Re: [AMBER] The lipid section in the 2020 manual require updating

I concur. I very much doubt any of that additional parameterization has been tested for compatibility with the existing lipid force fields.

I would advise waiting for Lipid 20 which we will release shortly.

All the best

Head group torsion parameters are revised, resulting in improved agreement with NMR order parameters, and hydrocarbon chain parameters are updated, allowing a better match with phase transition temperatures. I do not know the origin or the mechanism of parameterisation of the lysophospholipids, PtdIns, and cardiolipins that are mentioned in the AMBER 20 manual packmol-memgen package and so cannot give any comment on their suitability for use with the rest of the Lipid 14/17 force fields.
