Hello Maya,


Yes, there is a limit in the total number of residues. If you want, you may alter the following block at $AMBERHOME/src/pmemd/src/constantph.F90 and recompile pmemd.


! Limits on the sizes of the data structures
#define MAX_TITR_RES 50
#define MAX_TITR_STATES 200
#define MAX_ATOM_CHRG 1000
#define MAX_H_COUNT 4


However, it is advisable to reduce the number of residues in your cpin file rather than doing this. Increasing the number of residues reduces the computational efficiency of your simulation. In general, people only consider the residues of interest for titration at a given value of pH (or pH range) instead of titrating all possible residues. You may run a short simulation titrating all just to check which residues are important to you.

I hope this helps,
All the best,

Dear Vincius,

Thank you for your mail. You were right that I had not set the
icnstph flag for the equilibriation. When I include that flag,
the equilibriation fails with the same error as before.

"forrtl: severe (18): too many values for NAMELIST variable"

It must be something wrong with my cpin file, but I cannot
figure out what that might be. I did create a new cpin for the
explicit simulations. I have been trying to titrate HIP, CYS, LYS
and TYR residues on my protein. So the equilibriation currently
fails when I use the cpin generated using following command -

cpinutil.py -p test.prmtop -resnames HIP LYS CYS TYR -igb 2 -o test.cpin
-op test.mod.prmtop

However, it runs successfully when I use the cpin from

cpinutil.py -p test.prmtop -resnames HIP LYS CYS -igb 2 -o test.cpin -op
test.mod.prmtop

Is there a limit on the maximum number of residues that can be allowed to
titrate? Could
that be the reason for my error?

Appreciate your help with this.

Thank you
Maya
