Hi,

I saw Fatemeh's and others' posts regarding gold and S FF parameters.
I have a few questions regarding this:

1. The vdW parameters for Au changed according to interaction atoms such
as C, H, N, S, etc.
However, I wonder, if the system includes both S and N, which interact
with Au, then which parameter should I use for Au, one for Au-N or one for
Au-S.


LJ parameters listed in [atomtypes] in ffnonbonded.itp are used in conjunction with the combination rules of the force field to determine these interactions. If interactions change depending upon the atoms involved, one can specify [nonbond_params] for each interaction pair that supersede the combination rules for those atom pairs. That way, the parameters for e.g. S can be different when interacting with different atoms.

I can't comment on points 2 and 3.

2. Can you send me papers you obtained the FF parameters for Au?


3. The charge of Au is zero?

Thanks in advance.

Hyunjin.
