[AMBER] COOH group:extra undesired bond

Dear Sir



>>See if there are differences between those parameters and yours.



I have attached two files comparing COOH parameters--ff99SB of ASH

(ASH_cooh) and COOH parameters-GAFF of my molecule (my_cooh). There are

some differences. But if I see force constants in my_cooh file they

seem to be more rigid (higher values) compared to ASH_cooh. Should I or

Can I use parameters of ASH_cooh in my_cooh..



please suggest



>...good luck....

thanks



regards,

JIomm

Take a look at the ASH and GLH residues in the Amber libraries (and their

corresponding force field parameters.) These are neutral carboxylic acids,

and have been used a lot in real simulations, without the problems you

mention.  See if there are differences between those parameters and yours.



...good luck....dac
