[gmx-users] Help converting GROMOS ff files to GROMACS

[Moore, Jonathan (J)]

I have GROMOS parameter files for the GROMOS 45A4 parameter set for carbohydrates (mtb45a4_carbo.dat and ifp45a4.dat).  I want to use these parameters in GROMACS, so I need to convert them to a format compatible with GROMACS.  I've never used GROMOS or GROMACS before.

Are there any scripts, tools, guides, etc. available to help a newbie in doing this conversion?

Thanks,
Jonathan
