Hi Max,

Unfortunately, there is no easy to use tool to do this. You can look at the prepdat.pl script in the model directory for an idea how to do this. This extracts the information from the prmtop file to create the MDL file. It is not the cleanest script but you may be able to modify if for your needs.

If you look at the contents of the MDL files, it is fairly straightforward and there is a description in the AmberTools manual. You should be able to construct them by hand for small molecules, which is all rism1d can reliably handle. As has been noted on the list here before, there is one poorly name section, LJSIGMA, that is really R_min/2.

Hope this helps,

Tyler
