[gmx-users] Topology files for OPLSAA and RESP charges

[Nicolas Sapay]

Hello,

I just read your message... As far as I know, the RESP charge method is 
mainly employed forthe AMBER force field and associated (GLYCAM, GAFF, 
etc). I would check first that RESP is compatible with the method 
employed to develop OPLS-AA. Note that the AmberTools provide some 
scripts to calculate RESP charges. I have also used the RED server 
(http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/REDS/), which is quite convenient when 
you want to take into account different conformations of a same 
molecule. In all cases, you will need to provide to those tools the 
molecular electrostatic potential of your molecule. None of this tools 
can generate a Gromacs topology file, however.

Regards,
Nicolas
