I don't really work much with small organics or polymers (angle descriptions should be quite important there), so my review would be at the level of what the good old grumpy robot grompp already does. If you are sure of the parameters and your tests are coming out okay, given some criteria, I say why not share it..

Alex, Justin,

I've managed to make and run polymers using Avogadro ,modifying the n2t, then 
creating the top using  x2top under  54a7 ff.  The method may be useful for 
others but before presenting it to the user group,  it  should be reviewed so 
that  glaring mistakes/concepts are revised.   If you think it worthwhile, 
would either of you be agreeable to reviewing the process?

Thanks
Paul

Yeah, if it is missing bonded parameters, you can always try to find
something similar, at least with OPLS-AA -- don't really know about the
other ff.

Alex,

I wanted to practice some more with x2top using  a simple CH3 -( CH2)14 -Ch3  
pdb model.  oplsaa works fine, but not 54a7 FF generating the erro  “ cannot 
find forcefield for C “  Th two CH3’s do not cause the error found but the 
fourteen CH2’s.

In the ffbonded.itp bond angle types i see CH2-S-CH3  , C-CH2-C and  CH2-S_S, 
but  not C-CH2-C.  Can I add a new atomas ga 5_55   by anology or hunt for the 
correct parameters  ? (I’ m trying his now )
    I am assuming the n2t  nor the rtp do not have to be modified since x2top 
does not rely on the rtp.  This is a fairly basic but essential task, and would 
surly like to master it.

Thanks,
Paul

Never dealt with TiO2, but the path to parameterizing forcefields for
solid-state structures in MD is becoming more and more straightforward,
e.g., J. Phys. Chem. C 2017. 121(16): p. 9022-9031.

Alex,

There are so many important  reactions / applications in which protein
polymer interactions play a role that  the ability  to generate  of
polymers should be part of gromacs repertoire. I’ll keep plugging away on
this and report to the community if I can break the code  - other than
using the very good but terribly expensive commercial programs.   I would
not doubt that many have already accomplished this this task, but it is not
well tracked within this group.

I might not approach a Molysulfidnitride substrate , ( making turbine
blades ??)  but TiO2 is indeed another surface very popular with proteins.
Most every nitinol surface is essentially TiO2.  If you have some pointers
on that,  I’m listening.

Thank you again for the assist.

Regards
Paul
