[gmx-users] non-bonding parameters

[Gavin Melaugh]

Hi all

I need some clarification on a few matters please. I have always used topology files (for one molecule) with the following format (below with values excluded). 
Does the format below enable LJ energies to be calculated?
Does it enable 1,4 interactions to be calculated? (In reference to gen-pair = yes.) Do I need a pair list or the following directives [nonbond_params] and [pairtypes]. I have always assumed that all LJ interactions both bonded 1,4 and non-bonded would be calculated from the parameters in the atomtypes directive using the corresponding comb rule.


Many Thanks 

Gavin
