Re: AMBER: NAD+ and NADH amber parameters

I am wondering if anybody has developed newer parameters of NAD+/NADH
specially the partail charges of the atoms. The NAD+/NADH parameters in
http://pharmacy.man.ac.uk/amber/ seems to be old, because when I compare the
adenine partail charges of the NAD+ with that of DA/DA3/DA5 in the new
parameter in all_nucleic02.lib of amber7 - they are quite different.

I wish to develop new partial charges of NAD+/NADH taking the partial
charges from DA/DA3/DA3(or doing a fresh RESP calculations for the adenine
ribose group ) and drriving the partial charges for
pyrophosphate-nicotinamide ( and reduced form) using RESP.

I am not sure what level of calculations has been used for deriving the
DA/DA3/DA5 - so I am bit confused what level of ab-initio calculation should
be used for the pyrophosphate-nicotinamide RESP calculations.

Could anyone suggest me the appropriate level of ab-initio calculations to
be conducted for this system.

Or is it still okay - if I continue to use the comibination of new
parameters for protiens and old parameters for NAD+/NADH.

Thanking you in advance.

Regards,

Jiten
