Hello,

I created a topology file for 1 ammonia in water. Could someone please have a look at the file and let me know if it looks okay.


With a fractional charge of +0.38, I'd say these parameters (at least as far as the charges) are inappropriate. The only way to determine if parameters are appropriate is to derive them in a manner consistent with the original force field. This is not a trivial task. Consult the list archive and Gromacs wiki for tips.
