Hi everyone,
I have a doubt regarding the high negative average pressure values in MD. The prepared system was minimized (NVT ensemble) with 10ns using DESMOND software. While doing Simulation Quality Analysis, I found high negative average pressures after minimization. Further, when I performed MD (NPT ensemble) with 200ns, I observed the average pressure was around 4 bars. Is it okay to get high negative average pressure? What does the change from highly negative to positive values tell about the system? I appreciate it if you provide me with an answer. I thank you in advance. With regards,
Relevant answer
Answer
The pressure inside solids can be a very high negative value meaning you are expanding your system. But when you relax the system with NPT you do not get desired pressure but something fluctuating around meaning expand/ shrink. If you have perfect potential (smooth one with a good tail) you can continue NVT or even NVE and pressure remains constant with much less fluctuations. But if your potential needs some conditions for P to remain constant (like a large cutoff high k-space accuracy and so on), I suggest continuing with NPT because it is less expensive than those conditions. If this is the case, it is worth trying a large damping (some thousands of timesteps) which means you are barostat less frequently. Larger damping is less expensive but it may or may not reduce pressure fluctuations.

Question

Overfitting is a type of modeling error that results in the failure to predict future observations effectively or fit additional data in the existing model. It occurs when a function is too closely fit a limited set of data points and usually ends with more parameters than the data can accommodate. It is common for huge data sets to have some anomalies, so when this data is used for any kind of modeling, it can result in inaccuracies in the analysis.
Overfitting can be prevented by following a few methods namely-
  • Cross-validation: Where the initial training data is split into several mini-test sets and each mini-data set is used to tune the model.
  • Remove features: Remove irrelevant features manually from the algorithms and use feature selection heuristics to identify the important features
  • Regularisation: This involves various ways of making your model simpler so that there’s little room for error due to obscurity. Adding penalty parameters and pruning your decision tree are ways of doing that.
  • Ensembling: These are machine learning techniques for combining multiple separate predictions. The most popular methods of ensembling are bagging and boosting.
Relevant answer
Answer
Overfitting makes the model relevant to its data set only, and irrelevant to any other data sets. Some of the methods used to prevent overfitting include ensembling, data augmentation, data simplification, and cross-validation.

i have a large nanoparticle (diameter of 16 nm) and I want to study its entrance through a lipid bilayer. i am running in NPT ensemble using GROMACS. However, for pressure coupling there are isotropic and semiisotropic options. The mdp documentation says that for semiisotropic coupling, the z is decoupled from the and y directions and is useful when simulating membranes. however, I tried both options.
the one with semiisotropic coupling, a huge change in the box dimensions in all directions occurred and this was because the nanoparticle penetrated the upper leaflet so the lipids moved away in both x and y directions increasing these dimensions which resulted in a decrease in the z direction.
the one with the isotropic coupling did not have a huge differences in the box dimensions.
attached are the images of both trials
Relevant answer
Answer
I think the semiisotropic would be the best choice in the case of the membrane, as mentioned in the documentation. If the box size didn't change with the entrance of the nanoparticle, the membrane pressure will be increased.

I am running a cooling simulation of stainless steel alloy using EAM potential. The initial configuration at 5000[K] was well equilibrated with a density plateau at around 7.9g/cc simulated in the NPT ensemble followed by additional NVT ensemble simulation to achieve a well-equilibrated structure. However, during cooling, I notice that the density of the system continue to decrease, indicating box expansion while the temperature was decreasing! I am using an NPT ensemble for the simulation and pressure is kept at iso 0 0 (gauge value). I do not understand why the box keeps enlarging while kinetic energy is being withdrawn from the system (as the temperature is being reduced).
Relevant answer
Answer
There are several Possible reasons. However I cannot be certain from the given information. Here are some possible reasons:
1. The NPT imposes a pressure condition, check what was the pressure before cooling and how it changes during. Maybe the box expanding to reach the desired 0 pressure.
2. Check the potential energy for possible phase transitions. 5000 K is super high, I doubt that an EAM potential will support that high temperature accurately.

