Hi Tsjerk,

Sorry i did not supply any information about the enzyme/substrate system. Here, I'm studying the interaction between ester (substrate) and lipase (enzyme). The substrate contains C, O and H atoms. More details are shown in the following address.

Also I'll check the archives for related topics. Thank you so much.


Based on the structure you've shown, I do not believe there is any easy solution, other than going through the painstaking progress of deriving new force field parameters. It doesn't matter so much which atom types are used in your case, but how they are linked. An ester adduct such as you've shown has not been parameterized within the Gromacs implementation of Gromos96. If other researchers have done it, then your best bet is to see how they did it and hopefully apply it to your situation.

Otherwise, you have a long project ahead of you just to derive the correct parameters.

    Hi Ji,

    Well, if others have been there before, you can of course take from
    their experience. You haven't mentioned the substrate you're dealing
    with, though, so none of us can tell if we can offer the solution to
    your problem. First try to search the user list archives and the
    topology contribution section of the gromacs site. If that doesn't
    give any results, you can post to the user list and see if any of us
    has already been there...

    Cheers,

    Tsjerk
