Hi GMX users, I would like to perform MD with new developped CHARMM parameters in GROMACS. Since these parameters are new, they are not presents in the ffcharm*.itp files given in the of charmm27.ff in the latest GMX distribution. So I have already made the conversions for the bonded parameters. In case of the nonbonded parameters, I have added the LJ values for the new atom types at the end of the NONBONDED section of a "par_all_27_lipid.prm" file downloaded from the CHARMM website. To convert the LJ values in GROMACS format, I used the perl script of M. Abraham : convert_charmm_to_gromacs.pl (v.1.3) as follow : perl convert_charmm_to_gromacs.pl par_all27_lipid.prm I obtain the ffcharmm.itp and ffcharmmnb.itp files as expected. In the ffcharmmnb.itp the [ atomtypes ] section is present but not the [ pairtypes ] section. Moreover the values in the [ atomtypes ] are different compared to same file given in latest GMX distrib (see below). Why these differences ? ----- My ffcharmmnb.itp file [ atomtypes ] ;name mass charge ptype c6 c12 ....