We know that aqueous electrolyte solutions have a lower heat capacity compared to pure water. For example, the heat capacity of a saturated CaCl2 solution at 20℃ (74.5 g/100 g H2O) has a specific heat capacity (Cp) of ~2.4 kJ/kg∙K, much lower than that of water (4.18 kJ/kg∙K).
My question is, how can we explain this phenomenon on a molecular or even quantum perspective?
I understand that, at such a high concentration, there are very few "free" water molecules. The majority of them are "trapped" in the hydration shells of the Ca2+ and Cl- ions. These water molecules from dative covalent bonds with the ions, thus unable to have free translational or rotational movement (i.e. their degrees of freedom are decreased). The water-ion ensemble must now move together.
But how does that explain the lower heat capacity?
Relevant answer
Answer
it is, mainly, due to the
"H-bond(s)",
in ('pure & liquid') water.
The lower heat capacity in aqueous electrolyte solutions is due to the lower percentage of the Hydrogen bonding (due to the lower[1] percentage of the remaining 'pure & liquid' water).
1. It is a lower percentage because some quantity of (smaller "H-bonding" number/ing) this water, e.g. the rest percentage, is, actually, frozen/trapped near/by the (hydrated-)ions of the electrolyte.

Hi,
I wonder if anyone knows how to create ensembles using the pdb-tools (https://wenmr.science.uu.nl/pdbtools/reference)? The protein-protein docking have been completed by InterEvDock2 where I set different constraints and did several docking runs. Because the InterEvDock2 only performs rigid docking, I would like to normalize the score of different runs using pdb-tools. For each docking run, I need to create an ensemble with a few best docking poses. However, I don't know how to implement it in pdb-tools (what specific pipeline needs to be loaded).

Ensemble docking allow to dock a single ligand or a ligand library against multiple conformations of a single receptor.
Now, imagine we have a group of proteins which are functionally conserved and share similar ligand/s. Moreover, they are highly similar in the structures (Identity rate in AA level is more than 90%) and almost a perfect superimposition of 3D structure can be made by different tools.
Docking analysis was performed for each protein solely and as expected the binding pocket and residues are similar.
Now here is the question: Can we perform Ensembled docking for this situation?
Relevant answer
Answer
Usually "ensemble" means "configurational ensemble," i.e., a collection of structures of a single system, with the structures differing only in atomic coordinates. But technically, yes, one can make an ensemble of different systems and dock into them -- if the structures (and pharmacophore features) align well . . .

Hello All, I am just a beginner on the CRISPR world. I need to extract a gene locus sequence from zebrafish. do you have a step-by-step guide to ensembl or any other software for me to do this?
Relevant answer
Answer
CRISPR is a technology that can be used to edit genes and, as such, will likely change the world. The essence of CRISPR is simple: it's a way of finding a specific bit of DNA inside a cell. After that, the next step in CRISPR gene editing is usually to alter that piece of DNA.Imagine a future where parents can create bespoke babies, selecting the height and eye color of their unborn children. In fact, imagine that all traits of life forms can be customized to one’s preferences: domestic pet size, plant longevity, and more.
The zebrafish has emerged as a leading model organism for the study of vertebrate biology, because of the remarkable cellular resolution with which the embryo can be studied, the ease of assaying its development and physiology in the laboratory, and its amenability to genetic analysesThe zebrafish is a powerful experimental system for uncovering gene function in vertebrate organisms. Nevertheless, studies in the zebrafish have been limited by the approaches available for eliminating gene function. Here we present simple and efficient methods for inducing, detecting, and recovering mutations at virtually any locus in the zebrafish. Briefly, double-strand DNA breaks are induced at a locus of interest by synthetic nucleases, called TALENs. Subsequent host repair of the DNA lesions leads to the generation of insertion and deletion mutations at the targeted locus.

