gmx_ffconv: A Fast, User-Friendly Semi-Automated All-Atom Force Field Converter for GROMACS.
This application note presents gmx_ffconv, a command-line tool developed to facilitate the conversion of systems between all-atom force fields within GROMACS. As different force fields use their own naming conventions and atom ordering, force field conversion within GROMACS is usually a time-consuming, error-prone process. gmx_ffconv resolves atom ordering and naming mismatches between different force fields by reordering the coordinate file via molecular graph matching. This enables the use of identical starting coordinates across force fields, facilitating comparative simulations without requiring manual reordering or scripting. The tool has been validated on a broad range of systems, from small, nonstandard ligands to large, solvated heterogeneous systems with more than two million atoms. gmx_ffconv is available on GitHub: github.com/Jassu1998/gmx_ffconv.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling publishes papers reporting new methodology and/or important applications in the fields of chemical informatics and molecular modeling. Specific topics include the representation and computer-based searching of chemical databases, molecular modeling, computer-aided molecular design of new materials, catalysts, or ligands, development of new computational methods or efficient algorithms for chemical software, and biopharmaceutical chemistry including analyses of biological activity and other issues related to drug discovery.
Astute chemists, computer scientists, and information specialists look to this monthly’s insightful research studies, programming innovations, and software reviews to keep current with advances in this integral, multidisciplinary field.
As a subscriber you’ll stay abreast of database search systems, use of graph theory in chemical problems, substructure search systems, pattern recognition and clustering, analysis of chemical and physical data, molecular modeling, graphics and natural language interfaces, bibliometric and citation analysis, and synthesis design and reactions databases.
