[gmx-users] POL3 water model

[Ivan Gladich]

Dear Saly
      from my little experience, POL3 water model is a point polarizable 
water model.
Point polarizable water models are not available in gromacs.
Gromacs uses shell model, i.e. charge attached on a spring to mimic the 
stretching of the electronic cloud.

So you have 3 solutions
a) You can take the POL3 model, look the polarizability of oxygen and 
hydrogen atom  and attach shells on oxygen and hydrogens atoms in order 
to reproduce the model for gromacs.
b) In Gromacs there are other polarizable water models using shell (e.g. 
SWM4-DP,  SWM4-NDP,  SW ), you could try with one of this...in my 
opinion this is the best solution..;)
c) If you really need POL3 model, try with other molecular package that 
have point polarizable POL3 water (e.g. AMBER)

I hope this help
Ivan
