<div>Hi Berk and all,</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>one more question:</div>
<div>When dealing with dummy atoms in mutations using oplsaa FF, we cannot simply&nbsp; mutate the atomtype but still need to&nbsp;find and provide exact parameters for the bonds, angles, etc. (ohterwise, there is error &quot; No default bond types&quot;) </div>

<div>AM I right?</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Or there is some automatic way in gromacs?</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>thanks a lot</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Li Qiang<br><br></div>

&gt; &gt; &gt; explicitly. That would be helpful for mutation calculations at least, I<br>&gt; &gt; &gt; think.<br>&gt; &gt; &gt;<br>&gt; &gt; &gt;<br>&gt; &gt; &gt;<br>&gt; &gt; &gt;<br>&gt; &gt; &gt; Mark Abraham wrote:<br>

&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;<br>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;&gt; So we still need to look up ffoplsaanb.itp to link these two &quot;atom<br>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;&gt; type&quot; (or &quot;name&quot;), right?<br>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;<br>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; OK, whatever... as I said, different force fields have different<br>