Tl;dr: I’m trying to convert gene IDs of an obscure MRSA strain from Ensembl Bacteria to KEGG.
Hello,
I’m trying to do a pathway enrichment analysis of MRSA strain 107 using GSEA. I have gene expression data that are associated with the gene IDs from Ensembl Bacteria. I plan to use KEGG as my pathway database.
GSEA requires a .gmt file of the gene IDs/enrichment data (of which the gene IDs are from Ensembl), then requires a pathway file (from KEGG). If I try to do the analysis with both of these files, the gene IDs don’t match up, so GSEA can’t do it.
My question is whether there’s a way to convert these gene IDs specifically with these strains of MRSA from Ensembl Bacteria to a site like KEGG. Here are the resources I’ve already tried:
DAVID
Dbtodb
Syngoportal
G:convert
MetaScape
BioMart from Ensembl
Annotationdbi
All these are tools that work, but they don’t include my strain. How should I convert these Ensembl Bacteria gene IDs? Is there another option I don’t know about?
PS. I don’t need to use KEGG; if a different pathway database works, that would also be acceptable.
Relevant answer
Answer
If you're having an issue finding an exact ID match, you can try this method.
You collect all protein sequences of the strain and use BlastKOALA/GhostKOALA (tool available in the KEGG) to perform Blast. It will provide you with the KEGG's KO IDs. These IDs can also be used for pathway analysis.

I would like to know why the system is equilibrated at 10 K with NVT and followed with 300 K with the NPT method while performing MD simulations. Please, provide available references.
Relevant answer
Answer
As you are now aware, there is quite a bit of "craft" in the practice of molecular dynamics simulations. If simulations could be run for seconds or even milliseconds, there would be no need for much of this craftmanship. As we are constrained to nanoseconds, or at most microseconds, one makes a concerted effort to gently push away from ground truth--the crystal structure---and into the deeper waters of everything floating freely in an NPT simulation. This is solely to avoid running long segments of your simulations in unphysical or unproductive conformations.
This strategy uses initial minimizations to clear bad contacts between solvating waters introduced into the model and hold ions in place because the force fields do not really represent ion coordination. (Van der Waals and electrostatic forces are spherically symmetric. Octahedral coordination is a geometrical accident in the force field, not an intrinsic property of ionic bonding.) Initial dynamics runs are typically NVT with backbone atoms constrained or fixed to allow side chains to begin softly swaying in the breeze. Subsequently, constraints are released and further NPT simulations are run for 1 fs time steps before production runs at 2 ps commence for the duration.
Some simulations also utilize high and low temperatures as another means of control. Low temperatures effectively constrain the atoms in the crystal structure without having to provide constraint information. High temperatures achieve something approaching longer time steps without resorting to higher-order integrations to maintain fidelity. I rarely found fiddling with the temperature to be of much use and, instead, fiddled with constraints. It is a matter of personal taste to a large degree.
You can examine results reported by other groups in similar molecular systems to see what their practices are. You can also look at tutorials for the codes that you are using. Most developers have something like a "best practices" page that explains some of the curious choices for the various parameters involved in the simulations.

Hi everyone,
I am currently developing a Gibbs Ensemble Monte Carlo algorithm. I am trying to implement a Widom Insertion Method to calculate the chemical potential of the liquid-phase and gas-phase boxes; however, I haven't been able to successfully do it. My inter-particle potential is that of a hard sphere (i.e. equal to infinity when particles overlap). I suspect the issue with my implementation has to do with how I've been treating the instances where the inserted particles overlap with any of the particles already present in the box I'm trying to determine the chemical potential of. I've been guiding myself by the work of Frenkel & Smit; more specifically, the article attached. Can anyone with experience in this topic help me figure this out?
Thank you beforehand for any assistance anyone may provide!
Relevant answer
Answer
Widom's insertion method works for hard spheres, too. The Boltzmann factor exp(-beta Delta U) is 1 for a successful insertion and 0 for a failure. The problem is, however, that a rather large number of insertion attempts is required to obtain a meaningful ensemble average for the liquid phase.
For hard spheres it might be better to determine the chemical potential by thermodynamic integration or –if an insertion method must be used – by a multi-step insertion (i.e., insertion of a point particle followed by a gradually increase of its size).

