Hello Justin,

okay that is beyond my expertise. Do you know / think if there will be a force field in the future where deuterium is present?


There are tons of published studies that have done MD with deuterium. I suggest you start there.

Hello Justin,

thank you for your answer. So the only way to simulate with deuterium atoms would be a parametrization of the force field, in particular the bonded force constant?


At minimum. All parameters are connected, so angles and dihedrals may be affected by different vibrational frequencies.

Thank you in advance!

All the best

Thanks Vytautas, might solve it! And additionally change the mass in the force field.



Increasing the mass will also change the vibrational frequency of any bonds involved, requiring a reparametrization of the bonded force constant. If you're using constraints, this does not matter, but then I sort of wonder why you're bothering to replace H with D and expect to see any kind of difference.

Just change all D to H in structure file IMHO.

    Dear all,

is there any force field in gromacs (or elsewhere) which can handle
deuterium atoms?

All the best
