Hi Sasha,
Okay, that is just weird... I suspect there is a parameter that is making something collapse onto another atom, perhaps a dodgy VDW radii. I assume all the test cases pass without problems.
Something to try.
Set Maxcyc=200, ncyc=200, ntpr=1 and ntwr=-1
This way you will be able to see every step in the mdout file. You will also get a restart file for every step. In this way you can look at the structure immediately before it turns to NaNs and see how it differs from th initial structure. This will hopefully identify which atom / region is causing the problems.
All the best
Ross

Hi Sasha,
Can you post the output file from the minimization? You probably have two atoms sitting on top of each other or very close.
All the best

Subject: RE: AMBER: Problems simulating a protein-ligand complex
Hi Ross,
thank you for the detailed instructions (although I'm trying to use GB and avoid having to add explicit solvent).
I did get a complex with the correct position of the ligand (used Sirius to check the prmtop/inpcrd). But at the stage of minimization I run into NaN values for all energies after about 100 steps (in the minimization out file). Not sure whether it's missing parameters or something else.. frcmod file had the following:
IMPROPER
c3-cc-na-cc 1.1 180.0 2.0 Using default value
h5-na-cc-nd 1.1 180.0 2.0 Using default value
c -cc-cd-nd 1.1 180.0 2.0 Using default value
cd-nc-c -o 10.5 180.0 2.0 General improper torsional angle (2 general atom types)
na-nc-cd-nh 1.1 180.0 2.0 Using default value
cd-hn-nh-hn 1.1 180.0 2.0 Using default value
cc-cd-na-hn 1.1 180.0 2.0 General improper torsional angle (2 general atom types)
cd-na-cc-na 1.1 180.0 2.0 Using default value
But again, I'm not sure what could cause the issue with NaN values. Since the ligand is a triphosphate, I set its charge to -3 (using -nc -3 flag for antechamber). In any event, I'm a bit low on possible causes..
Can you think of anything in this regard?
Thanks again
Sasha

Hi Sasha,
I would do something along the lines of the following:
1) open protein pdb in a text editor and remove the END (at the end) and just make sure there is a ter card there. Also remove any connectivity data.
2) open the ligand pdb file and remove anything prior to the first atom definition. Go to the end and remove everything past the last atom definition and just add an END card.
3) cp protein pdb to complex.pdb
Cat ligand pdb >> complex.pdb
4) load leap
Source leaprc.ff99SB
Source leaprc.gaff
Loadamberprep ligand.prep
Loadamberparams ligand.frcmod
Foo = loadpdb complex.pdb
Solvateoct foo TIP3PBOX 10.0
Saveamberparm foo prmtop inpcrd
I hope that makes sense and is what you actually want to do I.e make a prmtop and inpcrd for the solvated complex.
All the best

Subject: Re: AMBER: Problems simulating a protein-ligand complex
Thank you, David.
With hydrogens added in another application, the antechamber part worked.
But another issue appears when I combine the protein structure with the antechamber output in xleap. The ligand is loaded as a prepin file, followed by its frcmod with missing parameters. Then I load the pdb file of the protein and use complex = combine { protein GNP }, where GNP is the name of the residue assigned to the ligand. However, the ligand ends up being shifted in space far from the protein, even though the initial coordinates corresponded to the complex.. I assume that it's the result of the intermediate operations.. but is there a way to combine the two entities into the original complex?
Thanks for any advice
Sasha

You don't have any hydrogen atoms in your input structure. Antechamber
doesn't know how to add hydrogens...you need to draw them in by hand, or
use some other model building program to add all of the hydrogens.
...hope this helps...dac
