[gmx-users] Force Field for Vacuum simulation

[James Starlight]

Hi David!

Thanks for reference I'll study it carefully.


I have some general question about the vacuum simulation

1- I've found that common GROMOS fields are not suitable for the
vacuum simulation because of its implementation for condensed phase .
But In some referencces I've found that people use 53.6 ff for the in
vacuum simulation. In addition Ive done minimisation and equilibration
in that ff in vacuum and my system have not been collapse :) Is there
any wy to adopt this ff for the in vacum ?

2- I have uncommon onject for simulation. It's GFP protein where
chromophore group ( like ligand) is covalent bonded to the backbone of
this protein. As I've understood in Justins tutorial there are no any
covalent bonds between protein and ligand. But how I could make this
bond if I operate with TWO topology files ( one for chromophore and
another for protein itself) ? I've done all steps in accordance to
Justins tutorial but on the minimisation step my chromphore dissuse
out of the protein interior because of absent of backbone group.

Thanks again,

James
