Thank you very much for your response.

I used pdb4amber before antechamber and the error didn't occur, there must be some problem in the input file. Anyway, as my protein has a calcium ion on the active site, I preferred to do it according to this tutorial I found http://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial20/mcpbpy.htm. I will post here if I have any problem.

Thank you!

Thank you very much for your response.

inosine is standalone as a nucleoside, so I will need to make my own parameters. Would you have any clue on how could I do it?

I tried with the antechamber too using gaff2, but it also failed to generate the force field.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Thamires

Hi everyone,

I need accurate velocities to calculate correlation functions. I was
wondering if the velocities written by sander and pmemd take periodic
boundary conditions into account. For example, if a molecule jumps from one
end of the box to the other end because of PBC over an MD step, does the
corresponding velocity include the artifact of jumping across the box in
one step or is that excluded? In other words, does the velocity trajectory
include ridiculously large velocities due to wrapping? If yes, is there a
way to turn that off?

Thank you!
Daniel Konstantinovsky

Hello Amber Team,

Is there anyway to add counterions in cpptraj to make the net charge zero? I know tleap has good functions to accomplish this, but I was wondering if there's an easier way to do this in cpptraj directly.

Thanks for your support in advance.

Best regards,

Hi

Is all of these cases, when we switch from protonated to unprotonated,
what happenes is that the proton one 'removes' is still there, as you
said, but its charge is zero and so is it vdw parameters.

Bond, angles, torsion s are all still being computed, but by turning off
electrostatics and vdw, those energies are not counted when trying to
change protonation state or when doing dynamics in the unprotonated state.

The proton, even as a ghost, still moves around and it can change
rotation. Once you protonate it again, it just stays where it is from
when it was a ghost, but now it acquires charge and vdw energies.


Is this ok ?

Wrapping is off by default. You have to turn it "on" by setting iwrap=1, but
that should be necessary only in a very few situations. We recommend the
defaults, which use netcdf format for trajectories and restart files, and
leaving iwrap=0. (If you later need to do some imaging for visualization
pruposes, use the command in cpptraj for that purpose.)

That said, I don't think you will get odd velocities if you do set iwrap=1.
But you could run a test to make sure.

Initially, we were using amber 12 for 3D-RISM calculation using
*rism3d.snglpnt.MPI
command*.
Then, we have updated the amber12 software to amber20. We have tried to run
the following script for 3d rism calculation-
*rism3d.snglpnt.MPI --pdb pdbname --prmtop parameterfie --closure kh
--buffer -1 --solvcut 32 --verbose 2 --xvv SPC-1D.xvv --solvbox
128,128,128 --ng 256,256,256 --grdspc 0.5,0.5,0.5 > logfile*
the SPC-1d.xvv file is generated using 1D RISM.
The following error is coming: *ERROR: a RESTART or TRAJ file is required*

*In the amber20 manual, it is written the required inputs are "pdb file,
prmtop file and xvv file". *
So my query is (a) why is this error coming?
(b) If a restart file has to be used, which restart file should I use? (as
I have tried with the initial restart file that is generated during system
preparation: in that case the system is reading coordinates from the
restart file whatever the pdb is given, and the output is similar for
different pdbs.)
(c) If a traj file has to be used, which traj file should I use?

I have my own prmtop write to create an input forcefield to pmemd. I could find all the necessary information to parameterize the protein / ligand from the forcefield files provided in the dat folder of the amber installation. The only section I can?t write is the RADII and SCREEN section to fully support all GB modes. I would like to know where tleap looks to write this section. Where do these numbers come from? Which parameter files are read to fill the section with the appropriate values for the corresponding atom types. We cannot depend on the amber tools and hence are trying to write a fully compliant prmtop file.

 In the source code you gave me I couldn?t find any SCREEN value 0.79, 0.72 or 0.85. So I am still puzzled how tleap gets these exact numbers.

 Dear all amber users,

I'm studying a protein that has inosine as its substrate. I'm not getting amber to recognize inosine when I load the PDB file into tleap. I researched that amber has parameters for inosine, but I don't know how it recognizes the pdb.

Hi everyone!
When performing the MCPB step ?MCPB.py -i 1OS7.in -s 2?, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/kastner/packages/miniconda3/envs/AmberTools21/bin/MCPB.py", line 665, in <module>
    gene_pre_frcmod_file(ionids, premol2fs, stpdbf, stfpf, smresf, prefcdf,

    print('YES', atyp2 + massparms[atyp1], file=fmf)
KeyError: 'OW'

My system is the hydroxylase TauD and I am exploring a conformation where there are waters coordinated to the Fe metal center. I am performing the calculation with AmberTools21 and g16. I have read over all similar posts and have ruled out common errors that can cause this such as assigning the wrong ?ion_ids? to the metal and incorrect atom types. I also reran the calculation with g09 but saw the same behavior. I am following the tutorial exactly and have successfully used MCPB many times before but have never encountered this error. Interestingly, if I use an older version such as AmberTools16, it does not throw this KeyError: 'OW' error for the oxygen in the water molecule coordinated to the metal. Any help would be much appreciated! I can also share the directory if anyone has seen a similar error.

