I also found this usefull, but have a question on what one would consider the standard. from eyeballing mostly the charges I get for .itp files from PRODRG server fall into mullikin charges, but usually 3-4 dont or have no charge, but I woundered if the ESP or AIM charges would be beter. From the web page http://cccbdb.nist.gov/ which gives an overload of charge, angle etc tables and how they were determined.
ESP Electrostatic potential. The electrical potential due to the nuclei and electrons in the molecule, as experienced by a test charge. AIM Atoms-in-molecules. An analysis method based upon the shape of the total electron density; used to define bonds, atoms, etc. (5). Atomic charges computed using this theory are often quite different from those from other analyses (e.g., from Mulliken populations). Such charges are probably the most justifiable theoretically, but meet some resistance because the values obtained may be quite different from those from older theories (6). In addition, how would AIM charges play out in Gromacs, especially with center points in rings which are different from nuclear centers, but representative of PI orbitals, etc...With some say dummy point lacking geometry (not that I would ever do that, but I do often wounder about representation of PI interactions in simulations, such as say a metal ion trapped between two benzene rings by PI) And as an example, this is a partial table of a molecule-- Computed charges for C6H5NH2 (aniline) HF/3-21G Charge (e) Number Element Mulliken chelpg AIM ESP 1 C 0.390 0.715 2 C -0.269 -0.486 3 C -0.211 -0.037 4 C -0.278 -0.316 5 C -0.211 -0.037 6 C -0.269 -0.486 7 N -0.984 -1.143 8 H 0.224 0.203 9 H 0.236 0.152 10 H 0.229 0.171 11 H 0.236 0.152 12 H 0.224 0.203 13 H 0.341 0.453 14 H 0.341 0.453 Basically, I woundered which would be more proper charge wise in constructing small, or medium sized molecules.
