Dear  Dr. Tsjerk,

I study on Molecular Dynamics. I'm planning to do md simulations for
pure and binary mixtures of n-alkane molecules. I use Gromacs 4.0.4. I
want to use oplsaa, but in order to create gro and top files I should
create a .itp file manually or enter a new residue for each n-alkane
molecule into ffoplsaa.rpt file. I also searched about this to learn
much about these procedures. I saw your mails in mail archive and
though that you can lead me to do the right thing. I want to ask you
which is the true and easy way :

1.      To create a .itp file manually residue for each n-alkane
molecule

2.      To enter a new residue for each n-alkane molecule into ffoplsaa.rpt



Could you please give me the information about these procedures ? I
would be very grateful if you can help me to choose the right way.
Also, Can I use ffG43a2 force field for n-alkane md simulations ?



Thank you very much for your attention.

Sincerely,
