[gmx-users] User-Specified LJ Epsilon and Sigma

[Maryam Kowsar]

Hi dan
I think that's not possible to change forcefield parameters and use the old
defined forcefield like opls. When you change the parameters in .itp you
should introduce your own forcefield. Try to have all the needed files of
forcefield in a new folder and use that during making topology.
