Re: force field for replica exchange with NAMD

That is just an (ancient) example simulation. You can do replica exchange
with any force field. Set up, minimize, and equilibrate your system as
usual and then incorporate it into the replica exchange scripts.

I generate a force field with the parameters of bond, angle, dihe, impr and nonbonded directly coming from Charmm27. But I do not know how to put CMAP parameters into this modified force field so it can be read correctly.
> I try to run REMD simulation with the modified force field which misses CMAP part, an error "FATAL ERROR: CAN"T FIND CROSSTERM PARAMETERS FOR C NH1 CT1 C NH1" will quickly comes out. So could anyone with experience of REMD tell me how to add CMAP into the force field for REMD, or how to skip CMAP correction during simulation?
