[gmx-users] OPLSAA parameters

I mean in mutation free energy calculations.

for OPLSAA force field we only need to provide the mutated atom types, 
but not need to change the [bonds], [angle] ...etc. in the topology file?
Since in Gromos96, the parameters need to be provided for state B.

thank you
