    Hi everybody!


Dihedrals seem be incorrect. Check it. (I don't know what have to be, is it planar molecule or not, it have be known, but it seems to be incorrect, as you say molecule distorted) Additionally, you should use improper dihedrals for making planar parts.


Indeed, the dihedrals don't make much sense. Based on ASPH, you should define a HO-OH-C-O dihedral for each carboxylic acid group, and I would think you would also need to define an O-C-C-O torsion. All of this information is in the ffoplsaabon.itp and ffoplsaa.rtp files. You should definitely define impropers to keep the carboxylic acid groups planar. Using the ASPH entry in ffoplsaa.rtp is a good start. If hydrogens are collapsing into neighboring acid groups, your [pairs] directive is probably incorrect.

P.S.

1) I think, this acid is charged in neutral pH. OOC-COO (2-), not HOOC-COOH

True, but this is (as described) a vacuum simulation, so we're not dealing with solution pH.

2) Why not to use topology of charged ASP residue side chaas starting point?
