[gmx-users] how to convert CGenFF into .itp file?

[Peter C. Lai]

It should come with two files. A .prm file, which contains the actual
forcefield parameters that you use the script to convert to bonded and
nonbonded .itp and atomtypes.atp The .rtf file is the charmm equivalent of 
our .rtp file: it contains some premade residue topologies with charge and 
connectivity information. I don't know if there are scripts to convert this or 
not, but it's easy enough to get what you need by hand especially since if 
your ligand isn't in there, you'll have to create the .rtp entry on your own 
or get them from paramchem anyway...
