Hello,
I am going to use Gaussian to make QM/MM calculations where
I'd like to use the AMBER force field for the MM part.
The system I am interested in is a fragment of a protein for which
I want uncharged N-termini (attached to an Arginine) and C-
(attached to a Valine). I have been looking in the topology file of
the C- and N-termini in the dat/leap/prep directory of the force field
(downloaded from the Amber web site) and did not find any sign of
C- and N-termini uncharged: -COOH and -NH2 respectively
Does anybody know if they actually exist somewhere in the topology
files or if there is a common way people treat them in Amber simulations ?
Thanks for your time
