[gmx-developers] force field files for amber ff03* and ff99sb* for new release

[Robert Best]

Since the Amber force fields will be part of the new release of gromacs
(4.5), I'd like to suggest including the modifications which I've made
(ff03-star, ff99sb-star). These have now been the subject of three
publications (see below), and seem to offer significant improvements in
folding proteins from different structural classes. Could you let me know 
whether/how I can contribute these?

Regards

Robert Best
