If using an amber forcefield and GTP/GDP you can use the parameters on the following website. I have used the ATP/ADP ones and have had no problems with many different systems and ATP/ADP conformations with which I used to test these parameters.

Thank you Justin,
but I ran a simulation before this one with GTP & it worked fine. GDP & GTP parameters are identical except for GDP having less atoms. This is why I can't understand why I don't get an integer charge while I did in my previous simulation.


OK, but this still doesn't help anyone give you any advice. Please refer to my previous post - which case applies to you: almost integer, or way off?

It is also potentially faulty logic to suggest that GDP parameters can be generated from GTP parameters by simply chopping off a phosphate. Under most force field parameter sets, the charges on the beta-phosphate will have to change since the electronic properties of the molecule are now different.

        Hi,

        In order to run my simulation, I had to insert GDP parameters in
        ffamber94 (the force field I'm using).
        However, I'm having a problem with GDP charge.
        the charge of every charge group in top file should be an
        integer. But I'm getting a decimal charge which gives me
        naturally a decimal total charge of my molecule.
        I checked number of atoms, it's correct, their charge also.
        But it seems it's having trouble adding charges & giving an
        integer charge.
        Does anyone have an idea where is the source of the problem?


    What is the charge?  If it is a small difference between an integer
    and your charge (i.e., the difference between +1.9999 and +2) then
    there is no problem. The issue there is the inherent limitation of
    doing a lot of floating-point operations to sum the total charge.
     If, however, you have a charge of +1.9256 when you wanted +2, then
    your parameters are simply wrong.

        Thanks

        Carla
