[gmx-users] Archaeal lipid packages for CHARMM36

Wainwright, Josh joshua.wainwright.11 at ucl.ac.uk
Wed Aug 13 18:22:16 CEST 2014


The lipid I'd like to use is called DPhPG, or officially 2,3-di-O-phytanyl-sn-glycero-1-phosphoryl-3'-sn-glycerol. 

:-)

Thanks,

Josh

Note the massive change in your box along z.  Something has gone terribly wrong
in the simulation.  Is your unit cell properly filled with water?  Do you notice
anything else bizarre going on?

OK, I forgot that. Thanks a lot, problem solved!

I should've mentioned that the those snapshots are of different system set ups. The first snapshot is for a system I set up by doubling the size of lipid box and placing the polymer just above the membrane. The second snaphshot is for a another system where I left the lipid box size as it was after equilibration and placing the polymer above the membrane. The only strange thing that I notice is the polymer is being almost 'repelled' by the bilayer.
Also is there an easy way to automatically fill the empty spaces in the box with water? The way I do it is quite tedious where I have to manually edit water boxes and position them to fill the empty space in the system box.
ThanksAlex

hello,

I am trying to generate free energy of solvation using g_bar gromacs tool,

i have carried out all steps given in manual for solvation energy, but when i am trying to use g_bar command it shows 'nothing to calculate'.

what can be the possible errors because i am not getting correct values?
