Error when running initram.sh was created by Romero
Dear all,

I am trying to make the backward transformation of my coarse-grained system (which contains 1 protein, 300 DPPC and 7000 W, and run for 450 ns). I am trying with backward method. I have followed religiosly all the steps in the tutorial and have got some help from gromacs tutorial to make the atomistic topology file.

I have got the atomistic topology file in which i have included itp files for DPPC (i have also compare it with the one in the example and it seems it is alright), I have got the cg structure file.

However I keep getting this:

[]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/raquel/ACADWORK/ATOMISTIC/BACKWARD/GBA/GBA-ATOM-11/backward.py", line 821, in <module>
raise ValueError, "Unknown residue: %s\n"%resn
ValueError: Unknown residue: ALA


What can I do? Help me please!

PS I am using Gromacs 4.6.2 and I have tried with both Gromos43a1 and Gromos53a6.

Thanks

I am trying to make the backward transformation and get almost identical error except Unknown residue: ARG.
I tried same on system without protein too then I get similar error again, this time about DPPC.

Can you post more information? What is in your system and what command line did you use to run? Then what output did you get in the terminal?

I found post in mailing list and did:

./initram.sh -f insane.gro -p topol.top -to gromos

Now it complains only about my custom built lipids. I think that is normal.

Now I get:

Fatal error:
No such moleculetype SOL

I give same topol.top file I use for my Martini simulations. This one:

#include "martini_v2.2P.itp"
#include "martini_v2.0_lipids.itp"
#include "martini_v2.0_ions.itp"
#include "Protein.itp"

#define RUBBER_BANDS

Or I should provide other topology file to -p flag?

-p Input atomistic target topology

So not that one I pasted above?
From where I can get it?

The atomistic target topology is required to let the program know what you want to get out. You will certainly also need it to run the subsequent atomistic simulations.

The protein topology can be generated with pdb2gmx from the original PDB file. You'll need to have atomistic topologies for the lipids, #include them in the atomistic .top file and add the names and numbers under [ system ], just like the list in the coarse grained one you have. The water and ions you can leave out, as these are generated automatically, except that you do need to #include "spc.itp" and "ions.itp".

Hi tsjerk,

When im running the command:./initram.sh -f md.gro -p topol.top -to gromos -p system.top with little modification in initram.sh is shows following stuff:

NOTE 1 : You are using a plain Coulomb cut-off, which might produce artifacts. You might want to consider using PME electrostatics. Largest charge group radii for Van der Waals: 0.254, 0.254 nm Largest charge group radii for Coulomb: 0.254, 0.254 nm This run will generate roughly 86 Mb of data Steepest Descents converged to machine precision in 407 steps, but did not reach the requested Fmax < 10. Potential Energy = -6.4093130e+06 Maximum force = 4.4133960e+03 on atom 460 Norm of force = 3.9089390e+01 but apart from this it is running very well. Fmax <10 is not reached but the steepest descent is converged my doubt is that it will create any problem, Should i ignore this? because after getting backmapped.gro file again i have to do minimization, equilibration and final production run (20ns).[file 2-EM.mdp]:

initram.sh uses pretty simple schemes to quickly relax the configuration. The purpose is to generate a structure that is reasonable and that can be used for further (refinement) simulations. initram.sh has an option -mdp that allows providing your own mdp files, which will be used after the initial relaxation. The advice is to first add a short equilibration (~0.1 ns) run under production conditions (NpT) with a reduced time step and after that start the production run:

initram.sh -f ... -p ... -o ... -from ... -to ... -mdp equilibrate.mdp -mdp production.mdp

Hi tsjerk,

When im using the default initram.sh file along with im keeping the trash file to check that the structure is converged or not. so i found that than em1.log and em2.log shows:
Steepest Descents did not converge to Fmax < 10 in 501 steps.
Potential Energy = -4.9557420e+06

but rest of the things like nvt(300K) at 0.2 0.5 1.0 and 2.0 fs are completed so should i ignore the energy convergence steps? if yes than after getting backmapping.gro structure i can further run minimization.

That's not a problem. Please check the Gromacs user list on more background information regarding energy minimization.

The structure that comes out of backward/initram is already relaxed. You don't need to energy minimize. Just start a short run under your production simulation conditions, possibly with a reduced time step and maybe using Berendsen pressure coupling for better convergence. Then after that you can go straight to production.
