- You 1st need the charges & force field libraries (Tripos mol2 file
for instance) for the DMF & MeOH molecules taken individually.
To get the charges & Tripos mol2 files, you could look at the
R.E.DD.B. W-46 project:
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/REDDB/projects/W-46/
& its LEaP script:
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/REDDB/projects/W-46/script1.ff
If you use the "Download projects" tool, you could look for projects
about MeOH only as well:
Search... [Done]
Result(s) for search by Molecule name Methanol
Project name Methanol
Project code W-32
Project name Organic solvent
Project code W-46
Project name Organic solvent
Project code W-47
Project name Organic solvent
Project code W-48
Project name Organic solvent
Project code W-49
- Then you solvate DMF (or MEOH as you prefer) by itself in LEaP
See
http://archive.ambermd.org/200405/0056.html
You save a PDB file for the DMF box created.
- For a 50/50 DMF/MeOH box, the idea is then to write a script to
modify in the PDB file the DMF molecules with an _even_ residue number:
modify means :
* remove all atom of this DMF molecule but one: keep the oxygen for instance
* rename the oxygen name & residue name in agreement with the MeOH FF
library you previously built.
- You re-load in LEaP, the FF library (Tripos mol2 file) for DMF &
MeOH, then you load the PDB file of the modified DMF box. => LEaP will
add the missing atom for MeOH in the box.
You save the prmtop/prmcrd (build a frcmod file if required), you are
ready to equilibrate...
regards, Francois
