Dear Users,
I am trying to port the new parmbsc0 forcefield ( http://mmb.pcb.ub.es/PARMBSC0/frcmod.parmbsc0) into gromacs for DNA simulations. While unit conversions are sufficient to convert many of the parameters from AMBER to GROMACS format, dihedral angle conversion does not seem to be straight forward - the dihedral parameters need to be converted to the Ryckaert-Bellemans parameters. I went through the GROMACS 4.0 manual, especially equations 4.61-4.65 to understand the procedure. The procedure involves comparing the fourier expansion of the IUPAC convention of dihedral potential (equation 4.65) with the Ryckaert-Bellemans (RB) functional of dihedral potential (equation 4.62) to get the Cn's of the RB function. However, I am not able to understand how to account for the phase angles. (Also to note, the parmbsc0 forcefield contains phase angles other than 0 and 180.) Any advice or suggestion will be of great help.
