Hi there

The amide partial charges in the share folder of gromacs G56A3ff is as following
   H                             H: +0.280  N: -0.280
    |                              C: -0.380   O: -0.380
C-N-C-C                      other C : 0.000
       "
       O

I guess all protein people use partial charges of amide like above because it is in the forcefield file? I am wondering where are those numbers come from? Any reference will be great!

Anyone who uses this particular parameter set will use these partial charges, 
yes.

(I know in Justin Lemkul 2010 paper he discusses about the partial charges of amide. I am curious about how gromacs sign those numbers. It must be good although different form gaussian calculations.)


Gromos96 parameterization uses empirical adjustment to reproduce condensed-phase behavior and thermodynamic properties (see paper linked above), thus most QM calculations will not reproduce these partial charges, as we demonstrated in that work.

Thank you for your time!
