[gmx-users] Re: NAMD simulation in Gromacs

[oguz gurbulak]

Dear Dr. Roland Schulz, 
  
Thank you very much for your attention. I have Amber type ff  that includes bond, angle, dihedral and nonbounded interaction terms in Charmm file format. Should I use the patch to generate a gromacs topology from psf file ? 
 
I have NAMD created.coor and .vel files that have the final coordinates and velocities. Also I have a dcd trajectory file. And according to these informations what is the next step after getting the gromacs topology file to  continue a NAMD simulation in Gromacs ? What should I do ? 
 
Kind regards.

Dear Dr. Roland Schulz, 
  
Thank you very much for your attention. I would like to have a copy of patch that generates gromacs topology from psf file. And could you please explain how to use this patch in detail ? Because I have no information on Pär's scripts.
Do you have standard CHARMM or Amber FF? Than you don't need to convert the FF because it is already part of GROMACS. 
 







I think, In order to continue a NAMD simulation in Gromacs I should first save the last coordinates (.coor file in namd ) as a pdb file and convert it into gro file . But there are many ways to get a gro file
no you don't need to convert the coordinate file or get the last frame. 






  
- using pdb2gmx ( but I should choose the force field in gromacs. This may be a problem. ) By the way, I changed CHARMM force field and use Amber type force field in NAMD.
Don't understand what you mean? Do you use CHARMM or Amber FF? If it is a standard molecule (e.g. protein), it will be much easier to just use pdb2gmx to generate the topology.









Could you share your ideas about this process ? What should I do ? 
You would just do everything the same way as setting up a new simulation and use the last frame as starting structure. Make sure you use a structure which includes both coordinates and velocities. 






  Is there a way to get a tpr file from NAMD files?  
No. Not automatically. You need to get all the input files (grompp.mdp, topol.top, conf.gro) and then run grompp to generate your tpr.
