Re: [AMBER] Building Forcefield for Glycolipid Molecule

Hi Stéphane,

I'd like to thank you for guiding me through the charge calculation using PyRED program. I managed to calculate the partial charges for my glycolipid molecules and the ligands I need for my MD simulation. Your supplements provided in your paper is very helpful. Thanks, again.

I have one more question. Do you only also use the parameter files from the PyRED in your simulation? Is it a must? Can I just build the topology using GLYCAM06 forcefield by using xleap?

Thank you.

Razil.

Hi Razil,

>> Are these values coming from the RESP calculation or we need assign these zero values manually? Or there are some functions in RED program to help us to do so?
The charge constraints to 0 were applied during the charge fitting and you have to do it manually since REDserver does not do this automatically. To do this you have to use the intramolecular charge constraint keyword : INTRA-MCC applied to the H atoms as described in the REDserver tutorials *

Best

Hello Dr,

I have looked at the paper and the supplementary information. Thank you so much for such a great work!

I have a question. In the Table S1 in supplementary information, I saw that in the DOD acyl chain, only the carbon atom has non-zero partial charges, whereas the partial charges for all hydrogen atom are 0. Are these values coming from the RESP calculation or we need assign these zero values manually? Or there are some functions in RED program to help us to do so?

Thank you so much.

Razil

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.
