Hello all,
I have a fairly large protein system (approximately 394651 atoms including
solvent) that I have minimized, heated and equilibrated in NAMD and am
trying to perform the production run in AMBER (with CUDA) so that I can use
a specific aMD method. I utilized the latest version of ParmEd to convert
the PDB (taken from the last frame of the NAMD equilibration trajectory)
and PSF using the CHARMM c36_aug14 topology and parameter files as shown in
the commands below:
chamber -param par_all36_prot.prm -param par_all36_lipid.prm -param
par_all36_cgenff.prm -str toppar_water_ions.str -psf
C3_full_solv_ionized.psf -crd C3_full_solv_ionized.pdb
outparm C3_equil.prmtop C3_equil.inpcrd
After several errors during production run attempts and troubleshooting, I
finally utilized cpptraj to check the structure and found that there were
many clashes with atoms in close contact (<.2 A) with each other. I also
verified that these clashes did not exist before conversion in the input
PDB. Additionally, I repeated the conversion process with a much smaller
system (~17,000 atoms) and found that there was no issues there so I think
the size of my system could be affecting the conversion.
I was wondering if anyone else had any issues with converting large systems
using ParmEd and might have any suggestions or guidance for me.
Thanks,
