Hello,
I have got the zwitterion structure of beta-alanine from ChEBI website, and
the ChEBI Id is *CHEBI:57966.*
I downloaded in mol2 format and tried with the CGenFF and swissparam servers
to get the charmm FF. but i have got two different charges for each of the
case.

In case of CGenFF the charges i got by uploading the zwitterionic
beta-alanine.mol2:

ESI *****        0.000 ! param penalty=   4.000 ; charge penalty=  12.737
GROUP            ! CHARGE   CH_PENALTY
ATOM N      NG3P3  -0.299 !    2.500
ATOM C1     CG324   0.127 !   10.269
ATOM C2     CG321  -0.245 !   12.737
ATOM O1     OG2D2  -0.760 !    0.850
ATOM C3     CG2O3   0.587 !   12.403
ATOM O2     OG2D2  -0.760 !    0.850
ATOM H1     HGP2    0.330 !    0.000
ATOM H2     HGP2    0.330 !    0.000
ATOM H3     HGP2    0.330 !    0.000
ATOM H4     HGA2    0.090 !    2.500
ATOM H5     HGA2    0.090 !    2.500
ATOM H6     HGA2    0.090 !    0.000
ATOM H7     HGA2    0.090 !    0.000

In case of SwissParam the charges i got by uploading the zwitterionic
beta-alanine.mol2:
[ atoms ]

   3 CR        1  LIG C2       3 -0.1060  12.0110

   7 HNRP   1  LIG H1       7  0.4500   1.0079
   8 HNRP   1  LIG H2       8  0.4500   1.0079
   9 HNRP   1  LIG H3       9  0.4500   1.0079
  10 HCMM 1  LIG H4     10  0.0000   1.0079
  11 HCMM 1  LIG H5     11  0.0000   1.0079
  12 HCMM 1  LIG H6     12  0.0000   1.0079
  13 HCMM 1  LIG H7     13 -0.0000   1.0079

So, how can i validate that which charges for the molecule, is correct..??
Which one is correct one to run the simulation in gromacs (using charmm36
FF)..??

Any suggestions are appreciated.
