Hi Justin
Thanks for your answer.
I had check the relevant sugar, but I still have the problem of
parameterization of the open GLC ring that forms the lactitol molecule.

Hence why parameterization is difficult :) But I maintain that all of the relevant functional groups (which in your case are primarily alcohols) are present within the force field to get you started. There are slight differences between sugar alcohol groups (i.e., GLC/GAL) and alcohols on amino acids (SER/TYR), especially in terms of charge. You will have to decide what is best for your molecule. Thorough validation of the accuracy of these parameters is necessary in all cases of new parameters.

Sorry, there is no easy answer when developing new parameters. It is a very difficult part of running simulations :)

If you know of a similar example please let me know.
Thanks very much

Hi All
I am trying to analize the dynamics of polysaccharid which include
lactitol grups (b-D-Galp-(1-4)-D-Glc-ol), using ffG53a6 force field.
I need to make a new building block in .rtp file, but I don´t know about
the proper parameters.
Most of the fundamental building blocks you need are already present in
the
force field.  Check out the relevant .rtp file and you'll find the sugars,
as
well as phosphate within a few entities.

Validation will be another story, unless you think "chemical intuition"
will be
enough.  But real parameter development is laborious.  See here:

Someone has made a lactitol´s block  or can help me with the proper
parameters?
Any help would be appreciated.
Carmen
