Re: [AMBER] Building Forcefield for Glycolipid Molecule

Razil,

some time ago we used a (somehow) similar system, namely trehalose with
two acyl chains. To be consistent within the ligand system (and to avoid
any cross-terms between forcefield borders), we decided to use only
Glycam atom types there and applied the Glycam charge parameterization
scheme.

If you are interested, have a look into the Supplementary material there:
https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-23624-8

But I guess, Stéphane's work might be more related to your ligand system.

Good luck,

Anselm
