Although the use of a heat bath will globally 16 ; remove this effect, it is advised to check consistency of 17 ; your results for somewhat smaller time steps in the range 20-30 fs. 18 ; Time steps exceeding 40 fs should not be used; time steps smaller 19 ; than 20 fs are also not required unless specifically stated in the itp file. 20 ; 时间步长最好不超过40fs 例如本文件中用的就是40fs 0.04ps=40fs 21 22 integrator = steep ; Run steepest descent energy minimization algorithm 23 dt = 0.04 24 nsteps = 50000 ; Number of steep steps to run 25 nstcomm = 100 26 comm-grps = 27 28 29 ; OUTPUT CONTROL OPTIONS = 30 ; Output frequency for coords (x), velocities (v) and forces (f) = 31 32 nstxout = 5000 33 nstvout = 5000 34 nstfout = 0 35 nstlog = 1000 ; Output frequency for energies to log file 36 nstenergy = 100 ; Output frequency for energies to energy file 37 nstxout-compressed = 1000 ; Output frequency for .xtc file 向xtc文件中输出的频率 38 compressed-x-precision = 100 39 xtc-grps = 40 energygrps = System 41 42 43 ; NEIGHBOURLIST and MARTINI 44 ; Due to the use of shifted potentials, the noise generated 由于使用了漂移势,粒子进入/离开近邻列表带来的影响不是特别大 45 ; from particles leaving/entering the neighbour list is not so large, 即使时间步长很长的时候 46 ; even when large time steps are being used.

However, to improve energy conservation 但是 为了提高能量的稳定性,避免局部的加热、冷却,有时候会增加更新频率 49 ; or to avoid local heating/cooling, you may increase the update frequency 或者扩大截断距离到1.4nm 50 ; and/or enlarge the neighbourlist cut-off (to 1.4 nm). The latter option 扩大到1.4nm是一个很好的选择,既可以较少计算又可以提高能量稳定性 51 ; is computationally less expensive and leads to improved energy conservation 52 53 nstlist = 10 54 ns_type = grid 55 pbc = xyz 56 rlist = 1.2 57 58 ; MARTINI and NONBONDED 59 ; Standard cut-off schemes are used for the non-bonded interactions 60 ; in the Martini model: LJ interactions are shifted to zero in the 61 ; range 0.9-1.2 nm, and electrostatic interactions in the range 0.0-1.2 nm. 62 ; The treatment of the non-bonded cut-offs is considered to be part of 63 ; the force field parameterization, so we recommend not to touch these 64 ; values as they will alter the overall balance of the force field. 65 ; In principle you can include long range electrostatics through the use 66 ; of PME, which could be more realistic in certain applications 67 ; Please realize that electrostatic interactions in the Martini model are 68 ; not considered to be very accurate to begin with, especially as the 69 ; screening in the system is set to be uniform across the system with 70 ; a screening constant of 15. When using PME, please make sure your 71 ; system properties are still reasonable. 72 ; 73 ; With the polarizable water model, the relative electrostatic screening 74 ; (epsilon_r) should have a value of 2.5, representative of a low-dielectric 75 ; apolar solvent. The polarizable water itself will perform the explicit screening 76 ; in aqueous environment. In this case, the use of PME is more realistic. 77 ; 78 ; For use in combination with the Verlet-pairlist algorithm implemented 79 ; in Gromacs 4.6 a straight cutoff in combination with the potential 80 ; modifiers can be used. Although this will change the potential shape, 81 ; preliminary results indicate that forcefield properties do not change a lot 82 ; when the LJ cutoff is reduced to 1.1 nm. Be sure to test the effects for 83 ; your particular system. The advantage is a gain of speed of 50-100%. 84 85 coulombtype = cut-off ;Reaction_field (for use with Verlet-pairlist) ;PME (especially with polarizable water) 86 rcoulomb_switch = 0.0 87 rcoulomb = 1.2 88 epsilon_r = 15 ; 2.5 (with polarizable water) 89 vdw_type = cut-off ;cutoff (for use with Verlet-pairlist) 90 rvdw_switch = 0.9 91 rvdw = 1.2 ;1.1 (for use with Verlet-pairlist) 92 93 ;cutoff-scheme = verlet 94 ;coulomb-modifier = Potential-shift-Verlet 95 ;vdw-modifier = Potential-shift-Verlet 96 ;epsilon_rf = 0 ; epsilon_rf = 0 really means epsilon_rf = infinity 97 ;verlet-buffer-tolerance = 0.005 98 99 100 ; MARTINI and CONSTRAINTS 101 ; for ring systems and stiff bonds constraints are defined102 ; which are best handled using Lincs. 103 104 constraints = none 105 constraint_algorithm = Lincs106 continuation = no107 lincs_order = 4108 lincs_warnangle = 30
