[gmx-users] Non bonded parameters for Xe Xe Interactions

[Arneh Babakhani]

Great thanks, I had no idea such a tool existed. 

Also, if we're doing Xenon in water (spc) simulations, we have to 
parameterize the nonbonded interactions between OW and Xe, and H and Xe, 
right?  That parameterization doesn't already exist, or does it?
