Hello,

It doesn't contribute as such. I was using a different force field before OPLSAA and it was all atom so I could make the charges zero in the topology file, I wanted to do the same.

Being all-atom or not has nothing to do with whether it is possible to impose charges of size zero in the topology.

Hello,

I want to turn off electrostatic interactions between CH4 and SOL in my system. I am using ffG53a6 forcefield for CH4 and spc for my water model. CH4 is an united atom and so I can't make the charges zero in the topology. Is there any other way I can turn off electrostatic interactions?

Thanks.

Use an "energy group exclusion". See manual.


Is that even necessary?  Shouldn't a united-atom CH4 have a zero
charge, anyway?  If so, does it contribute in any way to the Coulombic
potential?
