[gmx-users] Regarding calculating energy autocorrelation function

Dear Gromacs user's,
                                      Could anybody tell me how to calculate energy autocorrelation function using Gromacs. I need it to take statistically uncorrelated snapshots for further calculations or somebody has done the same using some other method that is available in gromacs will also suffice. 

Thank you

I just did. It turns out that when there is a charged lipid in the system
(as in my case), charmm-gui increases the effective concentration to
compensate for the system's net charge. I have pasted my discourse with
them below.

My email:
I have a question. I generated a membrane using the charmm-gui membrane
builder. The server generated a 2POPC:1POPS bilayer in a box with water.
The box dimensions were 135.355 A x 135.355 A x 130 A. I asked membrane
builder to added 140 mM KCl, and it recommended 232 positive ions and 46
negative ions. I also made this ion calculation by hand using the volume of
the box, and my calculation gave me 201 positive ions for 0.14 M. If I
calculated the concentration of ions based solely on the amount of water
molecules in the box (54682 water molecules), I obtain 139 positive ions to
make 0.14 M. I am trying to figure out where is the discrepancy is.

Reply:
The discrepancy arises from the net charge of the system since you have PS
lipid types. So, your effective concentration should be higher to
compensate such system net charge.

Dear All,

While converting LJ parameters from Amber to Gromacs, acpype tool (that is
used for converting Amber input files into those for gromacs) uses
following form:

sigma = 2 * r * 2^(-1/6)

I understand the factor 2^(-1/6), but there is another "2" that appears in
the beginning. Where is that factor coming from? That factor does not arise
when we choose following forms for LJ potential functions in Amber as well
as Gromacs.

Amber:

Gromacs:

Thanks in advance!

IIRC, Amber stores values in its parameter files as Rmin/2, hence the need to 
multiply by 2.

Hi Dear Gromacs Users,

I am running a umbrella samplimg simulation with gromacs 4.6.5, this
simulations is a molecule permeating an ion channel, i decided to use X Y
position restraints 400KJ , but i
am not pretty sure if this kind of bias if a real mistake, i was wondering
if anyone know how to use de fbposred function (bondfree.c) from gromacs 5,
in order to use it with gromacs 4.6.5, in order to get a Flat bottomed
potential ,

Because i dont want to affect to much my PMF calculation

Thanks in advace

Thanks for the explanation Rossen.I hope mailman gets some more artificial intelligence in coming future :).cheers,Abhi
