[gmx-users] N-Acetylglucosamine (NAG) in OPLS-AA

Hi,

 

I am interested in the structure of a protein where some asparagine
residues are N-glycosylated by N-Acetylglucosamine (NAG). As a first
step I tried to model NAG itself (see e.g.
http://xray.bmc.uu.se/hicup/NAG/index.html) in the OPLS-AA force field
using implicit solvation; this has involved a surprisingly (for me)
large amount of tinkering. Here I'd like to present the changes I needed
to make to the oplsaa.ff/* force field files in order to accomplish
this; I would like to elicit comments, and hopefully this will also be
useful to others.

So, are my choices reasonable? Could this have been done in some easier
fashion?

 

Thanks,

Ehud Schreiber.
