分子动力学模拟学习2-Gromacs运行分子动力学模拟
1. 把上一步生成的Enzyme.gro和Enzyme.top文件改个名字
cp Enzyme.top topol.top
cp Enzyme.gro complex.gro
2. 能量最小化
首先准备能量最小化mdp文件 em_real.mdp ,示例如下
; minim.mdp - used as input into grompp to generate real_em.tpr
; Parameters describing what to do, when to stop and what to save
integrator = steep ; Algorithm (steep = steepest descent minimization)
emtol = 1000.0 ; Stop minimization when the maximum force < 1000.0 kJ/mol/nm
emstep = 0.01 ; Minimization step size
nsteps = 50000 ; Maximum number of (minimization) steps to perform
; Parameters describing how to find the neighbors of each atom and how to calculate the interactions
nstlist = 1 ; Frequency to update the neighbor list and long range forces
cutoff-scheme = Verlet ; Buffered neighbor searching
ns_type = grid ; Method to determine neighbor list (simple, grid)
coulombtype = PME ; Treatment of long range electrostatic interactions
rcoulomb = 1.0 ; Short-range electrostatic cut-off
rvdw = 1.0 ; Short-range Van der Waals cut-off
pbc = xyz ; Periodic Boundary Conditions in all 3 dimensions
gmx grompp -f em_real.mdp -c complex.gro -r complex.gro -p topol.top -o em.tpr
gmx mdrun -v -deffnm em

em_real.mdp文件中的各项参数说明:
(1)integrator:
=steep:用最陡下降法做能量极小化。
=cg:用共现桃度法做能量极小化(不支持约束)。
=l-bigs:用L-BFGS法做能量极小化。
=nm:做正则振动分析( 必须双精度版)。
(2)emtol: 能量极小化时最大受力小于多少就认为收敛(kJ/mol/nm).默认为10.0。
当最大作用力小于此值,认为最小化过程收敛。一般蛋白-配体中是1000、500。
(3)emstep: 最陡下降法最大步长(nm)。默认0.01。
(4)nsteps: 动力学或能量极小化的步数上限,指定最大迭代次数。
之后运行能量最小化
gmx grompp -f em_real.mdp -c complex.gro -r complex.gro -p topol.top -o em.tpr
gmx mdrun -v -deffnm em
3. NVT平衡
首先准备NVT所需mdp文件 nvt.mdp ,示例如下:
title = NVT
define = -DPOSRES ; position restrain the protein
; Run parameters
integrator = md ; leap-frog integrator
nsteps = 50000 ; 2 * 50000 = 100 ps
dt = 0.002 ; 2 fs
; Output control
nstxout = 500 ; save coordinates every 1.0 ps
nstvout = 500 ; save velocities every 1.0 ps
nstenergy = 500 ; save energies every 1.0 ps
nstlog = 500 ; update log file every 1.0 ps
; Bond parameters
continuation = no ; first dynamics run
constraint_algorithm = shake ; holonomic constraints
constraints = h-bonds ; bonds involving H are constrained
shake-SOR = no
shake-tol = 0.0001
; Nonbonded settings

DispCorr = EnerPres ; account for cut-off vdW scheme
; Electrostatics
coulombtype = PME ; Particle Mesh Ewald for long-range electrostatics
pme_order = 4 ; cubic interpolation
fourierspacing = 0.16 ; grid spacing for FFT
; Temperature coupling is on
tcoupl = V-rescale ; modified Berendsen thermostat
tc-grps = Protein Non-Protein ; two coupling groups - more accurate
tau_t = 0.1 0.1 ; time constant, in ps
ref_t = 300 300 ; reference temperature, one for each group, in K
; Pressure coupling is off
pcoupl = no ; no pressure coupling in NVT
; Periodic boundary conditions
pbc = xyz ; 3-D PBC
; Velocity generation
gen_vel = yes ; assign velocities from Maxwell distribution
gen_temp = 300 ; temperature for Maxwell distribution
gen_seed = -1 ; generate a random seed

关于各参数的含义,参见后面md.mdp文件中的参数解释。
需要注意的是,前面我们利用的AmberTools来产生top文件,因此如果我们这里用POSRES来做位置约束的话,需要将topol.top文件中的ifdef flexible修改为ifdef POSRES,否则此步中会出现warning。
之后运行NVT平衡
gmx grompp -f nvt.mdp -c em.gro -r em.gro -p topol.top -o nvt.tpr

md.mdp文件中各项参数含义:
(1)title=MD:标题,可任意定义(最长64个字)
(2)define:常涉及到的是-DFLEXIBLE,会使水分子不被SETTLES算法约束成刚性。当利用posre.itp对位置进行限制时可用-DPOSRES使之生效.
(3)integrator: 决定当前任务干什么。
=md (默认) :leap-frog( md蛙跳算法)方式做动力学。
=md-vv:用Velocity-Verlet方式做动力学,在功能上有一些限制。
=sd:做随机动力学(Langevin动力学)。
=bd:做布朗动力学。
(4) tinit:动力学开始的时间(ps)。 默认0
(5) dt:动力学步长(ps)。默认0.001 (1fs),一般我们都使用0.002。
(6)nsteps:动力学或能量极小化的步数上限,指定最大迭代次数。
(7)init-step: 起始步数, 对非平衡模拟, 精确重启或重做某部分模拟时, 设定为重启步编号。
(8)nstxout = 0:输出trr坐标10000
nstvout = 0:输出trr速度 10000
nstfout = 0:输出trr受力 10000
nstxtcout = 5000:如果这个数比前三者小的多,那么其就会很大,比trr都大。
compressed-x-precision =5000:写入xtc轨迹的精确度。默认为 (1000)
compressed-x-grps:选择输出到xtc文件里的group, 默认为system。该参数只影响xtc轨迹,不影响trr轨迹。如果想在做动力学的时候就只把蛋白写入轨迹文件中,可以mdp中设compressed-x-grps = non-water。一般我们用体系即可。之后再根据需要用trjconv来处理获得包含水的轨迹文件。
nstlog=5000:每多少步输出一次各种能量信息到log文件,默认为1000。
nstenergy:每多少步输出一次能量信息到.edr文件,默认为1000。
(9)constraini-algorithm ;设定约束算法
=LINCS(默认):使用LINCS方法约束,但不能约束键角。
=SHAKE:使用SHAKE方法约束,没LINCS可靠不能用于能量极小化。
之后运行md.mdp
gmx grompp -f md.mdp -c npt.gro -r npt.gro -t npt.cpt -p topol.top -o md.tpr
gmx mdrun -deffnm md
