Re: AMBER: Atom types/parameters for chromene

We used CM for non-aromatic double bond when we developed the parm99 force
field. However, my recommendation is to use gaff for small molecules. You
can safely use amber protein force fields and gaff together. You can even
merge two force fields into one parameter file (such as gaff + parm99sb)
without any conflict. As a matter of fact, gaff inherited all parameters
when possible from parm99 and parm94.
