I chose the AMBER ATP for OPLS as I wanted to simulate my system with two different all-atom forcefields and knew that I could use AMBER in GROMACS with these published parameters (through use of the ffamber ports). The only other all-atom forcefield in GROMACS at that time was OPLS and rather than attempt a new parameterisation of ATP for OPLS I first tried these parameters to see how they would perform.

For the testing then I am sure if you think about this then you can come up with some idea's of what good tests would be. If not then look for papers where people have done similar things in the past.

Again I must reiterate if you wish to simulate ATP with an all-atom forcefield then I would suggest it is currently much easier to use the AMBER forcefields than to use OPLS unless there is a specific reason to use OPLS.

Dear Tom:

Thanks for your suggestion. You are absolutely right on doing more
testings. I simply haven't figure out what the appropriate test is
yet. Could you be more specific about "these parameters perform just
as well as"? What kind of test did you do?

Also, is there a reason why you choose Amber over Charmm? Is it more
"compatible" with OPLS?

Thanks,
Bin

Well I would suggest you should do some very careful testing to
validate the combination of CHARMM charges and one dihedral with the
rest of the parameters from OPLS. It is not very common (or
generally wise) to mix and match parameters from different
forcefields, see:
http://www.gromacs.org/index.php?title=Documentation/How-tos/Parameterization

I would also say that you should also take care with the OPLS-AA DNA
parameters as these have not been substantially tested/used and so
you should double check the atom types for yourself.

On the specific topic of ATP for OPLS-AA/L I have performed
simulations using the AMBER ATP parameters in OPLS-AA/L (with no
changes for anything such as the different combination rules) and
have found these parameters perform just as well as with the AMBER
forcefields. There will be a section about this (showing the results
from some of the tests I performed) in a paper I am currently writing.

The AMBER ATP parameters can be found at:

http://www.pharmacy.manchester.ac.uk/bryce/amber#cof

However, I would also ask is there a specific reason you wish to use
OPLS-AA/L? If not then it is probably easier to use one of the AMBER
forcefields with these parameters as you do not need to do any
testing (or wait for me to publish my work!)

Hi, I recently made up a topology for ADP. You can probably modify
it to ATP easily. I used native OPLS atom types based on the DNA
parameters (http://rnp-group.genebee.msu.su/3d/ff.htm). The charges
are copied from CHARMM27. Also, there is one dihedral angle
missing, again, copied from CHARMM.
Please let me know if you have any question, suggestion, ....

Hi,
Does anyone have OPLS-AA topologies for ATP?
