Dear GMX usesr,

I have to do charge fitting for a small molecule like ethanol.
I have applied PRODRG to generate .gro and .itp for ethanol but it has
wrong atomic charge.
To correct it I have to use gromos 43a1 force field parameters to assign
charges on each atom (Is it right?)

Check this paper for gromos96 compatible stuff:
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ct200196m

For OPLS/GAFF please check

I have red a paper ( Practical Considerations for Building
GROMOS-Compatible Small-Molecule Topologies
Justin A. Lemkul, William J. Allen, and David R. Bevan*) about this
issue. In this paper they assign these value to each atom:

H3C     0.000
CH2     0.150
O        -0.548
H         0.398

My question is:
In a gromos 43a1 force field and in .rtp file for CH3 in ALA and TMP:

[ ALA ]
  [ atoms ]
     N     N    -0.28000     0
     H     H     0.28000     0
_*CA   CH1     0.00000     1
    CB   CH3     0.00000     1*_
     C     C       0.380     2
     O     O      -0.380     2

[ TMP ]
  [ atoms ]
    N1    NR    -0.36000     0
    C2     C     0.36000     0
   NA2    NT    -0.83000     1
.
.
.
_* CM13   CH3     0.18000     6*_
   C15     C     0.18000     7
   O15    OA    -0.36000     7
*_ CM15   CH3     0.18000     7_*
   C14     C     0.18000     8
   O14    OA    -0.36000     8
*_ CM14   CH3     0.18000     8_*

and for atom O I have same problem:

[ ADE ]
  [ atoms ]
     P     P     0.99000     0
   O1P    OM    -0.63500     0
   O2P    OM    -0.63500     0
*_O5*    OA    -0.36000     0_*
   C5*   CH2     0.00000     1.
.
.

*_O2*    OA    -0.54800     8_*
   H2*     H     0.39800     8
   C3*   CH1       0.000     9
*_O3*    OA      -0.360    10_*

So I am confused which one of these charges must be considered as a
correct charge when I dont have a reference like mentioned paper?

Thanks in advance.
P.Haghighi
