[gmx-users] OPLS/AA + TIP5P, anybody?

[Christopher Neale]

Dear Gigo:

I've never used tip5p, but perhaps you could add some LJ terms to the opls_120 definition,
do your minimization, then remove the fake LJ term on opls_120 and run your MD?

If that doesn't work, then you might be able to minimize your system using FLEXIBLE tip3p
water and then use a script to convert the tip3p into tip5p. I expect that you can set 0,0,0
coordinates for each of the tip5p dummy atoms and that they will get correctly positioned 
in your first mdrun step with tip5p.

Chris.

Dear Mark,
Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, TIP5P is completely rigid and 
the FLEXIBLE define will not change it. Any other ideas?
Best,
g
