membrane?

2011-07-26 Thread KONG Xian
Dear all:

 

 I am working on a research to study whether the Lateral pressure
profile influence the protein function.

 

 To get different lateral pressure profile, I used Parinello-Rahman
P coupling method and anisotropic pressure coupling with different p_ref
values(such as 0.9bar, 1bar, 1.1bar, .,2bar) in xy.

 

 I wonder whether this method feasible. 

 

If it is not feasible, could anyone please give me a hint on how to do it.

 

Thank you

I would be amazed if you were able to determine any difference at all between 
such small increments of pressure.  Instantaneous pressure values fluctuate on 
the order of 10^2 - 10^3, depending on the size of the system, so your results 
would be based on the assumption that 1 +/- 1000 and 1.1 +/- 1000 are somehow 
different.  A few additional notes:


http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Terminology/Pressure

There's nothing to say you can't try it, but don't be surprised if the 
differences in response are negligible, if they exist at all.  Your systems will 
have to be extremely well-equilibrated for the P-R barostat to give you stable 
pressure values.

[gmx-users] Re: How to exert different lateral pressure profile of a membrane to study its influence on a protein inserted in the double layer membrane?

2011-07-26 Thread KONG Xian
Dear Justin A. Lemkul:

 Thanks for your rapid reply.

 Just as you said, the result of my simulation with different xy
p_ref values didn't vary, they are almost the same.

 I think I need consider some other ways to do what I was mean to
do.

 

I have read a paper that study the different lateral pressure profiles of
lipid membrane with respect to sterol type, I think I may chose this as a
way to produce different pressure profiles.

 

Ollila, O. H. S., T. Rog, et al. (2007). "Role of sterol type on lateral
pressure profiles of lipid membranes affecting membrane protein
functionality: Comparison between cholesterol, desmosterol,
7-dehydrocholesterol and ketosterol." Journal of Structural Biology 159(2):
311-323.

 

And, what's more, Do you think steered MD is a choice?

Lateral pressure is a function of z-distance, maybe you can try simulations 
using different surface tension, which is the integration of lateral pressure.

Re: [gmx-users] Single long simulation versus multiple short

2011-07-26 Thread Tom Dupree
Greetings all,
I am quite interested in this discussion, and wondered if some people would 
like to add how they would assess the length their MD simulations. I am 
currently simulating HIV-1 RT for 1 ns and seem to have very flat energy 
profiles for almost anything (energy wise) I care to measure and yet ligand 
position/conformation continues to change throughout the simulation.

There is no need to concatenate the trajectories, and moreover it may give you 
a 
misleading result.  Every simulation needs time to equilibrate.  In the limit 
of 
infinite sampling, all simulations should converge to the same properties, on 
average.  Whether or not your simulation can produce stable properties in 2 ns 
is something you'll have to decide.  If 2 ns is insufficient, then you're still 
not collecting data that are as reliable as you would get from a longer 
simulation.

Multiple simulations from independent starting velocities and/or configurations 
are generally expected.  A single simulation does not necessarily tell you the 
whole truth.
