Dear GMX users,
I am carrying out MD simulation of acetylacetone by Gromacs. As we know, there
are keto and enol two tautomers for acetylacetone. The tautomers were treated
as rigid species in the literature (Y.K. Park, C. H. Turner, J. Supercrit.
Fluids 37 (2006) 201–208)). The parameters of the LJ interactions and the
electrostatic interactions of keto and enol models for acetylacetone and their
equilibrium geometry were given. Dihedral angles are included in the models to
specify the keto geometry, while the enol form is calculated to be a planar
molecule.

But I could not know how to set up this rigid system in gromacs. If you could
give me some advice or some material, I will appreciate it. Thank you!
