You *can* do anything, but the better question is if you *should* do that.  Is 
the carbohydrate important for function, stability, etc?  Are the dynamics of 
the nearby residues important to your study?

A stable run should never produce LINCS warnings.

Hi everyone,



I've been trying to understand an issue I've had with a simple molecule in
Gromacs (just 20 atoms) where gen_pairs=yes, nrexcl=3 and all of the atoms
carry some charge.  The system is non-periodic with no cutoff.  This is a
minimal test case derived from a more complex system (a lipid bilayer) where
I first saw this issue. 



My issue is that there is no "Coulomb-14" or "LJ-14" energy term, and the
potential energy does not depend on my setting of fudgeLJ and fudgeQQ.  When
I run gmxdump on my .tpr file, it does not output any LJ14 interactions.  It
does print out the value of fudgeQQ but this value doesn't have an effect on
the potential energy.



I thought that this molecule should have some 1-4 interactions because there
are several pairs of atoms that are separated by three bonds, and both atoms
have nonzero charge and LJ parameters.  I also wrote a Python script to
calculate the Coulomb and LJ energy just for this system, and I confirmed
that Gromacs was behaving as if fudgeLJ and fudgeQQ were both set to zero.
My example calculations are archived and documented here:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5381783/zerotor_excl3.tar.gz



If someone more experienced with Gromacs could look at my files and explain
how I'm misunderstanding the generation and treatment of 1-4 pairs in
Gromacs, I would highly appreciate it.



Thanks,



-          Lee-Ping Wang

Hi,

nrexcl = 3 means to exclude non-bonded interactions up to 3 bonds away, so
you're getting the "no 1-4 interactions" behaviour for which you
inadvertently asked. So set it to 2 and see how you go.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the explanation, and I tried your suggestion.  The energy with
setting "nrexcl = 2" is different from "nrexcl = 3", but changing fudgeLJ
and fudgeQQ does not affect the energy in either case.  There are still no
Coulomb-14 and LJ-14 energy terms from g_energy.  

I think what's happening is that when I set "nrexcl = 2", Gromacs calculates
the full nonbonded interaction between pairs of atoms separated by 3 bonds,
rather than a "1-4 interaction" which is counted as a different energy term
and is scaled by fudgeLJ and fudgeQQ.

This leads me to conclude that there are no 1-4 pairs created when
gen_pairs=yes in grompp.  gen_pairs=yes only generates the pair _parameters_
from the atom types, but not the pairs themselves.  There are only 1-4 pairs
when there's a "[ pairs ]" section explicitly defined in the topology file,
which pdb2gmx auto-generates for proteins for example.  Is this the expected
behavior?

Thanks,

- Lee-Ping
