Dear All, Our colleges asked me to do some rather simple MD of the organic-silicone compounds (-Si-Si-Si- backbone with organic radicals), but it appeared to be not so simple because of the force field. Does anybody know about parameters for such systems, which are adapted for GROMACS? I've

Hi Semen, When confronted with Si-Si-Si and radicals in the same sentence, I don't get comforted and definitely wouldn't characterize it as 'rather simmple' ;) There seem to be quite a number of publications referring to MD of Si-Si systems though. Try googling a bit, or try Web of Science; gives

Hi, Everything depends on what you want to accomplish, which you do not write. I don't see why you would want to look at single atoms. Since you pull on COM's, only the COM coordinates are relevant. If you want to look at single atoms, simply store them in the xtc file. If you have only two
