[gmx-users] OPLS parametes for cholesterol

Hi Yang,

To describe the bonding interactions I used atom types from the OPLS  
force field (.atp file). I picked  the atom type based on chemical  
environment (eg sp3/sp2 for C or being involved in a specific  
functional group). So I did not create new atom types. The partial  
charges are the default ones given in ffoplsaanb.itp (probably  
adjusted adhoc a bit to sum up to zero). I did not check if the  
geometry fits a QM geometry, but after a MM geometry optimization in  
gas phase it looked OK. If you need an accurate ff for cholesterol  
you definitely will have to refine the parameters and charges but the  
set I gave you should be a good start. My interest was just to have  
cholesterol into a POPC bilayer and I did not need to look at  
specific interactions of CHL with POPC or water. So this ff was ok  
for me but may not be satisfactory for your purpose.

I hope this helps.

Valentin
