[gmx-users] ffoplsaa and sigma/epsilon values

[Derrick Guang Yuh Lee]

dear dr. warren

from what i have looked at on the gromacs search engine, it appears i can
calculate appropriate sigma/epsilon values for the ffoplsaa forcefield
additions by using the c6 and c12 values and rearranging equation 5.1 (p90
- g3.1.1 manual). if this is correct, than would it be possible to
calculate the sigma/epsilon values by using the ffgmx's c6/c12 values?
many thanks for the help.

sincerely

 - derrick
