[gmx-users] vdwradii.dat - where do the values come from?

[João M. Damas]

Hi there GMX users,

Does anyone know where do the van der waals radii values that are in the
vdwradii.dat come from? I've searched the archives and David said once that
he didn't recall where they were token from. If there is no information
whatsoever of where do they come from and since it would be difficult to
introduce other element's van der waals radii consistent to the current
ones, why keep using them?

Regards,
João
