[gmx-users] Solvatebox from itp GAFF organic solvents and amber solute.

[Sharapa]

Constructing solvent from itp files and pdb provided from 
virtualchemistry, (not making water or methanol solventbox that seems to 
be well automatizised) seems to me to be most untrivial (probably due to 
luck of experience).
Taking topologies from amber seems to be more trivial procedure, with 
amb2gmx.pl, but is it independent from forcefield. Dont i have to 
specify in calculation GAFF ?, and if yes - i dont see it as typical 
Gromacs forcefield, should i make smth extra for enabling GAFF?

Thanks in advance,
Dmitriy
