Sorryyy, i couldn't understand you.
My nanotube is ZnS which is better to optimize by DFT.
All in all you think it is not true to use DFT calculation for amino acid
partial charges?

Yes, but i should compare my results to the prior results and system(with a
little changing) which i calculated them by AMBER99. So if i change the ff
i think the "comparison" is not valuable and rational to be published.
This is my idea but I don't know this scrupulosity is needed or not. What
do you think as you are experienced?
