Hi,

I was wondering if there will be an update with new implemented force fields, such amber19sb, bsc1 and the watermodel opc. Because if I understand it correctly, DNA is parametrized using AMBER94 when using the AMBER99SB force field.

As of now I am using the CHARMMGUI website, but it tends to be slow when doing over 40+ different complexes and I can’t really get the hang of AmberTools22 due to the complexity (DNA,protein and zinc ions complex) and limited information on it.

Warm regards,  
Wout, master student at KU Leuven

Hi,  
For amber force field port for GROMACS

- you can have a look here [http://ffamber.cnsm.csulb.edu/ffamber.php](http://ffamber.cnsm.csulb.edu/ffamber.php)
- you can seach in the third-party category in this forum [Third party tools and files - GROMACS forums](https://gromacs.bioexcel.eu/c/third-party-tools-and-files/8)
- you can look at the old user contribution on [User contributions — GROMACS webpage https://www.gromacs.org documentation](https://www.gromacs.org/user_contributions.html)

Maybe more are available by other users  
I hope it helps.
