Dear list, I would like to simulate aqueous acetone system using UA OPLS potentials. I chose the following atoms types, given below (TABLE ONE), for acetone, with united atom for Methyl groups. TABLE ONE ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ atoms ] ; nr type resnr resid atom cgnr charge mass 1 opls_069 1 ACET CAA 1 0.000 15.0350 2 opls_280 1 ACET C_2 1 0.470 12.0110 3 opls_069 1 ACET CAD 1 0.000 15.0350 4 opls_281 1 ACET O_2 1 -0.470 15.9994 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- But on the other hand, when I checked the literature, JPC 94, 1990, p.1683, I found out, the parameters are given in the following manner, TABLE TWO : TABLE TWO ************************************************************************************ atom types charge sigma epsilon CH3 0.062 3.910 0.160 C 0.300 3.750 0.105 O -0.424 2.960 0.210 ********************************************************************************** For keeping total charge in the system to zero, I used the opls_069 for methyl group (zero charge), in my input file, compared to what has been published. I would like to know whether the parameters (charge) I chose is right, else which atom type I must use for methyl group.
thanking in advance, Jes
