Good afternoon,
The reason of this email is to ask:
is it possible to combine Martini's force field with the opls force
field?
The system is conformed by dopc membrane [Modeled by Martini's force
field] with a small molecule of about 50 atoms [Modeled with opls.
With all its hydrogens].
The answer is probably much more close to No than to Yes, but it is
not that simple. Let me give
you some very quick arguments:
-Yes: because nothing prevent you to actually try it and see what
happens. Nobody has
tried this CG/atomistic mix, yet. Well with Martini. The result is
however almost sure it
will give strange behavior.
-No: is where you can find much more arguments. First of all the two
force fields have not
been parametrized consistently. Second you'll probalby have problems
in defining the
interactions between the two approches. How the protein will interact
with the membrane
(and water). In Martini the interactions are effective ...
if the answer is 'yes', the next question is 'how?'.
Thanks for helping me and your time,
David Rincon.
