Hi all,

For the GROMOS force field there's also the automated topology builder (ATB) from Alpesh Malde and Alan Mark:

Hello,

There are several ways to get the topology + force field for an arbitrary molecule:

1. "Maestro + Desmond" programs of the Schrodinger software pack can assign OPLS-AA force filed. The parameters are stored in the *.cms file. 2. "FFLD_SERVER" of the Schrodinger software: $SCHRODINGER/utilities/ffld_server. Also OPLS-AA force filed. You will need to write a script which converts the output to Gromacs format. 3. "antechamber" + "tleap" of the AmberTools utilities. It can assign any kind of Amber force field, like General Amber Force Field.
See an example:http://compchemmpi.wikispaces.com/Scripts#GenAmberTop
You could use the "amb2gmx" script to convert the generated Amber topology to Gromacs format:

4. ''PRODRG server'' for the united atom GMX force fields.
5. ''Vega ZZ'' and "Vega" can assign OPLS-AA force field, but not all atom types, bonds etc. are supported. 6. "MCCCS Towhee'' monte carlo code can assign very many force fields, but, first, one has to create the so-called basic connectivity map (which atom is covalently bound to which).

Dear all,
    Is there any other free tool  like PRODRG ?  PRODRG server couldn't read
PDB file from user any more. It 's not easy to get a free version asap.

   Best
