I have been avoiding TI or FEP as I doubt my ligand parametrisation is good enough to warrant the effort. What I am trying to do is get a rough method working as a secondary screen in a lead optimisation effort. I am not trying to be perfect, I am just trying to be better than docking at this point

GROMOS 54A7 angle types ga_13 and ga_15 seem to be both applicable to (straight or branched) aliphatic compounds. The force constant is the same but the equilibrium angle slightly differs from 109.5 to 111.0 degrees. I suppose that this difference accounts for the steric hindrance that makes the an
