Hi Justin

I have checked the tpr file. Now it seems to assign the the two type of
CHs as the same atom type, but at the same time with the specified
charge from the [atoms] directive, as I expected. Concerning 1-4
interactions and gen_pairs =yes, my concern is this; from the pair list
and using gen_pairs = yes, does grompp then take the 1-4 coulombic
interaction for CH from the [atomtypes] directive (as the meaning of
gen_pairs =yes)?
Or does it assign the charge based on the atom index in the pair list?


Charges are irrelevant for generation of pair interactions. Nonbonded pair interactions are LJ, not Coulombic. You will certainly have 1-4 Coulombic interactions, but they are not generated by gen_pairs. See manual section 5.3.4.

Many Thanks

Hi all

A very quick question. I have an atom-type labelled CH in the atom-types
with a particular charge, and in the atom list I assign some of these
specific atoms with zero charge as below. When I generate 1,4
interactions using gen_pairs =yes, what charge for the CH type does it
use? Does gromacs assign the CH with the different charge as a new atom
type.

Charges set in [atomtypes] are not used.  The zero charge is
assigned.  Verify this by using gmxdump on your .tpr file.
