[gmx-users] Charge groups in Charmm for lipids

[Thomas Piggot]

The new GROMACS 4.5.4 version of the CHARMM36 force field files are now 
uploaded on the GROMACS website contributions section.

Just to note that if anyone downloaded the 4.5.4 version uploaded a few 
hours ago then the atomtypes.atp file was incomplete and should download 
this new version. Sorry for any problems caused by this.

Cheers

Tom

There is a DPPG entry in the lipids.rtp file that should help in making a CHARMM27 DPPG rtp entry (if you wish to use the CHARMM27 lipids rather than the CHARMM36 ones).
