Subject: positive potential energy and large 1-4 EEL
To: amber.scripps.edu
Dear amber,
I am trying to make a modified Adenine nucleotide for RNA with amber9. I
followed the antechamber instructions. The charges came from Gaussian. The
structure looks like it should and after minimization and 1ns of MD, it
still looks OK. The problem is that its potential energy is positive. I
compared its partial charges and its internal energies against those of RA.
Charges look similar. This is the breakdown of the energies at the end of
minimization for both:
RA:
NSTEP ENERGY RMS GMAX NAME NUMBER
7299 -6.3915E+01 7.0464E-05 3.9110E-04 H62 21
BOND = 0.8902 ANGLE = 5.4119 DIHED =
19.9286
VDWAALS = -5.2890 EEL = -103.3183 HBOND =
0.0000
1-4 VDW = 8.8224 1-4 EEL = 9.6391 RESTRAINT =
0.0000
NA:
NSTEP ENERGY RMS GMAX NAME NUMBER
4822 5.3636E+01 8.8686E-05 2.9553E-04 C8 24
BOND = 2.6753 ANGLE = 25.7361 DIHED =
17.3886
VDWAALS = -6.8103 EEL = -194.3192 HBOND =
0.0000
1-4 VDW = 10.7541 1-4 EEL = 198.2115 RESTRAINT =
0.0000
Basically the difference is due to 1-4 EEL in NA. The two nucleotides are
very similar, except that NA has a triangular ring, which I suppose would
add some steric interactions. At the end, please find the missing
parameters that parmcheck comes up with. If the problem is with these
parameters, it is strange that it only shows up in 1-4 EEL.
Best wishes
Mey
