Hello everybody, I want to start a replica exchange simulation (REMC). For this purpose , I took my normal MC hippo_input.txt file and changed MC simulation into REMC simulation. Following the instructions in the manual, I created a file with the name remc_temperature.dat, which consist of 4 lines, ...

A really great problem has occurred right now: Using the same tool that worked for more than 20 simulations, produces now errors with 20 others which are nearly the same an even MD or MC. The analysis tool writes out the following lines into the z-file: MCstep z tilt kink 0 nan 0.0000 0.0000 10000 n...

hello everybody, I was just wondering, if I got the right idea about the tilt angle, because the paper referenced [13] in the hippo-wikipedia, didn't helped me to understand the method for the tilt-calculation and what is the difference between tilt and kink. The "kink" method seems to be ...

Dear Hippos, after allot of simulation runs a very curious point in the helicity analysis came up. I proceeded the my first scans like documented in the hippo manual. My protein is about 40 aa, so I choose aa 2 for the start and aa 38 as the end point. After the analysis, I produced a graphic with g...

Is it possible to apply any patches on the terminal residues ?

Hello everyone, this is not really an direct question about the simulation setup, but it is connected to in this context. How do you create an simple primary structure of an protein ? Which tools do you use ? I have done some mutations for my protein (secondary structure) with the help of modeller a...

Thanks Martin, this explanation helped allot and made it much more clear to me. As you say, the high charge values of my protein could cause the exorbitant and very unrealistic energies and be very troublesome, I will check the whole system with deprotonated residues. This setups are already running...

Hello, after a successful MC run, I used the transrot function in Hippo and know some simple questions came up to understand and make it use correctly. How I used it : I created a new folder, copied the hippo executable, oplsa forcefield, movie.pdb and the used hippo_input.txt in it. Afterwards I ju...

Hello Martin, thx for your reply at first. In my case the protein is a highly charged one and if you say this is causing the trouble, I am ok with it. So I will run my simulations for a much longer time and I will try the replica exchange method. After this is done, I will tell you if and how it wor...

Hi everybody, I have a new question again pointing at the helicity. The helicity analysis creates allot of interesting files, as specially the helicity_res.dat. This file contains the helicity in percentage per AA. I assume that this numbers represent the mean value over the whole simulation. Is it ...
