Re: [gmx-users] Carbon Nanotube Residue

2008-06-20 Thread Vitaly Chaban
 I'm new to gromacs and the past week or so I've been digging through the
 archives so that I can simulate a carbon nanotube. I've been able find
 coordinates for the carbon nanotube as well as the parameters for the
 force field. My question is:
 
 Do I define the parameters in the force field file or can I do it in pdb
 file?
 
 I'm asking because I'm unable to change the force field file, so if I
 could just define the carbon nano tube residue in the pdb file that would
 help me out a lot.

 for reference
what the topology should like like.

For some time, I was working with the problem of simulating the CNT by means of
GROMACS, and I'll be glad to consult you if you have got any additional
questions.

Best,
Vitaly

I would recommend reading lots of tutorial material and the Gromacs 
manual, especially Chapter 5.  There are also numerous posts from Chris 
Stiles that contain a link to a tutorial he set up a while back for 
doing CNT simulations.


The main point is that you need to generate a topology that calls 
parameters from an existing force field, not modify a force field or 
structure.

I agree, and note that there's some useful material here
