Hi, 
Thanks for the reply.
I converted the .dcd file to .trr format using the catdcd program. I used the command " g_covar -f TOTAL_50MS.trr -s CG_TNF.pdb -n new.ndx -o eigenval.xvg -v eigenvec.trr" to run and getting the error as follows:

 I also edited the aminoacids.dat file by giving the CG Beads names there. Do I need to incorporate any other change?

No - while GROMACS has some vestiges in the user interface of an earlier 
attempt to implement implicit solvation simulations, these will not 
functional until at least version 4.1.

Negative, and vaguely proportional to the number of atoms.

It's pretty much irrelevant for preparing a system for MD. You'll have 
to equilibrate it later, and the value of an EM step is merely relieving 
any bad atom-atom contacts before they turn into huge accelerations. If 
the equilibration doesn't crash, you did enough EM.

Hi ALL,

I have a system of beads with which I ran a CGMD (coarse grained MD) using NAMD. Now I want to do a PCA analysis of this system using GROMACS. So I converted the trajectory in .trr format and made an index file of the entire system (45 beads). But now when I try to run g_covar using the group consisting the entire system, for least square fit and covariance analysis, it is giving Segmentation Fault. Am I doing anything wrong. Any suggestion is welcome.

Yes you're doing something wrong, but if you don't tell us at least your 
command line and your full output, how might we be expected to help? :-)

Convert a dcd file into a trr file is not that straightforward. How did 
you do that?

You probably also need a tpr file. To create it, you need the parameters 
of your force field (in Gromacs format), the topology of each molecule 
you've got in your system (still in Gromacs format) and to run grompp.  
Depending on the original format of your force field, in can be quite 
difficult to do the file format conversion.

Hope that helps...

Dear colleagues,

In 53a6, the topology and charges for (NAD+) nicotinamide adenine
dinucleotide are present (listed as NADH, 52 atoms) in polar hydrogen form
(without aromatic hydrogens).

Is there anyone who can tell me how such a molecule was charge group
parameterized? (with sufficient certainty to be included in the ff).

Please understand that I am not asking how to use the NAD topology that's
provided.

I've read that prodrg is a "good starting point" for parametrizing a ligand,
but what is the path to "improving" such a ligand from that starting point?
(the provided topology for NAD+ in the ff shows 17 charge groups with
an average of 3-4 atoms per charge group, whereas prodrg gives only 11
charge groups.)

I'm not concerned about angles and dihedrals, since that is pretty
painless... it's the charge groups that I'm concerned about.

In a nutshell, who and how was the final NAD+ parameters decided upon??
Does anyone know this??  Is it simply chemical intuition of estimated
charges that reproduce the dipole of the moiety (like an adenine ring), and
the charge groups contain the minimum number of atoms that reflect this?

Is there an algorithm to generating "improved" charge groups?

I ask these questions because my ligands are large organics... MW 800 and
greater.

Thanks for any and all help in this regard.

Hi everyone,

Since I am a new user of Gromacs, this problem is probably rather trivial, but I hope one of you would like to help me nonetheless. I have created a starting structure in a not very optimal situation, which I have then minimized. To continue, I would like to equilibrate the system further using leap-frog MD. To do so, I have used grompp in the following way:
grompp -f martini_md1.mdp -c minimized.gro -p martini.top -maxwarn 10

This creates the following mdout.mdp: see attachment

Now as far as I can see, using the command `mdrun -v -c md_run.gro' should result in performing a 1,000,000 iteration md simulation of this system. However, when I issue that command, instead what I get is this:

This is a minimization using the steepest descent algorithm. What am I doing wrong here?
