[gmx-users] CGenFF generated prm/itp overriding and messing with charmm36-nov2016.ff?

[Jonathan Saboury]

Dear Justin

Do you mean the "Include parameters that are already in CGenFF" option? I
didn't tick that option but I did have to tick "guess bond orders from
connectivity" or else it would error because of hypervalent carbon (5
bonds)

Thanks!
