[gmx-users] Adding new residue to the the force field

[ramesh cheerla]

Dear Mark
                I am very thank ful to you for your valuble suggestion. I
have verified my results by changing the sigma and epsilon values in
[atomtypes ] directive of the ffnonbonded.itp . Results were uneffected by
changing these values.
Here i have one another doubt regarding [ pairtypes ] directive, As I am
using buckingham potential for the nonbonded interactions and  have only A,
B & C  values can i use zeros for the sigma and epsilon values in this
directive. What i observed is results will change  by changing the sigma
and epsilon values in this directive.
Please suggest me how can i use correct values for the sigma and epsilon in
[ pairtypes ]  directive.

Thank you in advance.
