Dear Falgun,
You should always try to run the simulation in serial first before trying it
in parallel. Often when you run in parallel any error messages get lost in
all the noise from the other processors, MPI instances etc.
Note you should also send questions to the amber mailing list
(amber.scripps.edu) see
http://amber.scripps.edu for details of how to
subscribe. Here you will typically get your questions answered more quickly
than I can get to them as I have very little spare time to spend going
through my email etc.
Anyway, to answer your question:
r1146.redwood:~> mpirun -np 1 $AMBERHOME/exe/sander -O 5-HT_init_min.in -o
5-HT_init_min.out -c 5-HT_min.incrd -p 5-HT_min.prmtop -r 5-HT_init_min.rst
The error you got is fairly explanatory. It is saying that 5-HT_init_min.in
is an unknown flag. This is because it thinks it is a flag like -i or -o
rather than a file name. This occurs because you have no -i on your input
line. It should read:
-O -i 5-HT_init_min.in -o 5-HT_init_min.out ....
Note also that if you really only plan to run on 1 processor then you should
not use the MPI version of amber since this has extra overhead that means it
runs slower than the non-mpi version. Plus you are using the non MPI
executable and running it with mpirun - you can just use
$AMBERHOME/exe/sander you don;t need mpirun in front of it.
In addition if you have restraints you have to specify a reference structure
for the restraints. Typically this will be the same as the initial structure
specified with -c. So in this case you need to add:
-refc 5-HT_min.inpcrd
to the end of your command line above.
All the best
Ross

Respected sir
I am falgun shah graduate student in department of medicinal chemistry at
university of Mississippi. I encounter problems during submitting my job to
sander module of AMBER'08 for initial minimisation. I am fresh user of
AMBER'08 and i hope you will help me to solve the problem.
I have to submit my receptor(GPCR) for dynamics and energy minimization.
For initial minimisation, I want to fix backbone atoms of helices (7helices)
only (keeping sidechain atoms and hydrogen free) and try to minimize
remaining system. my homology model contain approx 350 residues. I want to
do invacuo minimization. I have prepared init_min.in file but it is
showing error. something like there are too many variables. can you suggest
me how should i prepare file
my init_min.in file:
Minimization with Cartesian restraints
&cntrl
imin=1, maxcyc=200,
ntpr=5,
ntr=1,
restraint_wt=1.0,
restraintmask=':26-46, 58-72, 109-123, 139-155, 166-189, 281-299, 313-330'
/
this will lead to restrain all atoms of these residues which i don't want.
(although this is not working). please suggest me what should i do. I have
tried without giving restrain
for which my init_min.in file is:
5-HT_MIN, 12 angstrom cut off
&cntrl
imin = 1,
maxcyc = 500,
ncyc = 100,
ntb = 0,
igb = 0,
cut = 12
/
but is is showing following error:
r1146.redwood:~> mpirun -np 1 $AMBERHOME/exe/sander -O 5-HT_init_min.in -o
5-HT_init_min.out -c 5-HT_min.incrd -p 5-HT_min.prmtop -r 5-HT_init_min.rst
mdfil: Error unknown flag: 5-HT_init_min.in
