the version of Ambertools that are used in the command "Write prmtop"?

Dear Chimera's users, I built amber's .inpcrd and prmtop files using command write prmtop from Tools/Amber/Write Prmtop. I used Chimera 1.15 (build 42334), but how could I figure out what version of AmberTools is incorporated in this Chimera release? Best regards, Victor

Hi Victor, Most of Chimera uses AmberTools18 (e.g. minimization; charge addition), but specifically the tools in the Tools→Amber menu use functionality provided by sleap, which is not distributed with current versions of AmberTools. Those tools use AmberTools 1.5, which was released in 2011. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab

Dear Eric, Thank you for your help. Maybe you know how to build *.prmtop file of substance namely in the GAFF force field, using Chimera's tools? Best regards, Victor вт, 26 окт. 2021 г. в 20:14, Eric Pettersen <pett@cgl.ucsf.edu>:

Hi Victor, I'm not sure I understand the question. The Write Prmtop tool will write a .prmtop file using GAFF types if necessary. That prmtop file uses a somewhat older version of the prmtop format, but most tools will still read it. --Eric

Hello, Eric, Sorry for the delay with response. But when I chose the Tools>Amder>Write Prmtop> in the menu Select force field type I only can select 6 force fields, and GAFF could not be chosen. Could you please direct where in the Chimera menu I can select the option to build a GAFF force field using the menu "Write Prmtop"?

Hi Victor, Chimera will use GAFF types for non-standard residues in all those forcefields, and regular AMBER types for standard residues. There is no option to use GAFF types for all residues. --Eric
