Dear gmx users
I have attemped to simulate a box of ethanol in normal conditions of temperature and pressure.
I reproduced very well some literature data (as g(r)) however I had problems to reproduce the angular
distribution function for the dihedral (C-C-O-H).
This angle must have a peak in 180 degrees and two lesser (and symmetrical) peaks in 60 and 300 degrees (as shows the figure 1 of this link http://cbio.mskcc.org/~leonor/jpcb97.pdf ).
However my distribution presents a maximum in 100 degrees with two (but not symmetrical) peaks the left.
I already made almost everything:
I used both, dihedral GROMACS and Ryckaert-Bellemans, I applied almost all the avaliables parameters
(eg in ffoplsaabon.itp), I set nrexcl 2, 3, 4, 5, I remade the simulation several times in with differents conditions, but always I found the same pattern.
Somebody already had some experience like that? If it had, could you give me a insight? Bellow I give my top file.
Thank you in advance.
