Minimization in PRODRG to get input files for hydrocarbon molecules ?
And If I choose Full charges : YES , I will get the files that include
charge info. Can I erase the charge info and write the charge info I
got from Gaussian ( net charge is zero ) according to the order of
atoms that I paste to the PRODRG screen ? Could you give me some
advices about this ?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance<br>

Each force field has its own .rtp, so no, you cannot use the same .rtp file with different force fields. Make a local copy (in your working directory) if you choose to modify your .rtp files; if you are unsure of what you are doing you can seriously screw things up.<br><br>PRODRG produces Gromos-compatible force fields, not OPLS; this is answered in the FAQ at the PRODRG
site.<br><br>I reiterate: read the manual, be comfortable with how the file types are used, then proceed.<br><br>-Justin<br><br>> --- On *Wed, 3/11/09, Justin A.
