[gmx-users] different tip3p water parameters between AMBER and GROMACS

Hi all, I found that the 99SB force field in AMBERTOOLS1.5 and GROMACS4.5.4 have different force constants for bond and angle parameters, after converting them to the same unit. So for those in AMBER [ moleculetype ] ; molname nrexcl ; TIP3P model WAT 2 [ atoms ] ; nr typ

Concur. I just used this approach to equilibrate a box of water/acetonitrile. If your box shrinks too much, you can probably use editconf and genbox to replicate the equilibrated box into a larger box of arbitrary size and shape. MZ On Thu, Oct 6, 2011 at 4:36 PM, Dallas Warren wrote: > Ravi,

Ravi, not entirely sure what you are actually doing / aiming to do, but another option is to run the system NPT, which means the box size will scale to give the correct pressure / density, then you take that and run your NVT run. But that means you will end up with possibly a substantially smal

Hi, If you don't get any takers, you could always just make a huge box of water (which usually dominates explicit-solvent MD costs) and run it. That way, you could scale up the size of the box arbitrarily to achieve good parallelization across that many cores. I'm not sure that'd be scientifical

Hi Zhenlong, I guess that some molecules got split over the boundaries during equilibration. You have to make them whole before changing the box. Better to start off with a rhombic dodecahedron though. Cheers, Tsjerk On Thu, Oct 6, 2011 at 6:29 PM, zhenlong li wrote: > Dear all, > My system is

Hi Alan, So is acpype using a conversion factor of 4.184 for dihedral force constant? I found some dihedral constants as 0.156 in the amber format, which should be 0.156*4.184=0.652704 in gromacs unit. However, acpype gave a force constant of 0.65084 after conversion, which is slightly off. I won
