exact mapping of cholesterol molecule was created by initram
Hi,

I can't find exact mapping from all atom cholesterol to CG Martini.
Does anyone know exact mapping, in other words what goes to SP1,SC1,SC3,SC1,SC1,SC1,SC1, and C1?

I think that it would be good practice to have exact mapping available in the topology file.

Thank you.

What if there's no "official" mapping to it? I believe a suggestion can be found in the Backward tool directory, but doesn't have to be it. Mapping for cholesterol, due to the multiple rings structure, is quite hard to define...

Hi Clement,

Thank you for your answer.

In the paper "The Martini Force Field: Coarse Grained Model for Biomolecular Simulation" I see that "several different geometries for cholesterol" were tested and a model from the Figure 1. is the one that author adopted. Even more, very helpful Table 2 is given, but the borders between beads in Figure 1 are not clear. I see overlaps between different beads and that makes me hard to figure out the real mapping. I know that I could probably start with any mapping but I would really like to use the one from the paper.

Thank you again

Hi Initram,

In the paper you quote, I deduced the topology of cholesterol by the figure 1 also. I try the mapping like I show in another post (Cholesterol and beads for NAMD use). You can see the mapping for cholesterol and a proposed answer for topology to the end.
If you disagree with the design, do not hesitate to say so.

Bingo!

I independently mapped cholesterol this morning and I got the same topology as you did. Now, this is encouraging for me, but I have to say that I am not an expert in Martini FF and I can't confirm that this is 100% correct and it looks to me that it differs from this post: "mapping for cholesterol" ( md.chem.rug.nl/cgmartini/index.php/forum...ping-for-cholesterol )

Here is my mapping:

chol; type; atom

C2; SP1; ROH
H2A
H2B
C3
H3
O3
H_(O3)
C4
H4A
H4B


C1; SC1; R1
H1A
H1B
C5
C10
C19
H19A
H19B
H19C


C6; SC3; R2
H6
C7
H7A
H7B
C8
H8


C9; SC1; R3
H9
C11
H11A
H11B
C12
H12A
H12B


C14; SC1; R4
H14
C15
H15A
H15B
C16
H16A
H16B


C13; SC1; R5
C18
H18A
H18B
H18C
C17
H17


C20; SC1; C1
H20
C21
H21A
H21B
H21C
C22
H22A
H22B
C23
H23A
H23B


C24; C1; C2
H24A
H24B
C25
H25
C26
H26A
H26B
H26C
C27
H27A
H27B
H27C

Thanks

The link is for a topology in gromos, I used another definition for numbers of atoms ( eatingacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Cholesterol.gif ). In gromos, the numbers begin at CH3(19 for us) is CH3(1), CH(10) is CH(2), C(1) is C(3) ...
So, we are :
(beads in gromos) numbers in gromos -> numbers in official nomenclature

(ROH) C4/C5/C8/O6/H7 -> C2/C3/C4/O3/H3

(R1) C1/C2/C3/C9 -> C19/C10/C1/C5
(R2) C10/C11/C12 -> C6/C7/C8
(R3) C13/C14/C15 -> C9/C11/C12
(R4) C18/C19/C20 -> C14/C15/C16
(R5) C16/C17/C21 -> C13/C17/C18

(C1) C22/C23/C24/C25 -> C20/C21/C22/C23
(C2) C26/C27/C28/C29 -> C24/C25/C26/C27

Which is reassuring: the mapping of cholesterol, for the post you mention and us, is exactly the same. I just compare this morning with this : lipidbook.bioch.ox.ac.uk/version/downloa...file/cholesterol.itp
I am not a specialist for MARTINI but it seems ok.

Hi Marie,

I rechecked mapping from the previous post and you are right, I omitted one atom in the list (C9 -> R1).I guess we have exact mapping now.

By the way, I think that a lot of people in future will benefit from your explanations and conversions.

Cheers

Agreed.

Thanks to have kept this feed alive! Merci Marie-Ange for your input. And thanks both of you for the demonstration of how wrong I was: coming up with the same mapping proves it isn't so hard to define after all...

I think I'm going to suggest a page on the website with such mappings... Recipe, explanations and examples.

I am pleased to see that the mapping is correct, without this post I would never have been sure that the cholesterol that I use is right. Thanks you Initram and Clément.

It would be a good idea to put examples of mapping of molecules to help mapping of new molecules by users according to their needs.
