Protein structure collapsing was created by aabhatt
Hi,

I want to simulate a protein with a membrane using Martini 3.0 + elastic approach, and I am following the tutorial at www.cgmartini.nl/index.php/tutorials/37-...11-tutorial-proteins .

martinize2  -f step3_input.gro -o protein_martini.top -x fittedprotein_proa.cg.pdb -dssp
~/anaconda3/bin/mkdssp -p backbone -ff martini3001 -elastic -ef 3000 -el 0.5.

Even when I apply a force of 8000, my structure collapses after 10-20 ns (in its 3D configuration).
Could you please provide any suggestions regarding the problem?

Did you try doing the tutorial with the default protein first? Then we can be sure everything is working fine for you.

Also, a higher force constant is not equal to higher stability.

Given the information you have provided there is little more I can do for you atm.

Hi,

I have checked with the Martini 2.2 (1000 force) and it's perfectly fine.

In Martini 3.0, I increased the upper cutoff from 0.9 to 1.2, and the protein pore is not completely collapsing; it is partially collapsing.

Could you provide an idea about the upper and lower cutoff values? What do they actually mean? Are the lower and upper cutoff values regarding the z-coordinate of the protein or something else?
