Are CGenFF parameters (from ParamChem) for peptide analogues good enough to couple with Charmm36 parameters for the lipids in a membrane?

02 February 2015 1 8K Report

I need a suggestion related to simulation of peptide-membrane system. I've got tentative CGenFF parameters for the peptide analogues from ParamChem with charge and param penalties 35 and 53 respectively. Shall I go ahead in doing some basic validation of these parameters and then simulate my membrane-peptide system?

Lionel Nauton

the score of 53 is bad, but you need to understand why, you makes peptides analogues, so difference is on the side chain ( terbutyl for valine for example) or on the backbone ( like peptoids) can you give more informations.
