各位好,我想计算一个大分子在一种有机溶剂中的溶解自由能,但在第一步能量极小化时出现了如下的报错
- Fatal error:
- There are perturbed non-bonded pair interactions beyond the pair-list cutoff
- of 1.05 nm, which is not supported. This can happen because the system is
- unstable or because intra-molecular interactions at long distances are
- excluded. If the latter is the case, you can try to increase nstlist or rlist
- to avoid this.The error is likely triggered by the use of couple-intramol=no
- and the maximal distance in the decoupled molecule exceeding rlist.

经过搜索,我在这两个讨论贴(https://gromacs.bioexcel.eu/t/sy ... calculations/4891/7和https://gromacs.bioexcel.eu/t/ti ... intramol-no/4656/13)中看到有人回答对于柔性大分子最好使用couple-intramol=yes。因此,我尝试将couple-intramol=no改为couple-intramol=yes,之后确实可以正常运行。
同时回答者提到(https://gromacs.bioexcel.eu/t/ti ... intramol-no/4656/13)Large, flexible molecules tend to fold onto them selves and get stuck in one conformation with couple-intramol=no. It’s better to avoid that.
Note that you need to do an extra free-energy calculation for coupling the ligand to the solvent when using couple-intramol=yes.
查询得知当设定couple-intramol=yes时,需对研究的分子在溶剂环境和真空环境下各计算一次自由能,再对得到的两个自由能求差值,即为溶解自由能。
我使用的gmx版本为2022.6,对于真空环境下的计算,是不是直接构建一个较大的盒子,将我要研究的分子放入,然后使用NVT系综进行计算呢?而我在溶剂环境下计算使用的是NPT系综,两个环境使用的系综不同会对结果有影响吗?(真空环境似乎也不能用NPT系综)
另外的话,我看gmx提示
- NOTE 1 [file md_0.mdp, line 42]:
- For proper sampling of the (nearly) decoupled state, stochastic dynamics
- should be used
复制代码 查询gmx手册得知此时不需要设置热浴,但热浴的时间常数是否需要修改呢?(我看一些教程中将tau_t设为1.0,但手册中建议用2ps,而一般V-rescale热浴设的是tau_t = 0.2)
还请各位老师指定,万分感谢
