[gmx-users] A simple question
Hi, everyone. I am running gromacs, using force field G43a2. I just want to make sure that, does the gromacs uses periodic boundary condition in my simulation? Well, anyhow, where could I find a place to know what kind of boundary condition the gromacs uses? Thanks ahead.

[gmx-users] best parameters for energy determination with GBSA
Dear GROMACS users, I try to compute energies of a small peptide-domain complex and of its constituents using implicit solvent, so that I can get the binding Delta E. I need the accuracy to be high enough so that I can reliably measure the Delta Delta E between the wildtype peptide and a mutation of it. I would like to get advice as to the best setting and parameters to use; are the ones given below the correct and best ones (most in an mdp file, some run control parameters of GROMACS commands)? Are other defaults in need to be changed? As the GBSA method necessitates using the inexact cut-off interactions, and my system is rather small, I consider using no cut-off at all, i.e. an all-vs.-all approach. For that I understand the parameters should be nstlist=0 ns_type=simple -pd ; in mdrun coulombtype=cut-off rcoulomb=0 vdwtype=cut-off rvdw=0 rlist=0 Then, there are the implicit solvent parameters themselves: implicit_solvent=GBSA gb_algorithm= Still sa_algorithm=Ace-approximation rgbradii=0 Finally, regarding the simulation box, I see no need for periodic boundary conditions, and I pick some big margin around the system (as there are no water molecules, no need to spare): pbc=no -d 5.0 ; in editconf What do you say?

Re: [gmx-users] best parameters for energy determination with GBSA
Hi Ehud! Your settings are correct.

[gmx-users] SwissParam
Dear Gromacs users, This is an announcement for SwissParam, a web service that provides topologies and parameters for small organic molecules, compatible with the CHARMM all atoms force field, for use with the CHARMM or GROMACS softwares: http://swissparam.ch/ The server is fully automatic, and the user only needs to provide the organic molecule of interest in the mol2 format. Topology and parameter files are sent back by e-mail, generally within minutes. For GROMACS users, an itp file is generated for the small molecule, which must be included to the protein or DNA topology produced by GROMACS. A tutorial page explains step by step how to set up a protein-ligand system. Force field parameters are derived from the Merck Molecular ForceField (MMFF). Dihedral angle terms are taken as is, while only the harmonic part of the bond, angle and improper terms are retained (the quartic part is discarded). Charges are taken from MMFF. Van der Waals parameters are taken from the closest atom type in CHARMM22. The service is intended for fast and easy force field generation. The parameters have been tested in "drug design" type of calculations, like docking, minimizations, rapid binding energy estimation (LIECE, MMGB/SA), etc... Deeper parameterizations are probably required for applications in which a finer description of the molecule is required, (e.g. normal mode calculations, ...). SwissParam results can then be used as a starting point for such a procedure. Enjoy SwissParam, and please notify us of any question or suggestion for improvement. Try SwissParam now !!
