[gmx-users] charge groups

[Negar Parvizi]

Dear Dr.Lemkul,





Thank you very much for your reply. It was very helpful to me.
I checked the force field .rtp files. Here I have two questions:
1-Checking the .rtp files of gromos force field, I saw that always  one hydrogen of NH2 and also the OH group of COOH were not included in the 
charge groups. 
On the other hand, in your paper ( Practice Consideration for building 
GROMOS-Compatiple Small-Molecule Topologies) I noticed that you have 
replaced these NH2 and COOH groups with NHCH3 and COCH3. I did not 
understand this. Would you please explain why you did that ?
 
Should we do the same modifications  for all NH2 and COOH groups, either when 
these groups belong to an aminoacid or any other molecule? 
 
2- Is there any straightforward strategy for specifying charge groups of 
a ligand? If so, could you please introduce me a reference for that?
 
As always, your response would be greatly appreciated.
N.P

Look in the force field .rtp files.
