Here post your question Dear Gromacs users
I am trying to equilibrate a protein-ligand system but getting following note:-
Removing center of mass motion in the presence of position restraints
might cause artifacts
I am not removing center of mass and my mdp file is as below:-
title = Protein-ligand complex NVT equilibration
define = -DPOSRES ; position restrain the protein and ligand
; Run parameters
integrator = md ; leap-frog integrator
nsteps = 500000 ; 500 ps
dt = 0.001 ; 2 fs
; Output control
nstenergy = 500 ; save energies every 1.0 ps
nstlog = 500 ; update log file every 1.0 ps
nstxout-compressed = 500 ; save coordinates every 1.0 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_NAP_NAS_G6P Water_and_ions ; two coupling groups - more accurate
tau_t = 0.1 0.1 ; time constant, in ps
ref_t = 298 298 ; 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 = 298 ; temperature for Maxwell distribution
gen_seed = -1 ; generate a random seed
Can you please suggest me why I am getting this note and which parameter should I choose?
Thanks in advance
