Hi 

I have a question which has been puzzling me regarding the addition of 
hydrogens to atoms in aromatic rings. I am using force field ffG43a2 but do not 
have the GROMOS96 manual which is i assume the place to check how the force 
field was derived (please correct me if i am wrong) and I am confused as to why 
in a PHE residue all hydrogens (HC) are added to the carbons (C) in the 
aromatic group but in histidine, these carbon/hydrogen atoms are represented as 
atom typr CR1. This is mainly in connection to a topology that I have created 
of AMP, in which I have represented atoms 2C and 8C of the adenine ring as CR1 
(on the guidance of Prodrg and the AMP topology in ffG43a2.rtp) and am now 
wondering whether these atoms should in fact be represented as explicitly as HC 
and C.
Could any one give me any feedback on any of this and why would be most 
appropriate to do in line with the ffG43a2 force field.

Many thanks
Jo
