If you really want to use OPLS/AA then you can find DNA parameters on the Gromacs website using the following link.

http://www.gromacs.org/component/option,com_docman/task,doc_details/gid,45/Itemid,26/

However i am not sure that these parameters are well tested and i am not sure if they have been used in many/any published works. Like Justin said the AMBER forcefields would be a better option unless you need OPLS/AA for a specific reason, for more info on the AMBER forcefields in Gromacs see:

Hope this helps

Tom

Hi all,

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but:

I am attempting to simulate the interaction between a peptide and a DNA
strand using the OPLS/AA force field.  However the parameters for the
DNA bases don't appear to be included.  Where might I find these
parameters suitable for adapting to GROMACS?



Any particular motivation for using OPLS-AA?  The AMBER force fields
include both DNA and protein.

Thanks in advance,
