  Hi gromacs team,

I am trying to simulate a protein ligand complex using gromacs, where I have two manganese ions bound with the ligand. I searched the gromacs force field and there was no parameter data for Mn. After some research online I found the following Amber link that has Mn parameters. Some online constructions says ffamber ports can do the work, but there were no more detailed instructions. I don't have much experiences converting amber parameters to files that gromacs can recognize, so I want to see if anyone here can help me on this by giving me some more detailed instructions?


Please ask general usage questions on the gmx-users mailing list. I am CCing this message there and ask that any further questions be posted there. gmx-developers is for discussion of code and development.

This is just a unit/format conversion issue. The AMBER manual will (should) describe the format of its force field files, and the GROMACS manual describes its required format. Beyond syntax of the files, it's just a matter of converting kcal -> kJ and A -> nm, and maybe computing LJ parameters if the AMBER specification differs from that of GROMACS (sigma and epsilon).
