Dear Mark....

Thanks for your suggestions.
1) Regarding to the g_sdf, the problem is I have 3 groups ( system, cation, anion) in my index file. 
    But, before using g_sdf, I should have 4 groups. So, how about the last group?
2) When I used g_sdf command ( g_sdf -s topol.tpr -f trj.trr -n index.ndx -r), it mention to select the group for 4 times. My question is, how to select the group?


THANKS
 IMA

By increasing tau_p you are reducing the stringency of the pressure coupling, 
i.e. allowing the system to change a bit more between coordinate scaling.  By 
decreasing the frequency of coordinate scaling in extremis, you would lose the 
benefit of pressure coupling and achieve an NVT ensemble, with the box 
dimensions being essentially static.  In the case of a tau_p of 2.0 vs. 5.0, you 
should not have this problem.

If the provided box uses a united-atom CH, I would suspect it is not suitable 
for GROMOS96 parameters, as you have discovered.  In all G96 variants, the H is 
explicitly represented.  You might consider coming up with your own box.  Start 
with a coordinate file for one molecule, use genconf to generate a box, and 
equilibrate.

If you want any further information about diagnosing the current problem, 
posting the .mdp file would be helpful.

Hi gmx-users,
   I have calculated the interaction energy between two group. But I find that the values of the LJ interaction energy are negative and the values of the Coulomb interaction energy are positive between two group. So I think the LJ interaction is attractive and the Coulomb interaction is repulsive. Is it correct for my consideration of the interaction ?

But I find that the values of the LJ interaction energy are negative and the values of the Coulomb interaction energy are positive between two group.

Maybe. That conclusion would assume
a) that you've calculated it correctly,
b) that the model physics is robust with respect to such a decomposition
when it almost certainly wasn't parameterized for such a property, and
c) the decomposed interaction energy means anything.

Dear GMXers,

   When I perfomed a MD simulation, it always teminated after about 700 ps with the message:

Fatal error: 2 particles communicated to PME node 0 are more than a cell length out of the domain decomposition cell of their charge group

   I utilized the GROMACS-4.0.5. I have searched the maillist to find some similar posts but they can not yet cope with this issues. Could you give me some clues, please?

  Best wishes,

  Chaofu Wu, Dr.

Dear users,



I would like to compare interactions between molecules by using RDF. I
have tried looking at glycine and water, and compare the following two
interactions:

1)      between the amine hydrogen atoms in glycine and the oxygen atom
in water

2)      between the carboxyl oxygen atoms in glycine and the oxygen atom
in water



However, my result in 1) depends on how many of the 3 hydrogen atoms I
include in the calculations. Why is that? Does that mean that I cannot
directly compare the strengths (RDF peak height) of the two interactions
as they are not based on the same number of atoms? Does it also mean
that I must always calculate RDFs by using 1 atom on each of the
particles/groups that I am comparing?



Thanks,

Soren

Hello all........

Did anyone know how to 
1) calculate g_sdf? 
2) ionic conductivity? 

Can I have the commands for that.... 

Thanks

Start with g_sdf -h.

Don't know. Look in manual 7.4, 8 and maybe Appendix D.

If you do some more of your own work and ask focussed questions you help 
yourself look worth helping :-)
