Dear MARTINI users,
I have a problem to include a positions restraints file in the topology file (gromacs). My system is 8x8x1 DPPC lipids coarse grained (I took 1 single molecule from the dppc_water.gro, erasing the rest and the water) and construct the layer with genconf.
I center the system (0,0,0) in a bigger box with sizes 10.5532 11.68792 6.105482
I make genrestr for generate the posre.itp, selecting the only group thet exists, DPPC. Then I make my topology like:

&&&&&&&&&&&&

#include "/home/pedrueza/monolayer/dppc_single/cg/martini_v2.0.itp"
#include "/home/pedrueza/monolayer/dppc_single/cg/martini_v2.0_lipids.itp"

; Include Position restraint file
#ifdef POSRES
#include "/home/pedrueza/monolayer/dppc_single/cg/posre.itp"
#endif

[ system ]
DPPC MONOLAYER

[ molecules ]
DPPC 64

&&&&&&&&&

Then I minimaze the energy. First, without “define = -DPOSRES ; position restrain the lipids” in the .mdp file, and everything is OK (surprisingly, in VMD the molecules seems that they don`t move!!!). But when I activate the -DPOSRES and run grompp, I get the following error:


Fatal error:
[ file posre.itp, line 29 ]:
Atom index (25) in position_restraints out of bounds (1-24).
This probably means that you have inserted topology section "position_restraints"
in a part belonging to a different molecule than you intended to.
In that case move the "position_restraints" section to the right molecule.

One solution I probe is to insert the “; Include Position restraint file
“ lines into the martini_v2.0_lipids.itp, at the end of DPPC definition, by this way:

but again I obtain the same error, this time with different numbers:

Fatal error:
[ file posre.itp, line 17 ]:

This probably means that you have inserted topology section "position_restraints"
in a part belonging to a different molecule than you intended to.
In that case move the "position_restraints" section to the right molecule.


I understand that the numeration must be incorrect, but it seems correct when I see the files. The make_ndx command generates the same type of file that following the genrestr options. Maybe is a problem of isolated one DPPC molecule?

Can anyone help me?. I will be gratefull with any help that you can provide me.

P.D.:

Hi,

the position restraint file can only have force constants for each atom/bead in the itp. So if you include it in the molecule itp (second version you tried) it should only have indices up to 12. Remove the rest of the lines from your posre.itp and you should be fine.

Btw. the reason why the first thing you tried complains about index 25 is that the last lipid defined in martini_v2.0_lipids.itp has 24 beads. Adding the #ifdef POSRES after the #includes in the .top file is basically adding it to the last molecule definition in the last #include. You should think all the #includes as copy pasting the whole file to that place in the .top file.

From a first glance it looks you made the same mistake as the original poster. The postiion restraints are supposed to be for each bead in the itp file, not in the gro file. Since you do not have 2377 beads defined in the itp, GROMACS gives you an error.

Is this a CG system? If yes, then I would not necessarily use the GWDG example mdp file since it is meant for atomistic systems, at least as far as I can tell.

If you are working with a Martini membrane and protein, then I would recommend using insane to build such systems.

First of all, thank you for kindly reply.
Yes, it is a CG system. I build a protein membrane system by using insane.py script.
by using following command
python insane.py -f lhcii_em.gro -o system.gro -p system.top -pbc cubic -box 25,25,9 -l FPGG:14 -l DFGG:72 -l FPMG:14 -l DFMG:100 -l JFPG:14 -l FPSG:42 -l JPPG:14 -u FPGG:14 -u DFGG:72 -u FPMG:14 -u DFMG:100 -u JFPG:14 -u FPSG:42 -u JPPG:14 -salt 0.1 -center -sol W

Then i did enenrgy minimization after that i am doing nvt equilibriation by using the command
Fatal error:
An atom moved too far between two domain decomposition steps
This usually means that your system is not well equilibrated

Are you running the NVT simulation on all available cores? If yes, try running a few hundred ps on just a single core.

yes, i am running NVT simulation after enenrgy minimization

I am using these command
gmx grompp -f martini_nvt.mdp -c em.gro -p topol.top -n index.ndx -o nvt.tpr
gmx mdrun -v -deffnm nvt

then i tried by using -nt 1 option or -nt 8 option
gmx mdrun -v -deffnm nvt -nt 1

but i am getting error after 20 ps, after that i got LINCS warning.

In CG system
I am trying to run NVT simulation after energy minimization. it ran 10 ns sucessufully but after that i got the error
Fatal error:
Step 109300: The total potential energy is -nan, which is not finite. The LJ
and electrostatic contributions to the energy are 0 and -22524.4,
respectively. A non-finite potential energy can be caused by overlapping
interactions in bonded interactions or very large or Nan coordinate values.
Usually this is caused by a badly- or non-equilibrated initial configuration,
incorrect interactions or parameters in the topology.

what is the meaning of -nan?
Please suggest me something, how can i solve this error?

NaN = Not a Number. Effectively your system blew up, and one or more terms has such a large value that GROMACS does not want to keep track of it anymore. You can check the GROMACS mailing list for more information.

The output you have copy-pasted here most likely contains the reason for your error: "Usually this is caused by a badly- or non-equilibrated initial configuration,
incorrect interactions or parameters in the topology".

Ok, thank you so much for your reply but i did not got any solution on mailing list.

I am runnung the simulation further by using -cpt npt.cpt -append option but it stop every 1ns or 2ns run and gave same erreor. so i am using -cpi npt.cpt -append option everytime.

the command that i am using
gmx mdrun -v -deffnm npt -ntmpi 1 -ntomp 1 -pin on -tunepme no -nstlist 400 -nb gpu -pme gpu -cpi npt.cpt -append

it is going wrong, isn't it?

Are you still using the same mdp file you posted here before? If yes, then what you are seeing is likely an error caused by faulty topology. Which system is it that you are simulating, and where did you get the itp file from?

My system is plant thylakoid bilayer and chlorophyll a (CLA) system.

I have equilibriated bilayer without CLA for 1 microsec NPT succesfully.
after that i added CLA molecules in equilibriated bilayer by "gmx editconf' command. Then did energy minimization sucussefully. but during equilibriation i got this error (potential energy ) after 5 or 10 ns run length.

I did not found CLA gro file at martini website. i have taken it from my freind.

Please suggest me something. i am still stuck at this error.

I'm not surprised, the topology looks weird to say the least.

You can find a Martini 2 compatible topology of CLA and other PSII cofactors here: cgmartini.nl/images/parameters/ITP/topologies.zip

Dear Vainikka
I am trying to insert protein-complex in lipid bilayer by uding insane script as you suggested earlier.
used command is
python insane.py -f lhcii_em.gro -o system.gro -p system.top -x 8.5 -y 8.5 -z 8 -pbc cubic -l JPPG:5 -u JPPG:5 -center -sol W

i did energy minimzation succefully then i am tring to NVT equilibraition but after 20 ps i got the following error

please suggest me something. is their any other method available for protein insertion in bilayer?

A few things you can try:

1. During initial steps of equilibration, replace constraints by bonds. Depending on the .itp file you have, you might be able to do this by defining something like -DFLEXIBLE in the .mdp file.

2. Run insane again in hopes you get a more relaxed starting configuration.

3. What is the minimum value of force you get from EM? If it is high, run it again.

4. Place your protein in an empty box and run energy minimization on it before giving it to insane.

5. Lower the timestep, and possibly lower tau-t values.
