If you include in the .itp file all the necessary combinations in those
sections, then yes, the .itp file is reasonable and will use the OPLS-AA
parameters for those specified items. Take care to get the numbering
right after that point, because you will likely be inserting lots of
hydrogens!

Sir,
If i insert the hydrogen atoms in the first section of the itp file, where atomnames ,
atomtypes , nr, cgnr are displayed, wil it be wrong. Also, i was talking that, will the
inclusion of "ffoplsaa.itp" will serve the bonded and nonbonded parameters if i
supply the connectivities in all the bonds, pairs, angles and dihedral section by the
atom numbers?
Thanks for the requested answers.

Changing the atomtypes will only work if you have explicit
inclusion of
all hydrogens in your PRODRG-generated topology. Since the
PRODRG
server outputs a GROMOS-based .itp file, this is unlikely
unless your
molecule contains only polar or aromatic groups. If
we're still talking
about CHAPS or cholesterol, this will not be the case. You
will have
nonpolar groups that, within GROMOS, are atomtype CH1, CH2,
etc., but
OPLS will not have these UA representations.
I'm not sure what you mean in the last sentence.
Nothing in this
process will be automatically generated for you.
You're building your
topology by hand. Inclusion of "ffoplsaa.itp"
will tell grompp which
parameters (bonded and nonbonded) apply to your molecule.
Calling
"ffoplsaa.itp" will not tell any Gromacs program
to automatically detect
and generate bonds, dihedrals, etc.
The only way to have "automatic" generation of
these parameters is to
build an .rtp entry for your molecule that contains all of
this
information as well, and process your structure with
pdb2gmx. This is
just as much work as building the topology yourself, I
think.

Hi,
I came to know from the mailing list that if i only
change the atomtype in the output itp file of PRODRG2 and
put the charges as optimised by Gaussian; provided i
include #include ffoplsaa.itp in the .top file of the new
molecule and just keep the atom mumbers in [bonds],
[pairs], [angles] and [dihedrals] as found in the the all
atom pdb of PRODRG2, the resultant top file will be a top
file in OPLS format. It was also stated there in the
mailing list that for the atom numbers mentioned the opls
staff will put the parameter values necccesary for the
[bonds], [angles] etc.
Is the approach right?
