<div dir="ltr">Hello,<div><br></div><div>Does that mean the MM radii are the same for all MM_KIND's for the same element? I'm concerned because based on JCTC 1, 1176 (2005), it seems that the appropriate radius can vary somewhat substantially for the same element in different bonding environments. That paper lists 1.2 A (for O) and 0.44 A (for H) as the appropriate radii for water (which add up to substantially more than the OH bond length). Meanwhile, a table of covalent radii (e.g. from the Cambridge Structural Database, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covalent_radius) lists 0.66 A for O and 0.31 A for H, almost a factor of 2 different for O. Moreover, the radii ought to vary for different bonding environments. Although JCP 116, 6941 (2002) indicates that there is some tolerance for a range of values, it is certainly possible to mess up the calculation by using bad values.</div><div><br></div><div>The best I can think to do now is use 1.2 A and 0.44 A for water, and use values from the Cambridge Structural Database for all the protein atoms. Is that reasonable? I feel this is probably not that big a deal, but I'm new to QM/MM and am trying to ensure I don't make an error that will be difficult to control for.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Josh</div><div><br></div><div>On Wednesday, March 25, 2015 at 10:48:44 AM UTC-5, Teo wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0;margin-left: 0.8ex;border-left: 1px #ccc solid;padding-left: 1ex;"><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div>MM radii are just covalent radii (it’s very well explained in few papers).</div><div>Find a table with covalent radii and you’ll have solved your problem (that’s what the mentioned script was doing)...</div><div><br></div><div>Teo</div><div><br></div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div>On 25 Mar 2015, at 15:29, Joshua Carr <<a href="javascript:" target="_blank" gdf-obfuscated-mailto="s3IVn9qJM9kJ" rel="nofollow" onmousedown="this.href='javascript:';return true;" onclick="this.href='javascript:';return true;">jken...@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br><div><div dir="ltr">I am having the same problem!
