[gmx-users] N-acetyl-d-glucosamine parameters

[Thomas Piggot]

You could use GLYCAM for the N-acetyl-d-glucosamine with an AMBER force 
field (probably 99SB or 99SB-ILDN) for the protein. I have never used 
GLYCAM parameters in GROMACS but I think it should be fairly easy to do 
using one of the ACPYPE or amb2gmx.pl tools.

Cheers
