[gmx-users] g_lie and PME

[Jens Krüger]

Hi,

after carefully reading all the threads on this topic, I got stuck at the
same point.

Just to clarify the procedure for a NEUTRAL ligand, where I did both
simulations (Protein/LIG/SOL and LIG/SOL).

Eqq = Coul-SR(LIG-SOL) + Coul-LR(LIG-SOL) + Coul-14(LIG-SOL)
Elj = LJ-SR(LIG-SOL) + LJ-LR(LIG-SOL) + LJ-14(LIG-SOL)

with all values from the LIG/SOL simulation. Is this correct?

When I now have a CHARGED ligand, I follow the mentioned procedure (1.
tpbconv -zeroq; 2. mdrun -rerun traj.trr) to get a correct value for the
Coulomb energy.
Taking a look on Coul-SR(LIG-SOL, rerun), Coul-LR(LIG-SOL, rerun),
Coul-14(LIG-SOL, rerun) shows, that they are all zero. So which energy
terms do you use to calculate the difference (=Eqq)? And how big is
normally the difference between uncorrected and corrected Eqq?


Thanks for your help,

Jens
