Hi Vinicius,

Thank you so much for this solution! I’ll try it out.

Best,
Ada

Once you have the prmtop file with CHARMM parameters set, the only issue I foresee is that you would need to recompute the reference energies to be used in the constant pH input file (CPIN) and you would possibly need to rewrite the charges of each protonation state in this same file in order to match with CHARMM charges. AmberTools18 has a new tool called finddgref.py that can help you with the reference energy calculations (see page 489 of the Amber18 manual). I suggest you to also take a look at section 22.5 of the Amber18 manual because it has information that can potentially help you when preparing your new CPIN file.

But since my system behaved weird in Amber force field ff14SB, I am thinking of using the CHARMM force field for the explicit part of the Amber constant pH method. Does anyone have experience with this? Is it possible? What should I do?
