Hi guys,

We wanted to change from AmberTools15 to AmberTools16, and we saw in the
changelog (http://ambermd.org/changelog.html) about the new specifications
for choosing force-fields.

For now, we were at least testing if oldff/leaprc.ff14SB in AmberTools16
gave the same results as the leaprc.ff14SB in AmberTools15.

As a matter of fact, it does not. The initial difference that caught my
attention was:

591c596
< AMBER General Force Field for organic molecules (Version 1.7, Nov 2013)
---
> AMBER General Force Field for organic molecules (Version 1.8, Mar 2015)
So I changed to use the gaff.dat from AmberTools15.
After that change, the entire diff between leap.log files using
AmberTools15 and AmberTools16 is:

If one excludes the differences in the paths, the only difference is in the
loading of news solvents (I think? from solvents.lib). These shouldn’t
affect.
The output .crd is the same, no differences. But the output .prmtop files
are different.
Namely,
   - there are differences in the POINTERS section, in the 8th and 15th
   entry, which correspond to the MPHIA (number of dihedrals not containing
   hydrogen) and NPHIA (MPHIA + number of constraint dihedrals). The
   difference is between 7371 and 7373, with AmberTools16 presenting two more:
7,8c7,8
<     7196      17    5555    1670    3625    2269    7454    7371
  0       0
<    23114    1552    1670    2269    7371      68     160     213
 35       1

>    23114    1552    1670    2269    7373      68     160     213      35       1
   - the previously mentioned entry differences also show in
   DIHEDRALS_WITHOUT_HYDROGEN:
2097 2106 -2115 2121 44
4383 4392 -4401 4407 44
   - lastly, the RADII section, there are multiple differences, where one
   radius that is 1.2 in AmberTools15, shows as 1.3 in AmberTools16. Sample of
   differences:
22541,22542c22542,22543
<   1.70000000E+00  1.20000000E+00  1.70000000E+00  1.30000000E+00
1.30000000E+00
<   1.30000000E+00  1.70000000E+00  1.20000000E+00  1.20000000E+00
1.70000000E+00
---
>   1.70000000E+00  1.30000000E+00  1.70000000E+00  1.30000000E+00  1.30000000E+00
>   1.30000000E+00  1.70000000E+00  1.30000000E+00  1.30000000E+00  1.70000000E+00
The tleap.in file used was this one:
# tleap file generated by amber.build
source leaprc.lipid14
source leaprc.ff14SB (CHANGED TO oldff/leaprc.ff14SB for AmberTools16)
source leaprc.gaff
# Loading parameter files
loadamberparams frcmod.ionsjc_tip3p
# Loading prepi topologies
# Loading the system
mol = loadpdb input.pdb
# Adding disulfide bonds
bond mol.22.SG mol.152.SG
bond mol.40.SG mol.56.SG
bond mol.124.SG mol.225.SG
bond mol.131.SG mol.198.SG
bond mol.163.SG mol.177.SG
bond mol.188.SG mol.212.SG
# Writing out the results
saveamberparm mol structure.prmtop structure.crd
The input.pdb from built from PDB 3PTB.
I can share the files that I used and the outputs. Let me know the platform
that you prefer for receiving the files.
Is there any reason for these differences? We are trying to have a smooth
transition from AmberTools15 to AmberTools16 and it would be very helpful
to have your insight on these. Thank you.
Best regards,
João
