In my previous message I used "all-atom" in stead of "united-atom" twice: in the part about the SDS topology and again between the parentheses in my third question. That's probably very confusing, so I made the corrections in my quoted message below.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi everybody,

I want to do a refinement of an NMR structure, using NOE restraints. I
want to do this in SDS, using an SDS topology file[1] that was designed
for gromacs, but there are no explicit hydrogen atoms. I think it's not
a good idea to simulate a peptide with explicit hydrogens in combination
with an *united*-atom SDS topology (correct me if I'm wrong). If I
understood
correctly from a previous (different) question[2], virtual interaction
sites can be used instead of hydrogen atoms to define NOE restraints.

There's no a priori reason why a mixture of a united-atom detergent sodium dodecyl sulfate and an all-atom peptide *couldn't* work. Neither is there any reason to suppose they *would* work without evidence that the SDS parameters were developed with this purpose in mind and suitably validated. For that, you'll have to read the paper referred to on the page you footnoted [1], I guess. Your other alternative is looking for an all-atom SDS topology that has been validated, but I've no idea whether one exists.

Regarding your footnote [2], you've provided a link to the mailing list search page on the GROMACS webpage, which contains multiple frames. The link you actually need to provide is the one to the frame that had the email to which you wish to refer. You can get that by right-clicking on that frame when it contains the content you wish.

Unfortunately I don't have the experience to comment on the rest of your issues.

Mark
