[gmx-users] TIP5P and cg minimization

Thanks Mark for the pointer. 

The TIP5P.itp has [settles] only, whereas TIP4P.itp (as well as spc.itp, and TIP3P) has parameters for flexible water [FLEXIBLE] as well as rigid [settles]. This, by definition would restrict any systems using TIP5P to the SHAKE algorithm. I am wondering:
1) are there other TIP5P.itp files that possibly include the FLEXIBLE parameters (force constants for bonds and angles)?
2) for my present TIP5P.itp, is this going to impact the MD run?

I've copied and pasted my TIP5P.itp and TIP4P.itp files that I have below. Thank you very much.
