Hi,
I was wondering whether OPLS supports force-field for alkane chain or ethers . One of the molecule I am looking forward to using is ethylene glycol ( CH2-O-CH2-O-CH2 ). But, I was wondering whether it is available in OPLS forcefield .

Practically speaking, if you can develop reliable parameters, you can use any force field you like. Whether or not parameters already exist for this particular purpose (or a suitably similar one) should be documented in the literature. As for whether or not these kinds of polymers are already implemented in Gromacs, the answer is almost certainly no, but the framework is there so that you can introduce whatever new species you want.

Any help  will be appreciated .
