Dear all, My molecule contains -CH=CH- fragment and I am trying to create the topology using Charmm FF. It seems that there is no improper dihedrals for -CH=CH- fragment in Charmm FF, while other FF (e.g., Amber or OPLS) has additional improper dihedrals terms for that fragment. Could anybody

Hi, I have got confused with setting up improper dihedrals in the gromacs topologies. In the manual (ver. 4.0) I see the section named [ impropers ] (page 104) " [ impropers ] C O1 O2 CA " but in the example system of the peptide (share/gromacs/tutor/speptide) one finds defining impropers using t

Hi, If you turn all bonds to constraints, and your system is infinitely periodic, you probably don't even need impropers. The bond lengths can only be satisfied in the plane. Adding impropers, straining your molecule further into the configuration you think is proper, adds forces that inevitable c

Dear gmx-users, I am confused about the exact formula for improper OPLS dihedrals in gromacs. Is it periodic, e.g. V[1-cos(2x)], or harmonic, e.g. [V*(x-x0)^2]? In ffoplsaa.rtp, it says in the Col 4 in the following the type of improper dihedrals to be 1, which I believe is a harmonic function. T
