Sir, please make a video on enhanced sampling methods like umbrella sampling, accelerated molecular dynamics simulations for free energy landscapes calculations.
Thanks for wonderful work. Is it necessary that npt nvt and final production should have same steps and running time or nvt not may have less step and time tha final production
Thank you 🙏 Not necessarily but it has to converge. This is just an example but in real system it should have enough criteria to converge otherwise results might be bogus.
Yes, you are right. I have used it just for the sake of tutorial. You have to optimize based on your needs. Of course TIP3 goes will with CHARMM. With the 104 deg H-O-H angle TIP3P has slightly better structural and thermodynamic properties than SPC or SPC/E models (which have their own flaws). Another reason is that all of the CHARMM protein, nucleic acid, lipid, carbohydrate, etc., parameters have been developed wrt. to the TIP3P water model. The most promising (but costly) development is the TIP4Pew water model; diffusion is much improved, and the model is close enough to TIP3P that it should be a reasonable change for use with CHARMM macromolecule parameters.
Thank you for this great tutorial. My protein-ligand complex has two conserved water molecules and I want to retain them during simulation. Could you please tell how can I do it?
My pleasure. Firstly name the water molecules to WAT inside the protein ligand complex. Then add explicit solvent model as described by GROMACS. In this way you can identify your water molecules inside the complex otherwise everything will be named as SOL.
Thank you very much for your time and effort.👋👋 In the step of preparing the topology of the Ligand, in particular during the generation of the .str file (stream" file). I tried with a complex based on Iron II (organo-mitalic compound) but an error that blocks me, because element (iron) not supported. Please, Could you suggest me another method or another WEB server.
@@BioinfoCopilot First thank you very much, As you recommended me, I tried with CHARMM-GUI by option: Ligand Reader & Modeler but it does not work with complex (organo-metallic).
Hi, if you can help me please When i run the command to calculate the H-bonds ''gmx hbond -s md.tpr -f md_center.xtc -num hb.xvg'' I can't find anything ( the file hb.xvg does not contain the number of H-bonds). I also tchecked the ''complex.gro'' and i analyzed the RMSD, RMSF, Rg successfully. I use Gromacs 2023.
at early stage of the tutorial but why do we need to separate the ligand from the complex if we need to creat back the complex out of the separated ligand and the receptor? why don't we directly use the complex from vina result? can you make a video on the result analysis please, Sir?
@@BioinfoCopilot appreciate for your reply. Thank you! I have tried many tutorials on docking and MD simulations, but, as a new to the discipline, I found your tutors are really very helpful to get into it. would be grateful, as you did in the docking tutorials, if you can make a video on the MD result analysis, not sure if you make before.
Thank you for great tutorial. I got WARNING message for gmx grompp npt.mdp (skiped in your video). The WARINIG 1 is "The Berendsen barostat does not generate any strictly correct ensemble, and should not be used for new production simulations (in our opinion). For isotropic scaling we would recommend the C-rescale barostat that also ensures fast relaxation without oscillations, and for anisotropic scaling you likely want to use the Parrinello-Rahman barostat.". How do I solve thie warning? The process is finished with -maxwarn 1, but I wonder that what is fundamental problem in nvt.mdp for my complex data.
Like the error message you have received, you just have to modify the gromacs nvt parameters to see the results and compare with previous one. Since your system is a complex one I would recommend you to use CHARMM-GUI for the same.
Hi thanks for the awesome tutorial. I hv two main questions please! (1) My ligand’s name is not UNL or LIG or something, in my complex, the ligand is represented witg a star (*) sign so grep doesn’t work. So can I change the name manually in some text editor ? (2) the python script gives me the error: invalid syntax I hv double checked and I don’t think there is any issue with the command then I don’t know why? Any suggestions please. Thank you
Use Discovery Studio for renaming the complex file. Also update the same for .str file as well. I think there is a mismatch between the .str file and your ligand molecule. Fix that and I think it will definitely work. One more thing open the complex file in text editor and change the name to UNK or LIG. Yes you can do that.
hi sir . How does one extend the protein simulation in Gromacs ? for exemple 50ns finished and i want to extend it to another 50ns ? thanks in advance.

Great tutorial sir. I got some error like The residues in the chain GLN127--PRO390 do not have a consistent type. The first residue has type 'Protein', while residue TPO287 is of type 'Other'. Either there is a mistake in your chain, or it includes nonstandard residue names that have not yet been added to the residuetypes.dat file in the GROMACS library directory. If there are other molecules such as ligands, they should not have the same chain ID as the adjacent protein chain since it's a separate molecule. Can you please help to resolve this?
Use Swiss PDB viewer to fix the missing chains. Remove water molecules and ligands/small molecules etc. use the clean protein only then process it with pdb2gmx.
sir, I appreciate making this great tutorial video, I have a question about protein-ligand MD calculation on Gromacs, after I run protein-ligand python3 cgenff_charmm2gmx_py3_nx2.py UNL ligand_fixed.mol2 UNL.str charmm36-jul2021.ff, it show error as follows: File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/numpy/__init__.py", line 313, in __getattr__ raise AttributeError(__former_attrs__[attr]) AttributeError: module 'numpy' has no attribute 'int'. `np.int` was a deprecated alias for the builtin `int`. To avoid this error in existing code, use `int` by itself. Doing this will not modify any behavior and is safe. When replacing `np.int`, you may wish to use e.g. `np.int64` or `np.int32` to specify the precision. If you wish to review your current use, check the release note link for additional information.

Thank you for the amazing tutorial. Why did you divide by 3 (at 50:49) to solve error of the difference of the coordinates in topol.top and solv_ions.gro file ?
Thank you very much! I divided by 3 since we are going to add or subtract water molecules. H2O consists of 3 atoms so thats why I divide it by 3. The formula is highest number of atoms (coordinates) - lowest no. of atoms / 3

Hello sir. Your tutorial very helpfull for me to doing my undergraduate thesis. I have question, How long time for md production running? i was run production md 5000000 steps, 10000.0 ps. and takes time more than 2 days until now haven't done. I running on pc 4 ram and 8 vcpus. I running for 77 atoms. It is normal or something problem with my job? Thanks
Thank you very much! Yes it is normal to take couple of days to complete 10ns. You are using your laptop with minimal configuration. That’s why it is taking long time. Bur my question is what is your model that only contains 77 atoms? Let me know so that you can optimize your script.
If you add ions like Na and Cl , then you don’t have to add potassium ions again. To neutralize the system you need to add ions either NaCl or Kcl etc.
I believe our areas of expertise align closely. If you're open to it, we could greatly benefit from sharing scientific support. I have experience in DOC, DFT, and simulations using LAMMPS and now Gromacs .
