I need help with domELNEDIN. >.< was created by yipy0005
Hi, i saw on this page:
users-birc.au.dk/leat/domELNEDIN/
on how to generate the topology for domELNEDIN. What I wish to ask is, with this topology, do I still have to run minimization, npt, nvt, and dynamic simulations? If not, what do I do with it?
Thanks.
Thanks.

"domELNEDIN" is strictly the same as ElNeDyn. Doesn't add or remove anything. Proceed as usual.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I read from elsewhere that the ELNEDIN model doesn't allow conformational changes and domELNEDIN model does. So if you said that both are technically the same, does that mean the trajectory I obtained from ELNEDIN = domELNEDIN?

None of them allow secondary structure changes; following the Martini force field philosophy. What they really mean is that you can observe changes in the contact surface between two subunits of a protein if they're are not linked together and restrained by an elastic network.
In fact, it just depends on how you define the elastic network in the first place: for each of your subunits separately or for the entire protein. If no strings are linking the two subunits, you'll observe "conformational changes" and slight modification of the interactions between them.

So you are saying, if I have 2 units within 1 protein and I don't apply elastic network (the "string") to them, I will observe conformational changes when viewing the CG trajectory?
What I'm actually trying to do now is I wish to see the internal dynamics of a large protein (E.g. PPAR) where I hope to see more intense movements between the helices. I tried the AA approach, but due to the time scale, there's absolutely no way to visualize such internal motions. That's why I'm resorting to CG and ELNEDIN. So if I apply ELNEDIN throughout the whole protein, what are the chances I will get to see the more intense internal dynamics of the protein?
Thanks. =)

I'd advise not to put strings between subunits in proteins in general, i.e. define and apply ElNeDyn on each subunit separately.
What do you mean by "see more intense movements between the helices"? Remember you're using an elastic network...

Okie, if I understood you correctly, I'm rephrasing the idea into an example:
I have protein with 2 subunits, so if I want to see if they interact, then it's advised I "strung" them up in each subunit but not between them, and with the time scale advantage provided by CG, I may just be able to observe some conformational changes BETWEEN the 2 subunits, and not within.
So now, instead of a protein with 2 subunits, I have a protein that consists of let's say, 20 helices linked from N- to C-terminus. Using an AA approach, it would take me ages to obtain a simulation whereby I see the helices interacting with each other within the protein. So, in this case, since it's a time-scale problem, do I simply run it using CG without ELNEDIN?
Hopefully, I ain't confusing you too much with the way I phrase. >.<

That's it.I have protein with 2 subunits, so if I want to see if they interact, then it's advised I "strung" them up in each subunit but not between them, and with the time scale advantage provided by CG, I may just be able to observe some conformational changes BETWEEN the 2 subunits, and not within.
Either you do that, either you try to remove the elastic network between each helices (keeping the elastic network internal to each helix). But all in all, the effects you want to observe here might be too fine to be seen in CG... To be tested.So now, instead of a protein with 2 subunits, I have a protein that consists of let's say, 20 helices linked from N- to C-terminus.

How do I keep the elastic network internal to each helix only?

You'll need to write something yourself I'm afraid... A small python script parsing the indices and removing the elastic strings linking different helices from the topology. Shouldn't be too hard to do! ;-)

O.O -> X.X Can provide me with some clues to proceed with? Haha, I really have no clue. >.<
