Polarizable CHARMM drude ff - missing parameters?

GROMACS version: 2016-dev-20181220-a2cab74156
GROMACS modification: Yes

Hello,

I am trying to setup a simulation using the drude-2013f_2018_10.ff available at: http://mackerell.umaryland.edu/charmm_drude_ff.shtml

I succesfully branched and installed the Gromacs version supporting polarisability (following the instructions at that webside) and successfully (or so it seems) created a topology using the modified version of pdb2gmx within that Gromacs installation.
The protein I’m trying to setup is the textbook example lysozime (1AKI).
I also explicitly set the termini residues to NTES (for charged N-terminus) and CTES (charged C-terminus).

My PDB2GMX command is: gmx_drude pdb2gmx -f 1AKI.pdb -p -o pdb2gmx_out -ter

PDB2GMX does its job, seemingly correctly. Adding the right atoms according to aminoacids.n.tdb and aminoacids.c.tdb.
However, the GROMPP step fails with a bunch of errors relating to missing (backbone) parameters from bond types to U-bond types.

Here an extract of the errors from GROMPP:

ERROR 1 [file topol.top, line 6479]:
No default Bond types
[…]
ERROR 6 [file topol.top, line 28416]:
No default U-B types
[…]
ERROR 9 [file topol.top, line 33591]:
No default Proper Dih. types
[…]

In total, for 1AKI, I get 14 errors.

I am wondering that this has something to do with the initial topology setup by PDB2GMX? Couldn’t find anything similar on the forum and was wondering if anybody else has experienced the same problem?

Thanks in advance for your time in answering my question! Any help will be enormously appreciated!

Cheers,
Davide

This is incorrect. NTES and CTES are only for zwitterionic, single amino acids. You are likely getting the wrong patching/atom type assignment. What you want are NTER and CTER.

Thank Justin. Very much appreciated.

NTER and CTER don’t show up as options. That’s what shows up for N-terminus:
Select start terminus type for LYS-1
0: NH3+
1: NTES
2: GNTS
3: None

and C-terminus:
Select end terminus type for ARG-128
0: COO-
1: COOH
2: CTES
3: CNES
4: None

I am guessing that NTER and CTER refer to choices NH3+ and COO- as charged termini of a chain. However, selecting those I get the following error in the creation of the topology:

Fatal error:
Could not find Drude when adding 1-3 Thole: CA-OT2

Thank you.
D.

Yes, that’s correct. Sorry, I spend most of my time in CHARMM these days :)

This shouldn’t happen, and I recall having fixed the code long ago to address this. Can you please provide:

  1. The full screen output of pdb2gmx, including the full error (with code line and commit hash - this will help me trace it)
  2. The compiler (and version) you used to build GROMACS

Hello Justin,

Many thanks for all the help with this:

This is the full screen from pdb2gmx:

I admit I’m stumped. In the past, I found that old (pre-5) versions of gcc generated incorrect code in this section though I never really resolved why. I’ve never tried compiling with the compilers you’ve used (and there’s no point assembling the entire gmx binary with MPI, anyway). There must be something upstream of this in the terminus patching that goes wrong. But admittedly all of the Drude construction on termini is a hack, because pdb2gmx doesn’t support adding atoms onto added atoms (e.g. it shouldn’t be possible to add DOT2 on top of OT2, which is added). I have a workaround in place, but this is something that is likely going to break pretty easily. It all works for me, though (Linux with gcc), so I thought the problem was fixed. Clearly it’s not.

Hello Justing,

thanks once again.
I have another machine (Ubuntu 18.04) and I have compiled the same code using GNU compilers 8.0.4 as I seemed to understand that compiling on Linux with gcc would solve the problem.
However, I still get the error.

What compiler version you are using?

Overall, is this going to be fixed at some stage or I should drop GMX altogether for calculations using a polarisation setup?

It seems that since GMX2019, polarisation (isotropic or anisotropic) is supported, however I am a bit confused how this relates to the hack in the drude branch.
http://manual.gromacs.org/documentation/current/reference-manual/functions/polarization.html

How does the topology get generated for applying polarisation in GMX 2019/2020?

Thanks for all the help.
Just still trying to understand if GMX is a good option for carrying out MD using polarisable ff.

Thank you.
D.

I am currently the only person working on this and my available time for coding is unfortunately very little. Now that I know something is broken that I thought I fixed about 7 months ago, I’ll probably go back into it more quickly. But I can’t promise when it will be ready. I’m aiming to include the Drude features in the 2021 release (which means I need to polish off the remaining code this summer, at least) but that’s a goal, not a promise. The core features all work (in my hands) in the Drude branch but you should treat anything from it as being beta testing. Don’t use it for science you hope to publish.

No relation at all. The current shell model support has largely been used for simulations of water. It doesn’t support everything that our more developed force field needs.

At present, I would say no, at least from the perspective of our Drude model. CHARMM, NAMD, and OpenMM are complete implementations. I apologize for the delay in getting our Drude stuff included in GROMACS (I know people want it) but again it’s just me doing the coding and only in spare time, which has been precious little for the last couple years.

Thanks Justin.

Got it, perfectly clear. While I hopefully wait to return to Gromacs once it will fully support polarisability via the Drude framework, I might (unwillingly) divert on other software (like OpenMM or NAMD for instance).

Of course no need to apologise, it would be great to see this implemented soon, but it’s totally understandable when you are the only one developing this!!

Thanks a lot for all the very appreciated answers!!

Cheers,
Davide

Fatal error:
Could not find Drude when adding 1-3 Thole: CA-OT2

For more information and tips for troubleshooting, please check the GROMACS
website at Common Errors — GROMACS webpage https://www.gromacs.org documentation

MPI_ABORT was invoked on rank 0 in communicator MPI_COMM_WORLD
with errorcode 1.

NOTE: invoking MPI_ABORT causes Open MPI to kill all MPI processes.
You may or may not see output from other processes, depending on
exactly when Open MPI kills them.

I have noticed a very frustrating compiler-dependent issue in topology generation. Basically, pdb2gmx can’t build your topology correctly. I don’t have a fix yet. The best idea is to use OpenMM or NAMD. The GROMACS support for the Drude model is limited.

Ok Sir. Thank you for your response.
