Dear Amber users:
May I ask a basic question regarding the atom type in GAFF? In
gaff.dat file, type cc(cd) is described as "Sp2 carbons in non-pure
aromatic systems", while type ca is labeled as "Sp2 carbons in pure
aromatic systems". My question is what's the difference between pure
and non-pure here? I did a google search, it seems that this term was
mostly used in GAFF.
The original GAFF paper used "inner sp2 carbon in conjugated ring
system" instead of "non-pure" to describe cc(cd). In that case, does
non-pure aromatic means a conjugated but non-aromatic ring system?
However, a recent paper stated that pyrrole is a nonpure aromatic
system, which confused me.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Cen
