[gmx-users] sigma and epsilon.

[chip]

Please anybody help me

 

 

I'm trying to simulate a protein-ligand complex system using GROMACS 4.5.3
and Amber03 forcefield.

 

In this system, a carbocationic intermediate was used as ligand

 

 

C - C+ - C - C - O-PP (Carbocationic intermediate)

    │

    C

 

I tried to obtain topology file for intermediate molecule using ACPYPE

 

[Command: acpype -i intermediate.mol2 -n -2]

 

But, ACPYPE didn't recognize the carbocation

 

 

So, I firstly obtained topology file for substrate molecule

 

 

C = C - C - C - O-PP (Substrate: IPP)

    │

    C

 

[Command: acpype -i IPP.mol2 -n -3]

 

 

Then, I tried to modify [atomtypes] in IPP.itp file by adding atomtype for
carbocationic carbon

 

But, I couldn't do this

 

 

[ atomtypes ] <--- IPP.itp

how to obtain sigma and epsilon values for carbocationinc carbon ?

 

I've read the manual, but I'm still none the wiser

 

I'am a lack of knowledge about this

 

Please kindly give some suggestions and comments 

 

Is it right this way to make the topology file for carbocationic
intermediate ?

 

 

 

Thanks,
