[gmx-users] OPLS-AA topologies for ATP

I chose the AMBER ATP for OPLS as I wanted to simulate my system with 
two different all-atom forcefields and knew that I could use AMBER in 
GROMACS with these published parameters (through use of the ffamber 
ports). The only other all-atom forcefield in GROMACS at that time was 
OPLS and rather than attempt a new parameterisation of ATP for OPLS I 
first tried these parameters to see how they would perform.

For the testing then I am sure if you think about this then you can come 
up with some idea's of what good tests would be. If not then look for 
papers where people have done similar things in the past.

Again I must reiterate if you wish to simulate ATP with an all-atom 
forcefield then I would suggest it is currently much easier to use the 
AMBER forcefields than to use OPLS unless there is a specific reason to 
use OPLS.

Cheers

Tom
