Hi all,

If I want do MD simulation with amber ff and implicit solvent, would
including gbsa.itp in .top file and specifying parameters in .mdp as
follows be sufficient?

implicit_solvent = GBSA
gb_algorithm     = OBC
nstgbradii       = 1.0
rgbradii         = 1.0

In my experience, only infinite cutoffs (rvdw=rcoulomb=rlist=rgbradii=0) lead to stable simulations. In my hands, even commonly applied "long cutoffs" (2.0 - 4.0 nm) lead to structural deformations.

gb_epsilon_solvent = 78.3
gb_dielectric_offset = 0.009
sa_algorithm         = Ace-approximation
sa_surface_tension   = 0.0054


But I wonder if this line is problematic in gbsa.itp: ";Br
0.1      1      1        0.125     0.85 ; H". Is this for a bromine
atom or hydrogen?


It's commented out, so it's irrelevant. The line should probably be removed, though.
