[gmx-users] Can N(CH2)3 be set a charge group?

[Berk Hess]

Hi,

I don't think that is a good idea.
I put the following advise in grompp
 "Since atoms only see each other when the centers of geometry of the charge groups they belong to are within the cut-off distance, too large charge groups can lead to serious cut-off artifacts.\n"
        "For efficiency and accuracy, charge group should consist of a few atoms.\n"
        "For all-atom force fields use: CH3, CH2, CH, NH2, NH, OH, CO2, CO, etc.",'

We should also put this somewhere in the manual.

Dear gmx users,

  Can N(CH2)3 be set a charge group? Is it too large to set? Any reply would be thanked very much.

 

Sincerely
