Hello,

If you cannot use the CT atom type for your model (without further optimisation) you could use the glycam web server to get the parameters by analogy

http://glycam.org/tools/molecular-dynamics/oligosaccharide-builder/build-glycan?id=1

For the RESP charges, as anselm.horn, we used the RED server and followed the GLYCAM philosophy (your could read the SI of our paper too)

HTH

Hi, Dr.
Thank you for the response.

I've tried to use CT atomtype from the GLYCAM for the acyl chain but when I ran parmchk and generated the frcmod file, there are angles, bonds and dihedral angles that requires attention (ATTN, need revision).

How do you resolve this and where should I refer to get the values?

My next question is why did you choose RESP for the charges?

Thank you, Dr.

Razil.

Hello

You could take a look of my paper see

1. Abel S, Dupradeau F-YY, Raman EP, MacKerell AD, Marchi M. 2011 Molecular simulations of dodecyl-β-maltoside micelles in water: influence of the headgroup conformation and force field parameters. J. Phys. Chem. B 115, 487–499. (doi:10.1021/jp109545v)

I developed RESP charges for glycolipids and used them with GLYCAM parameters

Good luck

Stéphane

Hello experts,
I'm currently trying to build a forcefield for a glycolipid molecule. I'm using the GLYCAM forcefield for the sugar headgroup but there's no parameter for the alkyl chain.
I've calculated the partial charges using Gaussian09 and took the parameters for the alkyl chain from the GAFF forcefield.
Is this method practical and correct to be used? Please advise.

Thank you.
