Hi,
I have a crystal structure with several SO4 ions.
According to the online manual, the source is ffgmx.rtp. But I could not find it in /gromacs/share/top directory. I also could not find it in several force field files.


You haven't said which Gromacs version you're using, but if it's in the 4.5.x series, there has been a complete overhaul of force field organization. So there are no more "ff*.rtp" files; they're all in *.ff subdirectories and called "aminoacids.rtp" (with a few force fields having lipids.rtp, rna.rtp, and dna.rtp). For instance:

$ grep -R SO4 */*.rtp
gmx.ff/aminoacids.rtp:[ SO4 ]
gromos43a1.ff/aminoacids.rtp:[ SO42- ]
gromos43a2.ff/aminoacids.rtp:[ SO42- ]
gromos45a3.ff/aminoacids.rtp:[ SO42- ]
gromos53a5.ff/aminoacids.rtp:[ SO42- ]
gromos53a6.ff/aminoacids.rtp:[ SO42- ]

Just curious how people have treated this ion in their simulations.


You're better off not using ffgmx. The manual describes the reasons for this very clearly. A newer Gromos96 variant might be more suitable, or other (potentially better) parameters that might exist in the literature.

Thanks for your help.
