Hi gromacs users,
In my nafion sidechain, I have -CF2-SO3H. In this molecule, S atom has 2 double
bonds with 2 O, 1 single bond with another O, and i single bond with C (total 6
bonds). When I do energy minimization in vacuum, I got two F atoms nonbonded to
my C atom. I think, gromacs generate triple bonds between C and S and 3 single
bonds between S and 3 O atoms.
I added these commands in specbond.dat to resolve the issue
NAF S 6 NAF O4 2 0.3 NAF NAF
NAF S 6 NAF O5 2 0.3 NAF NAF
But, it didn't solve my problem.
Any suggestion for solving this problem?
There is no distinction between a single, double, or triple bond in an MM force
field, and Gromacs certainly doesn't change anything about the bonds. If your
desired geometry isn't being preserved, choose or derive better bonded
parameters. Also note that bonds will not break; visualization software often
guesses bonds incorrectly. What you see is not definitive. What is written in
the topology is.
