GROMOS11 version 1.2.0 (September 2012)

New functionalities:

  • QM/MM interface [1]
  • Twin-system EDS [2]
  • New replica-exchange implementation for MPI

New force-field files:

  • 54A8 [3], 56A6@CARBO [4]
  • New cofactor files 54c7_cof.mtb, 54d7_cof.mtb, 54c8_cof.mtb: Charge distributions for cofactors in the C(D) parameter sets are updated from the 43A(B)1 charge distributions according to analogy with charge distributions in similar functional groups in the corresponding A(B) parameter set. E.g. an OH-group in a cofactor in 54A(B)7 has the original 43A(B)1 charge distribution, while an OH-group in a cofactor in 54C(D)7 has a similar charge distribution as an OH-group in the peptide parameters of the 54A(B)7 parameter set. These files were not specifically tested.

Functions no longer supported:

  • The GROMOS96COMPAT block was removed. To allow the reproduction of results that have been obtained using the GROMOS96COMPAT block, i.e. without contributions from excluded 1-2, 1-3 and self-interaction terms to the energy [5], a new switch (NSLFEXCL) has been introduced in the NON BONDED block. However, we strongly recommend to use the default reaction field formalism [6] (NSLFEXCL=1) that includes the 1-2, 1-3 and self-intera ction terms.
  • The multi-graining program was removed. The new GROMOS version allows for three coarse graining options: 1) MARTINI CG, 2) pure GROMOS CG [7], 3) mixed GROMOS CG/FG [8].
