Hello,

Although gar2ped is an very old software, I found gar2ped still works prope= rly for Gaussian03/09.

I've tried compiling gar2ped by gfortran and ifort before but never suc= ceeded. If the operation system you used is not restricted to linux, I sugg= est you compiling gar2ped by Compaq visual fortran (the version I used is 6= .5), I found it is very easy and changing any code is not required. Just bu= ild a new project in CVF, drag pullarc.f to project and compile it to pulla= rc.exe, then clean up the project, drag all other files to project and comp= ile them to gar2ped.exe, Makefile is no use in the compilation. The generat= ed executable files work well.

It seems there is a file problem. WebMO seems to create the file that it works in at the time you hit submit; it assigns a directory/job name, and all reads and writes must come from there. You cannot read from other directories (perhaps a Fortran problem) and you cannot specify a directory in lieu of WebMO choosing one. If I am wrong, and there is a way, please let me know. Otherwise I guess people are generally building in GV or Avogadro or something, then just running jobs through command line? I might have to go this route. The thing I like about WebMO is that I can see the energy graph as the job is running so I know quickly if it is oscillating, or if it is generally dropping. What does everyone else do who is not using WebMO? Thanks!!

The transition states for these conformational changes usually have low frequencies (between 17 and 50) and for them, i could not get a quality IRC. They have no IRC maximum and only had 3 or at most 4 points, even though more points are specified in the input files. I used the Gaussian 09W package with the following route sections: # irc=(maxpoints=5,calcfc) ub3lyp/6-31g(d) # UB3LYP/6-31G(d) IRC=(CALCFC,MAXPOINTS=40,MAXCYCLE=20) SCF=DIRECT # irc=(maxpoints=10,calcfc,vtight,maxcycle=20,stepsize=1) ub3lyp/6-31+ g(d,p) int=ultrafine scf=direct It would be helpful if you guide me a little about how to calculate these IRC for conformational changes correctly. I'm starting on the topic of computer modeling of reactions and your contributions will be very valuables.

Avogadro is pretty good at building= molecules. I usually sketch out a
structure and then do a quick MM mini= mization to get a more reasonable

Hi,

First of all you should write NAMD configuration files that perform a singl= e task - this is much easier to understand and maintain. Typically you star= t from all-round files minimization.namd, equilibration.namd and dynamics.n= amd.

"Multiple purpose" parameter files ending with an "execution= script" phase are IMHO a really bad idea. In addition to visual inspe= ction e.g. with VMD, you should check after minimization that there is no r= ed light
> from the log file, and make sure after equilibration that the system is
actually equilibrated (stable energy, pressure, box size etc.). If you do n= ot do that systematically you might be wasting valuable computational time.=

Then, tuning up the parameters depends on what kind of system you have... U= sually, the better the quality of the starting model, the easier/shorter th= e minimization and equilibration. Check scientific publications to see what= others are doing (you will quickly notice there are some conventions).

Here are some sensible starting points - I do not mention parameters regard= ing trajectory recording, forcefield, electrostatics, PBC etc., this is jus= t to highlight the differences between minimization, equilibration and dyna= mics with NAMD. The number of steps correspond to typical values for simula= ting medium-sized proteins in explicit solvent. Check the NAMD manual for e= xplanations of the parameters, and description of many alternate methods.

I am using NAMD for the very first time, therefore encountering some
problems. You are rite. I was told by one of the NAMD users that the

=A0 =A0Hi,

=A0 =A0Look at the bottom of the parameter file. What you have been doing = is:
=A0 =A0- 100 minimization steps
=A0 =A0- assign velocities for 302 K all of a sudden
=A0 =A0- 2500 steps of MD

=A0 =A0algorithm tries to compensate for abnormal bond lengths occurring a= t
=A0 =A0the very first MD step, but of course it fails.

=A0 =A0You should do some equilibration after minimization... The comment<= br> =A0 =A0at the beginning of your parameter file is mistaking: it says
=A0 =A0"minimization and equilibration" and below I see the (rig= ht) comment
=A0 =A0"do langevin dynamics". Seems like this input file was me= ssed up by
=A0 =A0careless copy-paste operations.

=A0 =A0Regards

=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0Respected Sir,
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0When i run minimization, the program stopped abnormally. Wh= at is
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0wrong with my file?