Thank you,
David

In answer to my own question, I created a new environment and I've downloaded and installed AmberTools21 from source.

However, having now looked through the manual pdf, and compared it to the HTML page dating 2015 which begins with running genMetalFF.sh, all of the required variables for MCPB.py aren't in the bcl files that genMetalFF originally generated.

Rather than hack around hoping something will work, is there a latest and greater bonded model tutorial specifically designed with the latest MCPB.py in mind?

Thanks
Anthony

Subject: Missing mtkpp directory after installation of AmberTools21

Dear all,

I'm a new user of AMBER but a long time MD modeller and I'm hoping I can get some help resolving a post-installation concern over what and where some of the files are.

I am trying to step through the bonded metal-binding centre tutorials given here: https://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial20/mcpb.php

The only difference is that I'm using my own set of pdb files. Six in total; two zinc-based and four calcium-based coordination centres.

I installed AmberTools21 in Linux (in fact, it was WSL2 Ubuntu) using conda. The installation didn't flag up any problems.

These are my concerns/issues:

Firstly, as per the tutorial linked above, I wasn't able to find genMetalFF.sh in my AMBERHOME directory structure. So, I downloaded the file from the link provided in the tutorial and generated the corresponding setup files for MCPB.

Then, the next slight concern I ran into was upon investigating zinc_1201_settings.bcl (one of my generated files) I noticed the directory structure AMBERHOME/dat/mtkpp/ is missing!

Finally, before resorting to this email, I was unable to find the MCPB executable. Instead, I'm able to find MCPB.py (of which, I've noticed the command line arguments are slightly different to the command line arguments of MCP B). Either way, I decided to execute the python executable and I got the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/ubuntu/miniconda3/envs/AmberTools21/bin/MCPB.py", line 67, in <module>
    options.step = options.step.lower()
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'lower'


All suggestions are welcome.

Many thanks
Anthony

Look in amber20_src/AmberTools/src/parmed/parmed/tools/changeraii.py.
That has python code for assigning radii and screening parameters. You
should be able to adapt this to your codes.

....good luck...dac

I don't know that inosine is in any standard library. You might look
closely at the research you did, to find more details. Further, "inosine"
as a protein substrate is probably chemically different from the nucleotide
"inosine" that might be incorporated into a nucleic acid. (e.g. your pdb
file looks like a nucleoside.

It is likely that you can just feed your ligand to antechamber to get GAFF2
parameters. It's also worth doing a search on "inosine Amber", if you've
not already done that.

Some one on the list might also chime in with some more detailed help.

No. Coordinate wrapping (from iwrap=1) only affects the coordinates
that are written to trajectory/restart files. Internally, the
coordinates are not modified. So iwrap does not affect velocities (or
forces). If you see otherwise, definitely let us know, that would be a
bug.

Hi,

No. While there are some commands that are related to modifying
systems, Cpptraj is really just for trajectory processing/data
analysis. I think if I started adding general system preparation
commands I'd be asking for a lot of trouble :-). Not that I haven't
been tempted at times...

Dear Thamires,

You need both an lib file and frcmod parameters. If it is standalone inosine as a nucleoside, you will need to make your own parameters.

For just the inosine base charges in a nucleotide:

I have ESP charges for inosine in RNA.
https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/ja9842565 <https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/ja9842565>

As well, SantaLucia and Schlegel have RESP charges for the base,
all_modrna08.lib and all_modrna08.frcmod
https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ct600329w <https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ct600329w>

The PDB format doesn't store topology information, so most programs
(including cpptraj, VMD, etc) have to try and guess at how things are
bonded. Depending on the structure, those guesses are not always
correct. You would be better off using a format that has actual
topology information (i.e. mol2, amber topology, psf, etc) when
clustering/visualizing the output. In fact, I recommend that you write
out mol2 files instead of PDBs from your clustering so you can see
exactly what cpptraj thinks the PDB topology is.

Yes - that version is before the cluster silhouette calculation was
introduced (also it's about 7 years old!). I always recommend using
the latest version from either AmberTools or direct from GitHub:
https://github.com/Amber-MD/cpptraj

Note that when cpptraj started being developed primarily on GitHub, I
moved from the old AmberTools versioning scheme with 2 numbers
(<AmberToolsVersion>.<patch>) to an internal versioning scheme with 3
numbers (<major>.<minor>.<revision>). So the more recent versions of
cpptraj are numbered <major>.<minor>.<revision>.

