[gmx-users] Using ffgmx and ffG43a1 topologies

[Tsjerk Wassenaar]

Hi Venky,

You may be able to map to map the parameters from ffgmx to ffg43a1,
looking at the force field files ffgmx* and ffG43a1*, but that does
not guarantee in any way that your results will make any sense.
Especially since the SDS makes up an important part of your system,
you have to make sure the parameters for that part are reasonable (the
least). You can try the prodrg parameters and simulate SDS, checking
against available experimental data. I would strongly suggest not just
to take the prodrg parameters and put blind trust in them.

Best,

Tsjerk