Thank you Victor. I got your explanation but something still b= affles me.
If I run the MOPAC job without the THERMO key word I will get= some parameters: e.g. final heat of formation, total energy, electronic en= ergy etc.
But, with THERMO key word, most often I experience this kind = of warning/error:
** GRADIENT IS TOO LARGE TO ALLOW FORCE MATRIX TO BE C= ALCULATED, (LIMIT=3D10) **
 EITHER ADD 'LET' OR REDUCE GRADIENT
=  USING 'TS' OR OTHER GEOMETRY OPTIMIZER

It will however give a = value for the heat of formation again, this time around somehow different f= rom the former value. A typical case for 1,10-phenanthroline:
 FINA= L HEAT OF FORMATION =3D   81.10951 KCAL/MOL =3D 339.36220 KJ/MOL<= br>without using the THERMO keyword.

AND

HEAT OF FORMATION =3D      89.398345 KCALS/MOLE
when the THERMO = keyword was used.
So what do you suggest I do?

GNORM =3D 109.40376= ?
 
That is *huge*.  How did you get such a specific number, by the way?

A= nyway, you should be careful with the use of LET.  From the manual (http://www.openmopac.net/manual/index.html):
=0A

&nbs= p;   Now LET means essentially "I know what I'm doing, o= verride safety checks".

=0A

    Currently, LET= has the following meanings:

=0A
    1.In a FORCE calculation, it means that the supplied geometr= y is to be used, even if the gradients are large.
So you are givin= g MOPAC a geometry that is not converged, and telling it to do THERMO no ma= tter what.  You could try doing the optimization using PRECISE and the= n do the FORCE calc without LET and GNORM.
=0A
The manual is your fri= end!

Hope this helps and have a nice day

Thank you.
Here are typical results:After geometry optimization without any special keyword:
=0AFINAL HEAT= OF FORMATION =3D  40.08240 KCAL/MOL

With keyword "thermo", an= d LET GNORM =3D 109.40376

=0AHEAT OF FORMATION =3D   =    43.366029 KCALS/MOLE

Sometimes the difference may be up= to 10kcal/mol for some calculations.
Kindly give me an advice on it.thanks.

I would think that TIGHT option was set in Opt . For IRC calculation in this difficult case I would suggest to add IOP(1/7=100) or IOP(1/7=50) and modify your IRC to IRC(CalcAll,other_options). I hope it will help.

The transition states for these conformational changes usually have low frequencies (between 17 and 50) and for them, i could not get a quality IRC. They have no IRC maximum and only had 3 or at most 4 points, even though more points are specified in the input files. I used the Gaussian 09W package with the following route sections: # irc=(maxpoints=5,calcfc) ub3lyp/6-31g(d) # UB3LYP/6-31G(d) IRC=(CALCFC,MAXPOINTS=40,MAXCYCLE=20) SCF=DIRECT # irc=(maxpoints=10,calcfc,vtight,maxcycle=20,stepsize=1) ub3lyp/6-31+ g(d,p) int=ultrafine scf=direct It would be helpful if you guide me a little about how to calculate these IRC for conformational changes correctly. I'm starting on the topic of computer modeling of reactions and your contributions will be very valuables.

You will not go far if you are just being told what to do. You need to understand the concepts in depth, the "trial-and-error" approach is a dead-end if you only count on it. I just provided you with some examples, the context of those might not be optimal for the system you want to model: some other approaches supported by NAMD might be better suited. Regarding the ionization, it is not clear what you want to do. It certainly relates to modeling: it is not the purpose of NAMD, a molecular mechanics program you use on systems that are modeled already.

Dibble" Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2011 17:18:06 -0500 Sent to CCL by: "Theodore S. Dibble" [tsdibble++syr.edu] Dario, Why do you need IRCs for these reactions; aren't the nature of the transition states obvious form animation of the imaginary frequencies? The small imaginary frequencies you have are tricky. Did you optimize the transition state with int=ultrafine? I would suggest keeping int=ultrafine in the irc calculation but dropping the vtight option from the irc command, as that will probably make it harder to optimize points on the irc. I presume that when you switched basis sets for the irc you used a transition state structure optimized with the larger basis set. Good Luck! Theodore S.
