[gmx-users] genion problem with divalent ions

2012-09-09 Thread Matthias Ernst
Hi, I just encountered (another) strange thing with genion. I wanted to neutralized a system by adding Mg-Ions (charge in ions.itp: 2, forcefield amber99sb), so I expected half of the system charge (-52) to be added as ions. BUT it added the same amount, i.e. 52 Mg ions instead of 26 which wou

The problem could be gen_vel=no if you are not loading velocities that are consistent with your production temperature of 200 K. If, for example, you do not load any velocities at all, then the initial forces will quickly be scaled up to reach 200 K and this can cause large scale deformations/r

Long story short: backup everything (since it's a backup, and hopefully you won't need it), then use the [whatever].cpt file. You don't want to do work twice, do you? If you use the [whatever]_prev.cpi file, you will calculate some frames *again* that are already there. If you use an up-to-date

Hi, I have a question regarding simulation of a protein-DNA-complex where the protein encloses the DNA double helix. I did not find a tutorial for a system of three rather big molecules like these, that's why I ask. If there is such, I would appreciate a hint. I want to start with a crystal

It is possible but not yet included in Gromacs. As far as I know, there are several people working on porting this forcefield to Gromacs (I have been searching for this myself last year). Check the archives for parmbsc0 and Gromacs and search for papers that include these terms. then you will fi

Hi, I am currently working with the AMBER forcefields provided by GROMACS. I noticed there are atoms in the forcefields (e.g. amber99 or amber03) with LJ parameters of 0.0 for sigma and epsilon. For example, the HO atom type is sometimes used (e.g. in SER or in the terminal Hs of DNA residues

Hi, I try to simulate DNA or better parts of a long DNA double-helix. Therefore, the system I use is not "correctly" terminated at the ends from chemical point of view with OH-groups but rather cut out the longer helix. Nevertheless, all residues are named correctly, all atoms needed in the r
