    You should choose a force field based on the likelihood of being
    able to successfully make your observations. You want one that has a
    record of useful performance on similar systems, for which you can
    develop reasonably reliable parameters readily, test them suitably,
    and run simulations smoothly. Don't presuppose the form of the
    solution.<br>

              Ok<br>
              then,I can use &nbsp;PRODRG server to generate .top and .gro

              since it's reported charges are not very accurate ,we can

              then,we must generate .top and .gro files for our protein

          That sounds like a reasonable approach. &nbsp;Be sure to validate
          the drug topology. &nbsp;In my experience, this procedure is pretty
          good, but you always have to convince reviewers...<br>

                &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Dear Justin<br>
                <br>
                &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I read your articles about PRODRG server,they
                were very useful.<br>
                &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;But I have a question:<br>
                &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;are charges of functional groups and generally
                other atom groups<br>
                &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;the same in all force fields?<br>
                &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Because you have modified charges of your
                molecules by Gromos96<br>
                &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;53A6 while prodrg server is generating topology
                files in 43A1.<br>
                &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I want to know can I replace charges from gromos
                53A6 or other<br>
                &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;forcefields?<br>
                &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;thanks in advance<br>
                <br>
                <br>
                &nbsp; &nbsp;Charges are not the same between force fields. &nbsp;We
                did our study<br>
                &nbsp; &nbsp;with 43A1 since that is what PRODRG purports to
                produce. &nbsp;I would<br>
                &nbsp; &nbsp;say that our recommendations carry to other Gromos
                force fields, as<br>
                &nbsp; &nbsp;well, but don't take charges from 43A1 and apply them
                to 53A6. &nbsp;Be<br>
                &nbsp; &nbsp;consistent within the force field.<br>
                <br>
                &nbsp; &nbsp;The atom types produced by PRODRG are largely shared
                between 43A1<br>
                &nbsp; &nbsp;and 53A6, so if you *completely* replace all charges
                with those from<br>
                &nbsp; &nbsp;53A6, you should have a topology that is compatible
                with 53A6.<br>
