Thanks a lot Justin and Mark for your useful input.
Indeed Justin was right, the quest to dissect the total energy of the
system to get that contributed by the protein alone was not trivial at
all!
I missed out this thread yesterday
http://www.mail-archive.com/gmx-users@gromacs.org/msg34610.html as well
as Mark's trick to decompose bonded terms by hacking the .top file.
(However, I read from
http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Gromacs_Utilities/g_energy that the
Coul-recip term is not decomposable regardless of the tricks used...)
Mark, following your advice, I added -nsteps 0 (-1 didn't work) to
tpbconv. I managed to get the interactive prompt succesfully this time.
Reading toplogy and shit from rerun1.tpr
Reading file rerun1.tpr, VERSION 4.0.7 (single precision)
Setting nsteps to 0
Group 0 ( System) has 100581 elements
Group 1 ( Protein) has 4002 elements
Group 2 ( Protein-H) has 3145 elements
Group 3 ( C-alpha) has 412 elements
Group 4 ( Backbone) has 1236 elements
Group 5 ( MainChain) has 1649 elements
Group 6 (MainChain+Cb) has 2027 elements
Group 7 ( MainChain+H) has 2039 elements
Group 8 ( SideChain) has 1963 elements
Group 9 ( SideChain-H) has 1496 elements
Group 10 ( Prot-Masses) has 4002 elements
Group 11 ( Non-Protein) has 96579 elements
Group 12 ( POPE) has 13052 elements
Group 13 ( SOL) has 83523 elements
Group 14 ( CL-) has 4 elements
Group 15 ( Other) has 96579 elements
Group 16 ( SOL_CL-) has 83527 elements
Group 17 (Protein_POPE) has 17054 elements
Select a group:
As suggested, I have also tried to compare the (average) values of
subset.tpr and fullsystem.tpr, these are the total energies of:
1) System= -1.28209 e+06
2) Protein= -9571.86
3) Lipid= -296121
4) SOL_CL= -821353
5) Other= -1.22684e+06
It was found that the:
1) Total energies (Protein + lipid + SOL_CL-) not equal to total
energy of the system
2) Total energies of (Lipid + SOL_CL-) not equal to total energy of
other
3) Total energies of (others + protein) not equal to total energy
of the system
I have yet to work out the reasons for the discrepancies, will spend
some time pondering and trying to make sense of these (and other)
values.
Thanks a bunch again!

Hi Gmxusers,
I have been trying to run mdrun -rerun to get the energy of the protein
in my protein-lipid system. I know similar questions have been raised on
this topic before, I have tried to glean useful information from them to
solve my problem but unfortunately to no avail. Thanks for your
patience!
As I did not have energygrps in the initial .mdp file, I included it
this time
integrator = md
nsteps = 0
dt = 0.002
nstxout = 50000
nstvout = 50000
nstenergy = 500
nstlog = 500
Continuation = yes
constraint_algorithm = lincs
constraints = all-bonds
lincs_iter = 1
lincs_order = 4
ns_type = grid
nstlist = 5
rlist = 1.2
rcoulomb = 1.2
rvdw = 1.2
coulombtype = PME
pme_order = 4
fourierspacing = 0.16
tcoupl = Nose-Hoover
tc-grps = Protein POPE SOL_CL-
tau_t = 0.1 0.1 0.1
ref_t = 323 323 323
pcoupl = Parrinello-Rahman
pcoupltype = semiisotropic
tau_p = 5.0
ref_p = 1.0 1.0
compressibility = 4.5e-5 4.5e-5
pbc = xyz
DispCorr = EnerPres
gen_vel = no
nstcomm = 1
comm-mode = Linear
comm-grps = Protein_POPE SOL_CL-
energygrps = Protein SOL POPE
I then did
1)grompp -f new.mdp -n index.ndx -c old.tpr -o rerun.tpr -p topol.top
2)trjconv -f old.trr -n index.ndx -s rerun.tpr -o rerun.trr (when
prompted, I selected "0" system)
3)mdrun -s rerun.tpr -rerun rerun.trr
I notice that the previous post
http://oldwww.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-users/2009-January/038968.html
suggested to use tpbconv (on rerun.tpr) and trjconv (on rerun.trr) to
extract the protein only. While it was possible to do so with trjconv,
it wasn't feasible with tpbconv (I'm using gromacs 4.0.7) - I might have
missed out something as I did not get any prompt/output (see below)
tpbconv -s topol.tpr -n index_P.ndx -o rerun2.tpr

0 steps (0 ps) remaining from first run.
You've simulated long enough. Not writing tpr file
Looking at the code, tpbconv checks for whether there are any more steps
to simulate before even considering letting you use it in the "create
subset" mode. You could argue that this is buggy, because the way it
computes whether there are any more steps will always indicate no more
steps in such cases. However, the workaround is to use tpbconv -nsteps
-1 (as well as the other stuff). Let me know how this goes and I'll
update the documentation.
Using the g_energy command on the output energy.edr file, I got among
others, these options to choose
49 Coul-SR:Protein-Protein 50 LJ-SR:Protein-Protein
51 Coul-14:Protein-Protein 52 LJ-14:Protein-Protein
In order to get the energy of the protein, I reckon I have to add
49,50,51,52 (to account for the nonbonded components) and
I think that you can make a case either way for 1-4 interactions -
they're algorithmically similar to the other non-bonded interactions,
but their parameter values should be tightly coupled to some other of
the bonded parameters, but then in several forcefields those values are
just scaled versions of the normal ones... I'd guess most people call
them non-bonded.
1 Angle 2 G96Angle 3 Proper-Dih. 4
Ryckaert-Bell. 5 Improper-Dih
for the bonded components. However, I think 1-5 is the bonded terms for
the system and not the protein alone. Can anyone help me with this?
Compare values from reruns on the subset-tpr and the full-tpr. I don't
know whether/how well that works. In extremis, you should be able to
reduce the .tpr to a single interaction.
Also, on a slightly different note, this post
http://oldwww.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-users/2005-July/016307.html
suggested that the force constant of the solvent (DMSO) to be adjusted
to zero. Am I right to think that it does not apply to my case as my
protein-lipid system is solvated with SPC? (I read that SPC is rigid
water. I did not add -DFLEXIBLE in .mdp)
That was in the context of a full-tpr rerun. The point is that atoms
that have been constrained don't contribute to relevant sums. Because
you are using constraints, there's no "Bonds" energy sum for any atom
pair. Because the DMSO was a flexible model, its bonded-interactions
contributions need to be subtracted (i.e. parameters set to zero) to get
a group-wise bonded-interaction value.
Mark
Any help would be highly appreciated.Thanks!
