As I understand things, pairs for special 1-4 interactions are not used 
with Buckingham interactions.

Looking closer at your original post, you claim to be adding a residue 
using Buckingham to an existing force field. No force fields distributed 
with GROMACS use Buckingham, so if you're trying to make both LJ and 
Buckingham work in the same simulation, you will be unable to succeed.
