Don't do it. The berger force field is mostly derived from OPLS, so  
you will (again) find it much easier to defend your choices if you mix  
it with OPLS-AA/L instead.

Or if can use GROMOS87 for the protein and the Berger for the lipids, correct ?

Read the Berger documentation, find out what it was parameterized for 
use with, and see if you can use that. Nothing else is readily defensible.

2007-11-08 Thread Patrick Fuchs

Hi Erik,
but I did read many works in the literature that used G43a*, even yours 
in BJ (2006). I basically agree that the 'philosophy' of the Berger 
lipids is derived from OPLS, thus using this latter force field is 
probably best suited for peptide/lipid simulation in conjunction with 
Berger lipids (like in Tieleman et al 2006 J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 18 
S1221-S1234, or your last paper in press in Proteins). But apart from 
self-consistency, is it so a problem to mix Berger lipids with a GROMOS 
derived force field ? I ask you that because *many* previous works used 
Berger lipids with ffgmx (and this latter is probably still in use even 
if deprecated). So what is right ?
It would probably be worth doing a systematic comparison of the use of 
different protein force fields with Berger lipids. The above ref of P. 
Tieleman goes in this direction.

Cheers,

Patrick

Not really, if you look in numbers I'd guess Amber is the most popular. 
The G87 ff is 20 years old, and the Van Gunsteren group has already 
published updates in 1996 and most recently in 2005. There are known 
problems with it and you may indeed have problems defending your choice 
of force field for publications.


Thanks
