Dear Mr.Mark Abraham
I am Erman Oguz from Turkey Hacettepe University.
I have a problem about Replica Excahange Method on Gromacs.
ý hope you can help me.

I am trying to perform replica exchange MD on a 'protein in
water' system. I have to perform the REMD simulation with 64 different
temperatures.As per advise on wiki,I equilibrated the system at
respective temperatures (total of 64 equilibration simulations in 200 ps).
After this I generated "tpr files" from the equilibrated structure.
when I submit final job for REMD with following command-line

command line: mpirun -np 64 mdrun -multi 64 -replex 1000 -s *_.tpr .....

it gives error that :

t=29.802 ps Water molecule starting at atom 5902 can not be settled.
check for bad contacs and/or reduce time step.

what can I do and how can I do... please help me...


You should start by searching on the GROMACS webpage errors page. The 
reasons for this kind of error are clearly described there, and are 
likely to have nothing to with REMD as such. If they were, you'll have 
to provide much more data for anyone to help.

You should try your .tpr files in a non-replica simulation and see which 
are broken and thus what to do about it. Probably you've not 
equilibrated well enough, or have a broken system, or have a temperature 
range that is too great for your integration to be stable at high T.

Mark

This is a great job, thanks to the devellopers But i would like to add some new molecule for solvent (e.g. for TFE) The atom types of TFE are present in the ffcharmm27bon.itp available in latest port (c32b1_release_1.1.zip, dowloaded http://www.dbb.su.se/User:Bjelkmar/Ffcharmm), unfortunately several bonded parameters (for example  F3-CF3, CF3-CT2x, etc..) are missing in ffcharmm27bon.itp file. So I need to convert the missing parameters into gromacs format. In website (URL:http://www.gromacs.org/@api/deki/files/76/=charmm_to_gromacs.tgz), I have found that several perl scripts exist for the conversion charmm-->  gromacs. The archive is corrupted so, I cannot unpacked the directory to obtain the files.

Emailed off-list. This package is now deprecated.

I have changed tau_t=0.2 for 1.0 but the density is not restored. I have tried with the parameters from Villa and Mark (J Comput Chem, 2002, 23, 548)
, tau_t=0.2 and tau_p=2.0 and still get the same density. The self-diffusion coefficient is indeed half of that with md with sd and tau_t=0.2 (0.71 vs. 1.48 10-5 cm2/s)
and about the same with tau_t=1.0 (1.57 10-5 cm2/s). Water is less affected (1009 g/L with md and 1007 g/L with sd and tau_t=0.2). What is the reason why the density is lowered?

Here is the .mdp file (for the simulation with md, tau_t=0.1):

Hi,

This force field was designed to be used with constraints.
First try running with constraints set to all-bonds and without -DFLEXIBLE and check
the densities again.

Hi,

Sorry for the offtopic but Google/literature quick search is not helping
and I'd like to have some more informed opinion.

To my understanding, GROMACS isn't capable of discontinuous molecular
dynamics. Is there any more-or-less standard software package for that?

thank you!
