[gmx-users] x2top

[Tsjerk Wassenaar]

Hi Bernhard,

Why would you want to use the Gromos96 43a1 force field for this and
why use x2top to provide the topology for it? As Justin said, you
could use the PRODRG topology. But carbohydrates have been properly
parameterized for the Gromos96 45a3 force field (and the parameters
are als in 53a5/53a6). If you're serious about the dynamics of your
sugars, you'd better construct a topology in line with these
parameters. For the parameters, check the paper from Roberto Lins and
Wilfred van Gunsteren (don't know the ref by heart).

Cheers,

Tsjerk
