[gmx-users] Carbohydrate force fields in GROMACS

2015-03-20 Thread mish
Dear all, I am very new to Gramacs (switching from AMBER in order to use GROMOS and CHARMM force fields for carbohydrates) and need some help in preparing topologies. I had a brief look in the tutorials and gromacs force field files but I could not find any useful information about using GROMOS

Many thanks :). It should be enough to start. Best, Mish On Fri, Mar 20, 2015 at 6:32 PM, Thomas Piggot t.pig...@soton.ac.uk wrote: Hi, You can download the parameters from: http://dqfnet.ufpe.br/biomat/Software_files/GROMOS-53A6glyc.tar I have used them and they seem to perform fine.

From article to topology would be time taking and also more chances of mistakes. Carbohydrates are quite important class of biomolecules and they should be available in usable form somewhere :) On Fri, Mar 20, 2015 at 6:21 PM, Justin Lemkul jalem...@vt.edu wrote: On 3/20/15 1:16 PM, Marcelo

Hi, You can download the parameters from: http://dqfnet.ufpe.br/biomat/Software_files/GROMOS-53A6glyc.tar I have used them and they seem to perform fine. They are not too different from the previous 45A4/53A6 parameters. Cheers Tom On 20/03/15 17:21, Justin Lemkul wrote: On 3/20/15
