[gmx-users] RE: Re: Gromos Parameters for Heme bound Oxygen

[olaniyi yusuff]

Hi,
Thanks for the your reply. I quite know that there is need for expertise to be able to derive parameters, that's why i want to know if anyone already have the gromos parameters for the oxy- and carbomonoxy- heme.
The references i've seen so far for related works in my literature search used the charmm force field parameters and amber but again i had problems when i try to use amber, pdb2gmx complain of not finding residue heme in the topology file.
The question now is can i use charmm force field parameters in gromacs and how do i go about incorporating charmm ff into gromacs. 
Please i need a guide because i'm relatively new in simulation work, i am from experimental background.
thanks.
