Gromacs 5.0 - Equilibration was created by ttubiana
Hello everyone

I know there is already some post about equilibration, but most of them was unanswered or not outdated because of the version 5.0 of gromacs.

So I post a new question :-)

I try to build a good mdp file for the Equilibration step (I will work on a virus Capsid at the end). I tried first on a dimer (~1040 amino acids) and it crashed. There is the error message :

step 35300, will finish Wed Feb 10 15:50:07 2016vol 0.51  imb F  1% 
A list of missing interactions:
                Bond of   5669 missing      1
          exclusions of   6620 missing      1

Source code file: /home/thibault/Downloads/gromacs-5.0.7/src/gromacs/mdlib/domdec_top.c, line: 210

Software inconsistency error:
Some interactions seem to be assigned multiple times

And there is my mdp file (based on Martini mdp file martini_v2.x_new-rf.mdp ):

It was runned on a 24 cores system.

Can someone see what's wrong or help me to build a good equilibration step?
Thank you very much :)

There's a few things I can spot, but maybe someone else would like to chip in as well.
Firstly, use a larger timestep (i.e. 10fs), unless you have a very good reason not to.
Secondly, don't split your solvent and ions in separate temperature coupling groups ( www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Terminology/Thermostats ).
Thirdly, refcoord-scaling=none should also work, unless you have position restraints.

And lastly, make sure we're not missing anything: how did you create your topology? Did you run an energy minimization prior to this equilibration?

Thank you very much!
It works better now!
I have kept refcoord-scaling=all because I use position restraints.

And yes I've made 2 minimizations (one of the protein in vaccum, then I solvate and neutralize, and I run another minimization, longer). For my topology I use martinyse.py :)
I also reduce the number of core to 16. And it sounds like with this protocol more than 32 cores is not allowed...

Kind Regards,
Thibault.

No problem.

The number of cores is usually limited by the system size: a larger systems allows for more parallelization.

If you run into further troubles, what version of Martinize and Martini are you using?

Hi,

I would like to know, if there is updated page to get the new mdp (minimization.mdp, equlibration.mdp) files to run protein in DPPC bilayer using the martini ff for the Gromacs 5.

The files that I downloaded from this page:
www.cgmartini.nl/index.php/tutorials-gen...ntroduction/proteins
are not updated for the Gromacs 5.0.

Thank you for your help

Try cgmartini.nl/index.php/mdp , and particularly the new-rf. These parameters come from www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0010465515003628 .
I'll see if I can get someone to update the tutorial(s).

Hello friend,

The minimization.mdp for Gromacs 5 is still not updated on the website.

Can someone paste the content of the mdp file here itself so that we can use.

Thanks

Just pick your favourite set of parameters you find at:

www.cgmartini.nl/index.php/force-field-p...ers/input-parameters
(please check also the associated reference)

and adapt to get an minimization mdp set. Basically you'll need to change the following couple of lines:

integrator = steep
nsteps = 20000
