Hi Justin,

You're right. The parameters in ffG53a6 are different from dmso.itp file. I'll compare the results with the new simulations. By the way, do you know if ffG53a6 DMSO parameters are updated to those described in the paper you mention?


Not in any pre-built .itp file that I know of, but the .rtp entry for DMSO in ffG53a6.rtp appears to have the correct charges. I assume, if you check the atom types, that these are correct, as well.

Thanks

        Hi,
        I did the same and the simulations work properly! I think it's a
        matter of labels.


    Not entirely.  It is a matter of force fields, which sometimes have
    different atom nomenclature.  The dmso.itp file assumes one is using
    ffgmx.  If using Gromos96, the atom types, and perhaps even some of
    the parameters might have to be changed.  There is a paper published
    about a very good DMSO model using Gromos96; I would suggest
    checking the parameters therein to be sure you're actually using a
    valid model, and not some Frankenforcefield :)

           Hi,

           I presume that there is a bug in gromacs-4.0.5.

           When tried to run simulations with DMSO molecules there was
        an error
           report, which said:

           "Fatal error:
           Atomtype SD not found"

           I checked extensively for the problem, and found that there is a
           small error in the dmso.itp file present in
           $GROMACS_INSTALL_DIR/share/gromacs/top/

           Line 5 - 10 in dmso.itp file reads,

           [ atoms ]
           ;   nr    type   resnr  residu  atom    cgnr    charge
               1     SD     1      DMSO    SD      1        0.139
               2     CD     1      DMSO    CD1     1        0.16
               3     OD     1      DMSO    OD      1       -0.459
               4     CD     1      DMSO    CD2     1        0.16

           I needed to change that to -

           [ atoms ]
           ;   nr    type   resnr  residu  atom    cgnr    charge  mass
               1     SDmso  1      DMSO    SD      1        0.139  32.06000
               2     CDmso  1      DMSO    CD1     1        0.16   15.03500
               3     ODmso  1      DMSO    OD      1       -0.459  15.99940
               4     CDmso  1      DMSO    CD2     1        0.16   15.03500

           Please note that the name of the type needed to be changed.

           I am not sure if I was doing something wrong, or something was
           erroneous in GROMACS. However, the above changes makes it work.

           I just thought I would report this issue so that users know where
           the problem is. I would like to request the GROMACS team to take
           note of it and do the needful.

           Thanks,

           Saikat B.
