Hi,
I performed the reverse transformation following the tutorial (making the mapping, adjusting the same number of FG_W and performing the 4 annealing simulations) but the final structure doesn't have the secondary structures just a few helices.
Have I done something wrong? Here is the image of my protein after the last annealing (the optional one) and below is the MDP.

The protein structure You want to transform back is taken from CG Martini simulation , wright ? Did You check the structural changes on the coarse grained level (RMSD), maybe there is some unrealistic events during the run. Which atomistic forcefield do You use ?

I checked the RMSD and there were none unrealistic events during my simulations. The atomistic forcefield I used for reverse CG is 53a6 with mapping.

In the 53a6 there is a problem with backbone dihedral angles, i.e helices are not stable and unfold. There is correction for the backbone dihedral angles from Alan Marks group flying around, we use it in Groningen, i dont know if it is already published, if not i may try to send You the file. The 43a2 or Amber is much more stable in this respect. During the reverse transformation unfolding will be much more pronounced because the dihedrals will equilibrate in the minimal configurations, which are not the ones for the helix.

Second thing, did You use the dihedral constraints generated with g_dihfix , to constraint backbone dihedrals ?

I did not use the dihedral constraints. Do you think my problem is because of that?
What do you suggest me: try to use the constraints or change the forcefield (to 43a2) first? In the website of professor Alan Mark I did not find the correction for the 53a6. Maybe it's not available/published yet.

Constraints, with g_dihfix You generate constraints for dihedrals with high barriers, the ones that in normal temperature occupy only one minimum, even if there is more available, namely the barrier is too high to jump, like for peptide bond. If there is no constraints, because in the procedure You start from random positions, all minimums will be occupied, which is not what You want.

Sorry for taking too long to answer.
I performed the transformation in 53a6 again with g_dihfix and performed another one in 43a2 with g_dihfix, but none of them worked. I get almost the same result as previous.
What should I do? Could the g_dihfix with "-fc 10" not be enough for my protein? Should I change this value?

I cannot give You straight answer from what You write, so if You want I can check the input files ( This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. ), to see if there are any mistakes.
