Hi,
The force field which I am using is CHARMM36.
I added some new atom types to the atomtypes.atp . Then I need to change the
nonbonded.itp file. Are the atom names are used in .itp files? So how I find a
last-defined atom types in the .itp file?
An "atom name" and an "atom type" are distinct concepts. The atoms that are
named in the topology must have atom types that are defined in ffnonbonded.itp.
Names are convenient labels and are irrelevant except for our own
understanding of the content of our files; types define the nature of the
interactions the atom experiences. Parameters are assigned in the topology
based on atom type.
I just renamed some atomtypes and then added as the new atomtypes to .itp file,
so I want to find a purposed atomtype and use its vdw parameter ( the same as
what existed in .itp file.)
I'm not clear on the intent here. You're creating duplicate atom types? To
what end?
