Different models will have different charges. What is correct to use 
depends on how those models were parameterized to interact with which 
other force fields, and for what purpose they were intended. Finding 
this out and making these decisions is your job, not ours.
Apart from that: just test it. Simulate bulk acetone and compare the 
properties to experimental data (densite DHvap etc.)

[gmx-users] acetone parameter

2008-04-17 Thread JMandumpal
 Dear list,

  I would like to simulate aqueous acetone system using UA OPLS
potentials. I chose the following atoms types, given below (TABLE ONE),
for acetone, with united atom  for Methyl groups.
 TABLE ONE 
--
[ atoms ]
;   nr type resnr resid  atom  cgnr   charge mass
 1 opls_0691  ACETCAA 10.000  15.0350
 2 opls_2801  ACETC_2 10.470  12.0110
 3 opls_0691  ACETCAD 10.000  15.0350
 4 opls_2811  ACETO_2 1   -0.470  15.9994

But on the other hand, when I checked the literature,  JPC
94, 1990, p.1683, I found out, the parameters are given in the following 
manner, TABLE TWO :
TABLE TWO

group (zero charge), in my input file, compared to what has been published. I 
would like to know whether the parameters (charge) I chose is right, else which 
atom type I must use for methyl group.
