Dear all, I am using the CGenFF/paramchem framework for a new molecule (an imidazolium cation derivative with methyl groups on both N atoms). I faced a known problem going from CHARMM package to Gromacs with parameters already existing in CHARMM for Gromacs. I assume that this is due to paramchem only being implemented for CGenFF3.0.1 and Gromacs using version 4.1. I wanted now to check if the parameters exist in the CGenFF for CHARMM and they don’t!
How is it possible that the parameters exist in the Gromacs version of CHARMM force-field (http://mackerell.umaryland.edu/download.php?filename=CHARMM_ff_params_files/charmm36-jul2017.ff.tgz) while they are missing in the CHARMM FF version (http://mackerell.umaryland.edu/download.php?filename=CHARMM_ff_params_files/toppar_c36_jul17.tgz)? Why are the dihedrals considered duplicate, when the atomtypes clearly are different? Is this due to CHARMM handling dihedral potentials differently to Gromacs? Following the link you find all used parameter and force field files (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/m89q64g0pae6wrf/AAAx1aNtJ1TZKNDFgUo2oSu7a?dl=0) and in the following the error output. Thank you very much for all hints and help!
