Re: [AMBER] GB Parameterization

We assigned parameters in leap using “set default PBradii mbondi3’” and used igb = 8. The “blow up” begins with the initial step where the Antechamber-parameterized phenyl ring fragments, sending carbon and hydrogen tens of angstroms away within a few steps. The energies in the heating output appear reasonable, except for the bonding terms where the energies look much higher than expected. The gas phase simulations and the explicit solvent simulations are very stable on the microsecond timescale, so we are confident in everything, but the GB parameters. As far as the energies go, the minimization energy is roughly 49 kJ/mol higher than the energy at step 0 of the heating.

Thanks,
Taylor

Let us know which gb model you used, and how you assigned the intrinsic
radii in leap. You might also try without gb to to make sure that is the
problem. Does gas phase md work ok? Next, look closely at the md, using
ntpr=1. What do you mean by "blow up"?