We need to prepare a weighted average multi-model ensemble of projected future daily precipitation by assigning weights to individual CMIP6 models based on past performance. For this purpose, We want to use Bayesian Model Averaging. Since the distribution of precipitation is highly skewed with large number of zeros in it, a mixed (discrete-gamma) distribution is preferred as the conditional PDF as per Sloughter et al., (2007).
Considering 'y' as the reference (observed ) data and 'fk' as the modelled data of kth model,
The conditional PDF consists of two parts. The first part estimates P(y=0|fk) using a logistic regression model. The second part consists the following the term P(y>0|fk)*g(y|fk).
Since the computation of P(y>0|fk) is not mentioned in the referred manuscript, If I can compute P(y=0|fk), Can I compute P(y>0|fk) as 1-P(y=0|fk) in this case?
If not, Can someone help in computing P(y>0|fk)?

Dear researchers
Objective:
We've applied machine learning methods such as artificial neural networks, random forest, and support vector machines to predict stroke patient's recovery.
Materials and methods:
We have stroke patients' clinical data from EMRs(electronic medical records) and their kinematic data obtained by the exoskeleton robot's sensor system(from gait training).
The clinical data are ordinal and categorical, and the kinematic data are time-series data.
Clinical data and kinematic data have been integrated into tabular data by applying moving windows to time-series data (obtained mean, std, median, max, and min).
Limitations:
In our experience, it was not easy to use all the data for training at once because the types and characteristics of clinical data and kinematic data were different.
Thus, we are applying the ensembling method to various neural network models.
(We've tried conventional bagging or stacking algorithms to the outputs of the neural networks.)
Question:
At this point, we would like to know some reasonable, preferred, recommended methods for ensembling the neural network models with different data learned separately. (i.e., how to combine a neural network model trained by clinical data and another model trained by kinematic data)

I have a VASP MD simulation of a 2x2x1 supercell of Al2O3 totaling 120 atoms. The supercell was initially relaxed and then run for 1500 time steps (0.1 fs time step, 1e-7 EDIFF) in the NVE ensemble (MDALGO=1, ANDERSEN_PROB=0). Velocities were initialized to 500 K (TEBEG=500). As a sanity check, I ran the same MD simulation with TEBEG=0 and the energy does remain constant. I'm struggling to understand why there is an initial jump in the energy. My intuition is that the energy should be more or less constant as in classical MD. Is there a reason for this?
Relevant answer
Answer
Hi Giacomo, yes I also ran NVE with MDALGO=0 and SMASS=-3. The results were essentially identical. I have a continued simulation running now. It remain consistent to 3000 steps so far. I'll try a longer time step and lower temp as you suggest.

I have identified 12 transcript variants of my gene of interest from ensembl and I want to find the expression of these transcripts in body tissues using GTEx. I think to do this however, I need to have the rs number for the transcript variants. I was wondering if anyone can suggest the best way to go about finding this information out as I am struggling?
Relevant answer
Answer
I would also say that you are confusing concepts, in GTEx you will find eQTLs or sQTLs in which the presence of an SNP (rs) is correlated with the expression of a gene (eQTL) or with the expression of the isoforms of a gene (sQTLs). Therefore, if you have the Ensembl ID of the transcripts of a gene and you want to compare it with the GTEx database, you will possibly get the SNP that is correlated with it. I don't know if I made myself clear.

