Hello all

I have to create an octane box for studying effect of solvent hydrophobicity on enzyme activation.
Anyone using octane parameterized file in amber?
Please suggest me how to parameterize it or is there any tutorial for it.
As i am a beginner, so plz explain in steps.


There is no substitute for reading the primary literature for your desired force field, and any previous publications upon which it is based. These papers should tell you the proper methods for geometry optimization, charge calculations, etc. Then, when you have a more thorough understanding of what approach you should take, you can post a more specific question about how to accomplish this task.

Parameterization is often not a task well-suited to beginners. This should not discourage you from attempting your task, but please realize that the process of producing quality results is a long one, even for someone well-versed in exactly what is necessary. Proper derivation of parameters can take weeks, months, or years, depending on how complicated the process is. Take some time to learn how to use Gromacs for simple applications, understand the manual, understand your force field, then set out about your project.

Also, in the future, please do not include the entire digest when you post. It confuses the archive.
