[gmx-users] Mixed 1-4 scaling factors

[Liel Sapir]

Hi,

I am trying to use the GLYCAM force-field alםng with the standard AMBER
force-field for peptides.
In doing so, there is one major concern - both force-fields use different
1-4 scaling factors.

While AMBER uses  fudgeLJ = 0.83333 and fudgeQQ = 0.5.

the GLYCAM force-field uses - fudgeLJ = 1.0 and fudgeQQ = 1.0 (no effective
scaling).

I have read in the mailing list of ways to solve this. For example, this
thread from 2006:
http://www.mail-archive.com/gmx-users@gromacs.org/msg43687.html

*Does anyone have any alternatives for newer versions of Gromacs? (ie,
using function type 3 for glycam moieties)*

Thanks,