My intent is using cluster to find the lowest energy structure

Plot twist & update:
We managed to perform the GPU swap and, for now, it appears that the
problem is the power supply. The TITAN V GPU is now in a computer with
better (80+ bronze) power supply and has been running during the last 24
hours without any kind of problem. On the contrary, the RTX2080 GPU that is
now in the former TITAN V computer, has crashed after running for 12 hours.
Remarkably, no cudaMemcpy error appeared in the output, but it seemed that
the hard drive could't be accessed at all. We are going to run some
additional tests just to confirm this, but it is clear that the problem is
not in the code nor the GPU nor the simulated system.
Thank you all for all the help!

Gera!

It's not clear what you mean here - which file had 11 columns? Can you
post the exact input you are using, and point out the file that you
unsure about that has 11 columns?

Yes. You are projecting the coordinates of CA atoms of residues 1-831
on the eigenvectors read in from evectors.dat (presumably generated
from the same coordinate selection), only for eigenvectors (modes) 1
and 2.

Hope this helps,

Hello all.
Is it useful to use ntp=1, ie pressure coupling, in gas phase simulations
for polymer ( that is without solvent) in the equilibration stage like in
http://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial27/pet.htm ?
Does that make any change over an NVT simulation at the same conditions ?

Santo

Hi,

No. While there are some commands that are related to modifying
systems, Cpptraj is really just for trajectory processing/data
analysis. I think if I started adding general system preparation
commands I'd be asking for a lot of trouble :-). Not that I haven't
been tempted at times...

Hello Thamires,

The best practice could be to obtain your ligand from the parameters
developed by F. Lankas et al. for deoxy-inosine in:
1) http://amber.manchester.ac.uk/
2) Nucleic Acid
3) deoxy-inosine (di)

Best regards,
Hector.

Hi Gera,

Power supply is often an issue if it isn't beefy enough but another thing that can cause the behavior you see is a bad PCI-E riser, either on the motherboard or as an adapter that provides for multiple PCI-E slots. As such you may want to try a different PCI-E slot if you can. Although I would also try ruling out the power supply first.

All the best
Ross

Other suggestions on the list are good ones. But if you want to pursue
making your own force field, just saying "failed" doesn't allow anyone to
offer help. You need to say what you tried, and what the result was.

(a) running constant pressure for a gas-phase simulation indeed makes no
sense: the internal pressure comes mostly from the solvent.

(b) As far as I can see, in the tutorial you cite, the simulations not only
have ntp=0, but they have ntb=0 as well, which is correct: without solvent,
one almost always wants to carry out a non-periodic simulation.

I don't know the answer to this one. I think a pdb file should be allowed,
provided that it was created by something like ambpdb, so that the order of
atoms is the same as in the prmtop file. But ambpdb requires a restart
or trajectory file, so requiring one of the latter is not supposed to be a big
burdern.

>(b) If a restart file has to be used, which restart file should I use? (as

If you have done anything after the initial system prepartaion
(minimization, dynamics), you should have a restart file that corresponds to
the end of such a run. You need to choose a file that has the coordinates
you wish to use.

If you just have a generic PDB file (not coming from Amber) you will
probably need to feed that to tleap in order to obtain the desired restart
file.

Razil,

some time ago we used a (somehow) similar system, namely trehalose with
two acyl chains. To be consistent within the ligand system (and to avoid
any cross-terms between forcefield borders), we decided to use only
Glycam atom types there and applied the Glycam charge parameterization
scheme.

If you are interested, have a look into the Supplementary material there:
https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-23624-8

But I guess, St?phane's work might be more related to your ligand system.

Good luck,

Hi Priya,

The behavior change sometime before Amber 19. I'm not sure why and the change didn't make it into the manual.

Though it adds an extra step, the workaround is quite straightforward. You can create a restart file or single frame .nc trajectory file using cpptraj. E.g.,

cpptraj -p parameterfile -y pdbname -x restart_or_traj_name

The resulting file will have identical coordinates to your PDB file (which you still need to include).

Hope this helps,

Tyler

Hi, Dr.
Thank you for the response.

I've tried to use CT atomtype from the GLYCAM for the acyl chain but when I ran parmchk and generated the frcmod file, there are angles, bonds and dihedral angles that requires attention (ATTN, need revision).

How do you resolve this and where should I refer to get the values?

Thank you, Dr.

Hello experts,
I'm currently trying to build a forcefield for a glycolipid molecule. I'm using the GLYCAM forcefield for the sugar headgroup but there's no parameter for the alkyl chain.
I've calculated the partial charges using Gaussian09 and took the parameters for the alkyl chain from the GAFF forcefield.
Is this method practical and correct to be used? Please advise.

