[gmx-users] The Lennard-Jones parameter of Na+?

[Hu Zhongqiao]

Dear all,
 
I find the Lennard-Jones parameter epsilon of Na+ in Gmx is very
different from some references.
 
In gmx, I calculated sigma(Na+)=0.258nm, epsilon(Na+)=0.0617 kJ/mol
 
But many researchers cited a paper by Dang LX [J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1995,
117, 6954-6960] and used parameters as follows sigma(Na+)=0.258nm,
epsilon(Na+)=0.42 kJ/mol.
 
I want to ask where parameter of Na+ in gromos force field comes from?
Is it reasonable?
 
Regards,
