IC A B C D [bond(AB)] [angle(ABC)] [dihedral(ABCD)] [angle(BCD)] [bond(CD)]
IC A B *C D [bond(AC)] [angle(BCA)] [improper(ABCD)] [angle(BCD)] [bond(CD)].
The * next to the C atom indicates that it is at the center of an improper angle definition. No * indicates that the 4 atoms do not have an improper topology.
Specifying IC’s is not necessary if you already have all the atoms in your PDB file. The entries are simply there
to have a way to create missing atoms from the positions of present ones.

平衡態(tài)模擬
常見的模擬思路是，先在NVT下約束住你的溶質(zhì)（劑）做限制性模擬，這是一個(gè)升溫的過程，當(dāng)溫度達(dá)到你的設(shè)定后, 接著做NPT模擬，此過程將調(diào)整體系的壓強(qiáng)進(jìn)而使體系密度收斂。
經(jīng)過一段時(shí)間的平衡模擬，在確定系統(tǒng)弛豫已經(jīng)完全消除之后，就可以開始取數(shù)據(jù)了。如何判斷體系達(dá)到平衡，簡(jiǎn)單的講可以通過以 下幾種方式，一，看能量（勢(shì)能，動(dòng)能和總能）是否收斂；二，看系統(tǒng)的壓強(qiáng)，密度等等是否收斂；三看系統(tǒng)的RMSD是否達(dá)到你能接受的范圍，等等。

namd開始NPT計(jì)算過程報(bào)錯(cuò)Periodic cell has become too small for original patch grid解決方法

I have a different approach to fixing this problem. I believe that the underlying cause of this error is that the system is resizing too quickly (due to the system pressure being far from the specified pressure). To slow the resizing down I increase langevinPistonPeriod to 1000 and langevinPistonDecay to 500 for a short time when I start the NPT simulation, and then switch to the normal values of 100 and 50.

For example, in your case I would do one input file for 100 ps with a constraintscaling of 10, langevinPistonPeriod of 1000, and a langevinPistonDecay of 500. Then I would load the restart files into a new simulation and proceed as you were above. Also, by restarting the simulation you are forcing NAMD to re-assign the patches, which will help prevent this error.

FATAL ERROR: Periodic cell has become too small for original patch grid!
問題出現(xiàn)在nvt計(jì)算完成后第一次進(jìn)行npt的時(shí)候.通過在namd的郵件列表尋找，最后發(fā)現(xiàn)是周期性盒子設(shè)置的時(shí)候四舍五入數(shù)值，造成盒子在npt計(jì)算 過程中溶劑環(huán)境密度過小（盒子體積過大，而分子總數(shù)一定，最終水溶液密度過低）。解決方法，周期盒子大小不能直接四舍五入，要考慮到盒子體積與分子總數(shù)得 到溶液的密度是否恰當(dāng)好處。改用該方法后，順利計(jì)算，為提示錯(cuò)誤。

該內(nèi)容原創(chuàng)

計(jì)算namd體系密度
首先計(jì)算體系的質(zhì)量，然后根據(jù)namd輸出的體積，兩者相除即可。過程如下：
例如：
C     11
H     1596
O     790
N     2
上面表示的是每種原子的個(gè)數(shù)
則mass=（11*12+1596*1+790*16+2*14）/NA 單位為克。
NA為阿伏伽德羅常數(shù)：6.02214129(27)×10²³
那么密度為mass/V

VMD計(jì)算SASA(solvent-accessible surface area )
控制臺(tái)下用命令即可得出：
set all [atomselect top "all"]
set some [atomselect top "resid 1 to 5"]
measure sasa 1.4 $all -restrict $some -points sasapoints
foreach pt $sasapoints {
  draw point $pt
}
以上可以在窗口中顯示出1-5號(hào)氨基酸的溶劑可及表面，以point繪出。當(dāng)然如果不需要瀏覽僅僅計(jì)算的話，只需要：
set all [atomselect top "all"]
set some [atomselect top "resid 1 to 5"]
measure sasa 1.4 $all -restrict $some
如果想看一下準(zhǔn)不準(zhǔn)可以算一下除了1-5號(hào)氨基酸的是多少
set someothers [atomselect top "not(resid 1 to 5)"]
measure sasa 1.4 $all -restrict $someothers
將兩個(gè)值相加，看是否是
measure sasa 1.4 $all
得到的結(jié)果。
