Dear all,

I have to parametrize As(OH)3 for simulation using gromacs. I have already 
optimized the molecule using Gaussian and calculated ESP charge fitting. 
However, I have no idea to generate the .gro and corresponding topology file 
for this non-standard molecule. Can anyone suggest me tool that can parametrize 
the molecule according to gromacs library. I have already tried on Automated 
topology builder (ATB) server, PRODRG server and antechamber, but every time 
job failed to generate parameters and coordinate file. Using antechamber, 
however, I successfully generated corresponding .gro file, but molecule has 
absolutely different geometry from original one. I deeply appreciate any 
suggestion.

Replace the As atom by P, and then feed it to antechamber (acpype) to make a topology and coordinate file. Then edit the topology to replace the P by As again, and modify the parameters such that the bond lengths and angles match the ones you get from QM. Are you sure this is a stable molecule by the way? I would expect it to loose at least one proton in solution.
