hi,

ok the next question that bugs me is if i make a directory consisting of my modified force field (*.atp, *.rtp, *bon.itp,*nb.itp) and i want to use pdb2gmx to get the *.top & .gro files according to the above new FF files, how do i supply this info to pdb2gmx. In other words how do i make pdb2gmx aware of the new FF files.


Make a new entry in (a local copy of) FF.dat.

        Hi,

        so is it a good idea to edit the original gromacs files in top
        directory for introducing new force field or is there a way to
compliment the existing FF files by a new file made by me?

    It is generally better to not mess with system-level force field
    files unless you're very sure of what you're doing, and experienced
    in making such changes. If you alter one of the original force field
    files, and you don't do it right, reverting the changes is often
    difficult.  If, for example, you want to modify the OPLS-AA force
    field, do not ever make any changes to the original file, instead
    implement them in files like ffoplsaa_mod.*

    It is even safer to implement your changes in the local directory
    until you are confident everything is working properly, then if
    you're comfortable that you've done everything 100% right, move your
    files into /share/top for convenience later.

           Read in the manual about the organization of existing force
        fields,
           as well as the component files that are necessary to make it
           function.  Beyond that, look at the implemented force fields
           themselves and see how they work together.
