Hello,

I'm using a macromolecule with the OPLS-AA force field, solvated with SSWM4-DP polarizable water (many thanks to DvS for this). The .itp file for the polarizable water has a [defaults] line that looks like:

[ defaults ]
LJ      Geometric

whereas when the OPLS-AA forcefield .itp files are read in, they contain a defaults section that looks like this:

[ defaults ]
; nbfunc        comb-rule       gen-pairs       fudgeLJ fudgeQQ
1               3               yes             0.5     0.5

and hence grompp complains about two [defaults] sections.

I know comb-rule 3 means geometric averages of LJ parameters, but I'm wondering about the compatibility of the 'gen-pairs', 'fudgeLJ' and 'fudgeQQ' parameters.

Can anyone suggest a single defaults line that would be compatible with both of these ? Could I safely use ONLY the OPLS-AA defaults line without breaking SSWM4-DP?

Many thanks,
Steve Kirk

Apart from just trying it, which I recommend you do, the SW models don't have any 1-4 interactions so you are safe there. For more involved molecules this may be a problem.
