[gmx-developers] Gromos96 43a2 1-4 parameters

Hi, developers:
	When I read the article from Lukas about G96 43a2 FF, I think
the parameters governing dihedral angle in aliphatic chain were
reconsidered. I only found he changed the parameters on one dihedral
and on 1-4 interactions involved CH2 and CH3. Is my understanding
correct? If so, however, the ffG43a2nb.itp file in gmx3.0 and gmx3.1
had changed not only for CH2-CH2, CH2-CH3 and CH3-CH3 but also
the 1-4 LJ in [ pairtypes ] between CH2, CH3 and other atomtypes.
Did these changes have influence in simulation compared to the old values
or any people had check it since Lukas didn't do parameterzation
between CH2 and N or other polar atomtypes in his paper?
	Maybe I misunderstood something and I just want to make sure.
Thanks a lot in advance!


Best

Hao
