[gmx-users] Atom typing question

Hi

Thanks for the reply, I've had a look and there is no longer an OS type in ffG43a2 so I've kept this as OA. This atom is also OA in the ATP topology in the ffG43a2.rtp file so I'm taking my lead from there!

>From the paper that reports the structure of the enzyme  i am studying none of the oxygens in the PO3 part of the AMP moleculae are thought to be protonated, due to some previous reaction, I think!

Thanks

Therefore is it correct to assume that these 3 oxygens will be of OM type and not two of OA and one of OM as PRODRG suggested (it did not add any hydrogens to these atoms).

Yes and OA should be OS (if that still exists in that force field,
otherwise OA may be correct). Shouldn't one of the oxygens be
protonated?
