| Name | topolbuild1_2 |
| Description | Topolbuild 1.2 Reads a Tripos .mol2 file with charges to generate something approximating gromacs .gro, .top, and .itp files from it based on selected force field parameters. Now includes some support for united atom force fields. Includes tables to support amber, gaff, glycam, and gmx type force fields. Requires that the .mol2 file have syntactically correct Tripos atom types and absolutely will not work with other input atom types. Includes capability of pruning dihedral angles to a possibly more reasonable set.
Special Processing Used for Gromacs Force Fields Gromacs force fields have a limited set of atom types that are used in multiple chemical environments. This works quite well when one can use a residue types file to generate a topology. This presents problems when the goal is to determine the topology of an arbitrary molecule for which residue type information does not exist. Therefore, conversion to gromacs force fields requires double determination of atom types. A first determination of atom types is performed with a rich set of atom types derived from a combination of the gaff and amber atom type definitions. This assignment is used to determine force constants, bond lengths, angles, dihedral angles, and improper angles. A second determination of atom types is performed to assign the true gromacs atom types to match the atom types in the appropriate ffG####nb.itp from the gromacs distribution. A major problem of this double conversion is that for something found in a residue type file, topolbuild does not always select the exact same parameters as are found in the residue type file’s parameterization. However, tests so far give the same parameterization better than 95% of the time. |
