I was surprised that parameters were also requested for bonds rather
removed from NE2-C9, such as between C10 and its adjacent C11. Besides
that, requests seemed to be endless, for situations with non-obvious
analogies. So that, with a natural-product ligand, covalently bonded to a
protein receptor, running a decent MD may take months of efforts with QM
calculations.
When that arises as a small part of a large project, involving many
ligand-protein cases, one (myself) becomes frustrated. Unless one decides
that each case is a publication, which, unfortunately, is a decision by
many.
Thanks for your view