The main result of decoherence theory is that the non-diagonal elements of a quantum object's density matrix become zero due to uncontrolled interactions with the environment. For me, that only means that there will we no more interference effects between the superposed states. But there still remain the diagonal elements of the density matrix. So there is still a superposition of classical alternatives left. How does that solve the measurement problem ?
Moreover, doesn't the mathematical derivation of the decoherence effect involve an ensemble average over all possible environmental disturbances ? How does this help when we are interested in the behavior of a specific system in a specific environment ?

I'm working on the impact of climate change on water resources. how to choose the best ensemble from RCM projected rainfall? what method I should use to compare different RCM and choose the best out of that?
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Razi,
that is a good question which puzzled me a lot during the last few years.
There are various approaches on that and it always depends on your expectations ...
1. As decision maker you may want to use various future projections, covering e.g. wet a future, a dry future, or a hot or cold future. There are some papers from Alex Ruane on this ... I have applied it also in my latest publication "To bias correct or not to bias correct ..."
2. You may also want to determine the "best" performing RCM based on an validation of the historical "baseline" simulations. Then you compare the historical simulations with the statistics of observations or re-analysis data.
The question here is if this gives you enough credibility that the future projections are also the most reliable ones? The underlying scenarios to drive the RCMs are extremely uncertain, which means that even you trust a certain RCM more than another one, this does not urgently lead to more reliable simulations for the future period.
I would therefore prefer the first procedure of considering RCMs which cover different states (cold/wet, hot/wet, cold dry, cold wet, normal) to generate an ensemble, but if you think you can identify the best performing (or if you are only interested in simulations for the past), there is a subsetting algorithm from the group of Samaniego (main author is Stefan Thober).

Hello everybody
I ran 50 ns MD simulation in NPT ensemble, using Desmond, on tyrosinase a metallo-enzyme containing Cu 2+. I am doing this to evaluate the stability of the complex obtained from molecular docking of the protein with an active ligand. Before running the production stage, I used the default relaxation protocol provided by Desmond. The system was parametrized by employing the OPLS3e force field.
Cu 2+ chelation by the catalytic histidines remains stable during the entire simulation. However, the ligand, which do not chelate the ions, already at the first frame of the simulation, tend to leave the active site. So, I would like to figure out what could be the reason. Furthermore, I would like to have some suggestion about some specific relaxation protocols different from default one, to deal with the problem just mentioned.

i would run several equilibration MD simulations, starting with different initial velocities, at very low temperature (5K), with tight temperature control, and with very short time step (0.01 fs), and gradually bringing the system to the state at which the data will be collected for analysis.

Hi Mohamed,
I had the same question, and I addressed it like this:
I looked for the target gene/transcript in NCBI, found the fasta sequence. This is in most cases the CDS of the gene. Then I doublechecked whether this gene HAS an additional 5'/3' UTR in the transcript. ENSEMBL has also a bacterial platform, which is great. For my target gene, the same sequence was found without additional UTRs. So I assume it just hasn't any (Which might be true for many genes, as it's polycistronic RNA).
But, if you have found a better solution, I'm very happy if you could share it.

I try one of the webserver for docking, but unfortunately not working. it says " Your PDB contains multiple forms of the same residue VAL 134. This is not supported in the current form. If you would like to supply multiple conformations, please create an ensemble". Then, when I checked manually, I found many atom that had different version (attached in file). Anyone has suggestion to fix the problem? Thanks!
Relevant answer
Answer
These are "alternative locations", meaning that in high resolution structure, you may observe different conformations in the electron density. Depending on the programs you are using, you either need to set some parameter to tell the program to ignore all but the most highly occupied conformation, or you need to pre-process the PDB files to remove the secondary locations. Many structure visualisation programs contain options to select, and by extension, selectively delete alternative locations - check the manual for the program you are using
In VMD, you can use the PDB plugin to do so. https://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/plugins/molfile/pdbplugin.html
In Rosetta, a simple python script can be used to clean up a pdb file:
tools/protein_tools/scripts/clean_pdb.py   - Prepare PDBs for Rosetta by cleaning and renumbering residues.
in PyMOL, you can use the removal.py script: https://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Removealt or by simply specifying

Dear Debopam Ghosh, interesting question.
I would suggest two approaches, following my own humble experience as a student and as a teacher.
If one wants to teach Quantum Mechanics for Quantum Computing and related fields, a more linear algebra (math) approach can be used.
If one wants to teach Quantum Physics to engineer, physics and chemistry students, a modern physics approach is needed, since students need to understand all experiments before going into the math.
It is just an opinion.

