RE: Included Topology (.itp) in gromacs to parameter file for NAMD

Hi Ivan,

How is this fed into GROMACS? Is the .xvg fed in during the generation of the .top file, or is it a parameter to mdrun? NAMD should be able to read in a GROMACS .top file (see http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/2.12/ug/node14.html) if it is the first option, with the caveat that NAMD doesn't parse "#include" statements in a .top file, but not if it is the second.

Thank you very much for all the work you do and keeping the NAMD project alive.
I've recently seen an article about a customized force field for GROMACS with an .itp extension and a .xvg tabulated table for the dihedral interactions. I would like to convert that to use it on NAMD and continue to make accurate simulations using NAMD, so it has to have AMBER or CHARMM format I guess.
I've searched the internet and on this site I found this:
"... the Gromacs force field uses a different type of function
(for proper and improper dihedrals) than the Charmm force field. Gromacs
appears to use harmonic and periodic functions while Charmm uses modified
Fourier series. "

How can I solve this? Any idea? Is this even possible to do?
Thank you in advance,
Ivan
