[gmx-users] New ion parameters and OPLS-AA

[Reza Salari]

Thank you very much. That sounds interesting!

BTW, I finally found out that the only way to use parameters developed using different combination rules together, is to define them manually in nonbonding_params section of topology. This sounds a little bit dangerous since it is sort of mixing different approaches.

Regards,
Reza Salari

If you decide to change the ions parameters, you can use the method described here:

http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jp064835t?prevSearch=%255Bauthor%253A%2Bde%2BAraujo%255D&searchHistoryKey=

It is relatively fast and provide nice parameters.

Like Dr Abraham suggestion here:

My question is that can I use the exact sigma values from Cheatham for my simulations? I'm almost positive that I have to change these sigma values to be consistent with the combination rule that I am using. In fact there is a paper by Horinek et al that has a nice table of different ionic sigma and epsilon values from different parameter sets (Aqvist, Jensen, Cheatham,..). The article is

However it seems sort of unclear to me how they got these value since in some references that they've mentioned I could find either sigma or sigma prime, not both. So I am guessing there must be some way to convert these two sigmas to each other.