There are many papers you may consult where Desmond is used for P-L simulations.
Starting with scratch you may initially do it for

I am trying to calculate some hydrodynamic properties from MD results. Part of the process in to calculate the transvers current correlation function which is formulated as C(q,t)=⟨J∗(0)J(t)⟩
. The issue is that this formula is regarded as canonical ensemble average in literature which should be calculated based on parameter $\Beta$. However my intuition is that this should be a form of autocorrelation or cross correlation of a rolling window. This is confusing to me and I would like to ask if anyone can provide me a pseudo code example for this calculation.
Relevant answer
Answer
I think your intuition is correct.
First of all, in equilibrium the ensembles should be equivalent so whether you have a canonical ensemble (fixed temperature) or a microcanonical ensemble (fixed energy, easier in MD) should not matter to zeroth order (apart from subtle finite size effects that you may worry about much later).
Then the average is, as you say, just an average over snapshots of the simulation. You need to be careful about the 'rolling window' because ideally you do not want to average over correlated snapshots so you should wait between snapshots until correlations have decayed. Which is a bit of a chicken and egg problem as you want to measure the correlations exactly to figure out how long they persist. So this probably needs some iterations to figure out good parameters. Or, alternatively, you do not reuse simulations at all and start from fresh, random initial conditions for every t=0.

I dig myself into CNN explainability in the past months. Most of the projects are suitable only one purpose or damn slow per image.

And these methods can be run on a larger scale on many images in a reasonable amount of time:
Other notes:
- SHAP APIs are not straightforward to use and that method is damn slow. Not very useful to do quick iterations of your work.
- Backprop-based techniques got criticism for being not really working.
- LIME got similar criticism.
- For saliency maps, I did not find them useful at all.
Any other methods are very much WIP, no public software or you have to implement yourself. I found the above mentioned CAM-based methods, easy to integrate, more or less working and they are relative quick per image.

I know that the inference pattern of double slit experiment is actually a result of the ensemble of particles hit the screen.
My problem is this.
If we close one slit at a time at a certain frequency, then the interference pattern is not 'wave-like'.
Then we close and open both slits at the same time with the same frequency as above. This time we will get a 'wave-like' interference.
We will consider large number of ensembles however I do not think we can obtain this difference by considering probabilities for statistical ensemble without thinking a probability of a quantum particle goes through a slit has a miraculous effect from the status of the distant slit.
Is there any way to solve this problem by statistical interpretation?

When I calculate first derivative of M versus H curve measured for an ensemble of FM nanoparticles (below they blocking temperature) I obtain a very clear maximum, very close to the so called coercive field, that is when the magnetization changes sign, of course at negative fields.
Q1. Is the maximum of the derivative the good measure of the coercive field, meaning to what extent it is a coincidence?
Q2. The FWHM of this dM/dH peak depends on temperature in which I measured M(H). To what extent the shape of the dM/dH is a measure of the switching field distribution in the ensemble.
Relevant answer
Answer
This is precisely the differential magnetic susceptibilty: dM/dH. It depends on the frequency of the magnetic field and on temperature.
Of course, it is related to the coercivity: just think in the energy landscape where the anisotropy is the barrier that prevents the magnetization switching of each nanoparticle.
The full width at half maximum (FWHM) is related to the monodisperse character of your ensemble of nanoparticles (shape, purity of phases, etc). For instance, if you are planning to use the nanoparticles in Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI), the FWHM is an indication of the potential spatial resolution in MPI experiments: the narrower the better.
