Hi James,

I suggest to see the differences in topologies for L and D amino acids (in the GROMOS force fields at least) you look in the aminoacids.rtp file and in particular the differences between the ALA and DALA entries.

Good thought :-) I finally see what my brain was missing - the angle of the improper dihedral is signed, and the relevant square is outside the brackets so the sign matters. The order in which the atoms are specified determines the sign of the angle. So molecules with opposite-sense chiral centres do need different topologies.

Mark,

I've mistaken

I need to invert impropers for DIHEDRAL for Calpha atom. By this way I want to change L form to D form for Gromos ff. Does this correct ?

 [ dihedrals ]
;  ai    aj    ak    al   gromos type
-CA -C N CA gd_14 -C N CA C gd_39 N CA CB CG gd_34 N CA C +N gd_40 CA CB CG CD1 gd_34

So I think that I need to make corrections in that gd_n files. But in what exactly and where in manual could I read about that parametrisation ?

It could be cool that in that section such information present :)

    First, identify that there's anything to invert. Look at the #define
    lines for gi_1 and gi_2 and the manual sections for impropers.
    There's nothing associated with any handedness. The impropers for
    chirality prevent inversion, rather than enforcing a particular
    chirality. You can test this yourself. Make a .tpr of an L-amino
    acid and .gro files of each chirality, and then use mdrun -rerun
    Lconfiguration.gro -s Lconfiguration and compare with mdrun -rerun
    Rconfiguration.gro -s Lconfiguration.
