Dear Users,

Let's suppose I have two molecules one composed of three beads and the second one composed of just one bead. mol1 : A B C & mol2 : D
what's is the number of energy groups in gromacs.  should it be like:  mol1 mol2  and energygrp_table: mol1 mol1 mol1 mol2 mol2 mol2 or A A A B A C A D B B B C B D C C C D

Thanks,
Alireza

Yes, that is correct!

Dear Christoph,

Thank you for your email. But I encountered problem with implementation of it. I want to use PME as my coulomb type. So I have to put my three bead molecule beads in different charge groups. But I face severe problem with electrostatic interaction between beads which blows up my system. I am seeking a way to equilibrate this system.
Thanks
Alireza

If you need to combine PME with tabulated interactions, you might need
to start from a different initial guess for the potentials, because
the Boltzmann inversion of the g(r) contains contributions from the
coulombic part, too.

I would use a couple of pure LJ interactions for a start (put them as
NAME.pot.in in the same directory as settings.xml).

In fact, I did the same thing but it worked only for first step then it started to give me LINCS errors. Due to non equilibrated sys.

Hi Alireza,

Have you excluded interactions between bonded beads? One of your CG molecule has 3 CG beads, so try excluding non-bonded interactions among them and see if that works for you. You can use gromacs [exclusions] setting in your topology to exclude the interactions.

Best,
Sikandar
