When we developed parm99 modeling some small molecules, Prof. Kollman
suggested us to apply 'CM' for non-conjugated sp2 carbon in alkenes. This
is the reason that there are some parameters with "Junmei et al, 1999" in
the comments. Therefore, you may assign the non-conjugated sp2 carbon in
alkenes to "CM" if you use parm99.

AMBER: atom type CM

Hello all-
I'm curious about atom type CM. It is defined as "sp2 C pyrimidines in
pos. 5
& 6" in parm99.dat, but seems to have many parameters that don't apply to
standard nucleic acids. I've heard that there used to be an atom type for
isolated (non-conjugated) double bonds. Is that CM? If so, would CM still
be
appropriate for isolated double bonds or have the parameters been altered
in
order to better suit pyrimidines?
I see that many of the CM parameters have Junmei et al, 1999 in the
comments.
Does this refer to a specific paper? I haven't been able to find one from
1999
with Junmei Wang in the author list that seems to fit the bill. Am I
overlooking something painfully obvious?
Thanks for any insight!
Kristina
