Dear Lemkul,

thank you very much for your quick respond.
But what parameters is involved in selection of force field? Is CHARMm27 selection good?


You should choose a force field based on whether or not it can accurately describe the molecule(s) you're interested in simulating. You should spend considerable time evaluating the literature to make an educated choice. No one can supplant your judgment, and a careful choice made early will save you lots of time (and wasted data) later.

Many could be used. Probably the only ones that can't immediately handle it are the Gromos force fields.

Such terms are not explicitly included in any of the force fields in Gromacs.
