GROMACS modification: No
I am trying to simulate protein-ligand complex, where ligand was parameterized using acpype. When I check with gmx dump command and visualize the trajectory I see that ligand is not restrained during equilibrium simulations. I am providing the topol_new.top, and posre_UNK_itp.log below.
the mdp file that I use shown below;
title = Protein-ligand complex NVT equilibration
define = -DPOSRES ; position restrain the protein and ligand
; Run parameters
integrator = md ; leap-frog integrator
nsteps = 500000 ; 2 * 500000 = 1000 ps
dt = 0.002 ; 2 fs
; Output control
nstenergy = 5000 ; save energies every 10.0 ps
nstlog = 5000 ; update log file every 10.0 ps
nstxout-compressed = 5000 ; save coordinates every 10.0 ps
; Bond parameters
continuation = no ; first dynamics run
constraint_algorithm = lincs ; holonomic constraints
constraints = h-bonds ; bonds to H are constrained
lincs_iter = 1 ; accuracy of LINCS
lincs_order = 4 ; also related to accuracy
; Neighbor searching and vdW
cutoff-scheme = Verlet
ns_type = grid ; search neighboring grid cells
nstlist = 20 ; largely irrelevant with Verlet
rlist = 1.2
vdwtype = cutoff
vdw-modifier = force-switch
rvdw-switch = 1.0
rvdw = 1.2 ; short-range van der Waals cutoff (in nm)
; Electrostatics
coulombtype = PME ; Particle Mesh Ewald for long-range electrostatics
rcoulomb = 1.2 ; short-range electrostatic cutoff (in nm)
pme_order = 4 ; cubic interpolation
fourierspacing = 0.16 ; grid spacing for FFT
; Temperature coupling
tcoupl = V-rescale ; modified Berendsen thermostat
tc-grps = Protein_UNK Water_and_ions ; two coupling groups - more accurate
tau_t = 0.1 0.1 ; time constant, in ps
ref_t = 310 310 ; reference temperature, one for each group, in K
; Pressure coupling
pcoupl = no ; no pressure coupling in NVT
; Periodic boundary conditions
pbc = xyz ; 3-D PBC
; Dispersion correction is not used for proteins with the C36 additive FF
DispCorr = no
; Velocity generation
gen_vel = yes ; assign velocities from Maxwell distribution
gen_temp = 310 ; temperature for Maxwell distribution
gen_seed = -1 ; generate a random seed
topol_new.top (1.0 MB)
posre_UNK_itp.log (2.7 KB)
I have check the output of gmx dump -s npt.tpr | grep posres, it is obvious only protein atoms are restrained.
can anyone help to solve that issue? thanks.
