Re: [AMBER] About water flags running parm7 with NAMD

Hi Daniel:

The title indicates that I was running AMBER FF. Perhaps I should have
specified 99SB. I was simply asking whether the flags I used for TIP3 water
are correct when using NAMD-CUDA as engine. I wanted to freeze water O-H
bonds only. As the simulation proved slow, I was wondering whether my aim
was accomplished by the flags used.

I have my reasons to use that engine and AMBER FF. The first, because, once
the system is equilibrated, I want to run a particular biased MD that is
not available with the AMBER engine, either sander or pmemd. The second,
because transition metal prosthetic groups, as in my protein, can be rather
smoothly parameterized under 99SB.
