Dear all,
I am simulating a small peptide (four residues) that have non-standard
residue, so I parametrized them using R.E.D. Server Dev. In adittion, this
peptide is solvated by chloroform.
I am interested in performing a conformational sampling of the peptide in
order to know its preferential conformations. I think about use accelerated
molecular dynamics (aMD) for that.
Unfortunately, I have had problems in the aMD simulations in NVT conditions
at 243.14K. At the beginning the simulation looks good, although, the
temperature oscillates around 10K. However, then aprox. 100000 steps, the
simulation produce hugh values in potential and kinetics energies. The
structure of the system (peptide and solvente) colapse, forming a structure
completed distorted for peptide and solvent.
aMD parameters used in the simulation, simulation parameter input and
simulation printed output are at the end of the mail.
Could anyone help me or try to give a orientation about the problem?
does aMD apply to non-biological systems? (I did not find bibliography for
similar cases or in material simulations)
Thanks in advance.
Gabriel
- Parameter and how I calculated are:
Average Dihedral : 87.9052 (based on MD simulations)
Average EPtot : -13042.6 (based on MD simulations)
total ATOMS=10166
protein residues=6
For the dihedral potential:
Approximate energy contribution per degree of freedom.
3.5*6= 21 The value of 3.5 kcal/mol/residue seems to work well
alphaD = (1/5)*21 = 4.2
EthreshD = 21+87 = 109
alphaP = 10166*(1/5)=2033.2
EthreshP = -13042.6 + 2033.2 = -11009.4
iamd=3,EthreshD=109,alphaD=4.2,EthreshP=-11009.4,alphaP=2033.2,
