[gmx-users] mdp file

[Sotirios Dionysios I. Papadatos]

Thanks for your quick reply. Up till now all the simulations I have performed are with the OPLS force field, because the software I used in the past supported only that in the academic version. 
Anyway, to sum it up for non bonded from the literature about a particular force field and try some tutorials. Got it.
Thank you so much

Try some tutorials.

Most settings (output, thermostats, etc) are pretty boilerplate.  The nonbonded
setup (cutoffs) depend on the force field, which you will learn about by reading
the primary literature for the force field you've chosen for your work.  Because
you've scrutinized the literature and know about why you've chosen that
particular force field, right?
