Thank you Carlos.
It is the input file that I used. I firstly fix the position of the
receptor active site by position restraint as folllows:
Production MD
&cntrl
imin=0, saltcon=0.5
nstlim=5000, dt=0.002, ntc=1, ntr=1, nmropt=1
ntpr=100, ntwx=100,
cut=16, ntb=0, igb=1,
ntt=3, gamma_ln=1.0,
tempi=300.0, temp0=300.0,
/
&wt type='DUMPFREQ', istep1=10 /
&wt type='END' /
DISANG=1.restraint
DUMPAVE=1_md1.result
Keep upper residues 1 2 3 4 fixed with weak restraints
10.0
RES 1 2 3 4
END
END
Then, In order to monitor the PMF along 1D axis, defined as the distance
between residue 4_at_P (represent the receptor), and residue 5_at_O18 (represent
the drug). Then, I change the distance restraint from 1 to 40A. But at
the same time, I think I should keep the drug at the same orientation
relative to the receptor, I fixed the angle restraint at 0 degree for all
the umbrella sampling runs. Here is one of the restraint file I used.
# variable distance restrainst
&rst iat=4,5 r1=0.0, r2=20.0, r3=20.0, r4=100.0, rk2 = 100.0, rk3 = 100.,
iresid=1,
ATNAM(1)=P,
ATNAM(2)=O18/
# fixed angle restraint
&rst iat=4,5,5,5 r1=0.0, r2=0.0, r3=0.0, r4=360.0, rk2 = 1000.0, rk3 =
1000.0, iresid=1,
ATNAM(1)=P,
ATNAM(2)=N10,
ATNAM(3)=N12,
ATNAM(4)=O18/
Then, I run the production MD as follows:
$AMBERHOME/exe/sander -O -i 1_md1.in -o 1_md1.out -c 1_min.rst -p 1.prmtop
-r 1.md1.rst -x 1_md1.mdcrd -ref 1_min.rst
However, the 1.results that I got is as follows:
................
150 20.475 -107.033
160 21.152 25.018
170 21.537 -159.681
180 22.024 -15.385
190 25.157 48.197
200 26.163 -95.016
210 18.122 -8.224
220 16.849 -161.385
230 16.536 50.669
240 18.476 -65.738
250 21.368 19.429
260 20.551 149.414
270 18.940 -76.680
280 21.190 107.498
290 22.064 105.608
300 21.552 18.125
310 20.152 -35.505
320 23.703 -103.914
330 20.593 24.769
340 21.915 -13.790
350 26.825 119.012
360 20.678 25.467
370 24.278 70.666
380 19.640 -92.523
.................
I noticed the angle was changing in this umbrella sampling run. Should I
try to fix the relative orientation of the drug and receptor for a PMF
calculation? If yes, what should I do to fix the angle? Did I do anything
wrong here? Thanks!
Best regards,
Cat.
