Hi Mark,

Are there differences between functions 9 and 1? So can I implement these dihedrals in successive lines, just using function 9 or 1?

Yes, multiple "type 1" dihedrals for use with AMBER and CHARMM forcefields can be implemented, either as successive [dihedraltypes] of type 9 (since GROMACS 4.0, IIRC) or as multiple [dihedrals] of type 1 (since ages).

Dear All:

I am using umbrella sampling method to calculate potential of mean
force and I encountered the following questions:
1, at the *.ppa file, I need to incorporate a parameter indicating the
"the position of the pull group will restraint to, relative to the
reference group" (i.e., the "pos1" parameter).

To my understanding, in the initial structure, the pull group is not
need to at the exact position defined by the aformationed parameter
("pos1" parameter) in the .ppa file. I just need to put the pull group
near that position, am I right?

2, Since I need to define the position of the pull group relative to
the reference group. I need to calculate the mass center of the
reference group as well as that of the pull group. Does there any
tools in GROMACS to calculate their mass center?

Thank you very much for your time and your kindness!

Best Regards

R-X Gu

Hi,

With wall_r_linpot your wall potential is linear from 1 nm downwards.
Since the LJ force is negative at 1 nm, your atoms are attracted to the walls.

But why not simply use two interfaces? You get double the sampling for free
and you do not have to bother with complicated wall setups.

Subject: [gmx-users] Reg:walls and pbc xy

Hi Gromacians

I want to create a liquid-liquid interface and study its properties. Hence i combined two boxes ( say water and DCE). The two boxes  are well equilibrated before merging and i created an interface. Now i want to perform energy minimisation for the interface by appling pbc in the xy direction and using walls. ( If i apply pbc in all the directions i get two interfaces where as i need only one interface hence i am applying it only on the xy direction and removing the boundary condition in the Z direction.).When i performed the energy minimisation for the interfacial system but i found that my system is exploding (several PDB files are written while running mdrun is executed) and i dont know why?.There is no issue when i use pbc in all directions. below is my em.mdp file. any help is highly appreciated.

Hi Berk

I need only one interface because if i have two interfaces the "capillary
waves from one interface disturb the other even though the distance between
the average positions of the two interfaces are larger than the potential
cut-off" (this was said in the literature).

Can anyone explain me why walls are used for interfaces? and what is the
purpose of using walls?.
suppose if i put nwall =2 where exactly are the walls created? can anyone
explain me with an example?

i read the manual but it is not making any sense to me. if i know this i
know what correction i should make in my mdp file to make it work for pbc
xy. any help is highly appreciated.

Regards
Vinoth
