[gmx-users] Effect of atomic charge on bonding parameters

[Neena Susan Eappen]

Hello gromacs users,

Following two atoms (opls_ 237 and 238) have different atomic charges, but same bond type and thereby same parameters in the ffbonded.itp file. Is the effect of charge on bonding ignored? Is that possible?

; name       bond_type     mass        charge   ptype          sigma      epsilon
opls_237     N    7        14.00670     -0.760       A      3.25000e-01  7.11280e-01
opls_238     N    7        14.00670     -0.500       A      3.25000e-01  7.11280e-01

Thank you,
Neena