Thank you.

Hi Anthony,

As Dave said, the new version of AmberTools does not have MCPB in it.

MCPB.py has a different usage from MCPB, which means it does not need the genMetalFF.sh script anymore.

Here are two tutorials for MCPB.py: https://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial20/mcpbpy.php <https://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial20/mcpbpy.php>, https://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial20/mcpbpy_heme.php <https://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial20/mcpbpy_heme.php>.

Hope it helps,

Razil,

the choice of atom types in a unit to be parameterized is crucial for
its forcefield description, since from the combination of bonded atoms,
triples (angle terms), and quadruples (torsion terms) it is determined,
whether force field parameters already exist or not.

We did not use atom type CT for our approach for acyl chain atoms;
like Stephan?, we used a RESP charge generation approach (via the
RED-Server), similar to the orginal Glycam philosophy. This is all
described in detail in the Supplementary Material of our manuscript.

If parameters are missing or marked as need revision, parameters from
similar terms may potentially be used. Then, however, test simulations
should be run to ensure the validity of this approach.

Good luck

Anselm

Hello,

If you cannot use the CT atom type for your model (without further optimisation) you could use the glycam web server to get the parameters by analogy

http://glycam.org/tools/molecular-dynamics/oligosaccharide-builder/build-glycan?id=1

For the RESP charges, as anselm.horn, we used the RED server and followed the GLYCAM philosophy (your could read the SI of our paper too)

How do you resolve this and where should I refer to get the values?

My next question is why did you choose RESP for the charges?

Thank you, Dr.

Razil.

Hello

You could take a look of my paper see

1. Abel S, Dupradeau F-YY, Raman EP, MacKerell AD, Marchi M. 2011 Molecular simulations of dodecyl-?-maltoside micelles in water: influence of the headgroup conformation and force field parameters. J. Phys. Chem. B 115, 487?499. (doi:10.1021/jp109545v)

I developed RESP charges for glycolipids and used them with GLYCAM parameters

Good luck

Objet : [AMBER] Building Forcefield for Glycolipid Molecule

Hello experts,
I'm currently trying to build a forcefield for a glycolipid molecule. I'm using the GLYCAM forcefield for the sugar headgroup but there's no parameter for the alkyl chain.
I've calculated the partial charges using Gaussian09 and took the parameters for the alkyl chain from the GAFF forcefield.
Is this method practical and correct to be used? Please advise.

Thank you.

Hi Pengfei,

Thank you for clearing this up.

Perhaps opening up the actual scientific dilemma behind my enquiry might prove fruitful.

I'm attempting to parameterise 4 calcium ions and 2 zinc ions in a metalloprotease. The last time I parameterised metal for a protein was quite a few years ago and I did it by writing my own 2nd derivative of the Hessian-based model using a Gaussian log file. Unfortunately, I don't have access to a Gaussian license anymore. I've requested a GAMESS-US license, but I've never used that before.

Are there any empirical calculations I can perform to derive force constants? To satisfy charges I believe I can still use the RED server.

Thanks
Anthony

Hi Anthony,

As Dave said, the new version of AmberTools does not have MCPB in it.

MCPB.py has a different usage from MCPB, which means it does not need the genMetalFF.sh script anymore.

Here are two tutorials for MCPB.py: https://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial20/mcpbpy.php <https://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial20/mcpbpy.php>, https://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial20/mcpbpy_heme.php <https://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial20/mcpbpy_heme.php>.

Hope it helps,
Pengfei

Instead, I'm able to find MCPB.py (of which, I've noticed the command line arguments are slightly different to the command line arguments of MCP B).

Your email subject said "gas phase simulation", so I was replying to that.

You can indeed do crystal simulations, but "relax[ing] to the solid phase"
is something I've not seen. For sure, start a first simulation with atomic
coordinates near what you expect the final result to be, to get experience
about what to expect.

I expect it will be extremely tricky to get an ntp=1 simulation to go from a
gas-phase volume to a solid-phase volume. (Put in other words, I don't
think current codes can do it, but I've never tried myself.)

Hi,

Cysteine coordinated Zn ion have got displaced from it's positions during
the MD run when the protein was subjected to certain external perturbation.

I wonder, if through the MD simulation can we also expect to see that the
displaced Zn ion will move back to it's normal coordination position, once
we remove the external perturbation?

Any suggestions (or references of MD simulation work using Amber) may be
helpful in which the movement of the coordinated ions (influenced by the
application or removal of any external perturbation on the protein system)
in or out of their coordination geometry has been observed previously.

Thank You,

Amit
