[gmx-users] Fwd: shift the LJ potential

[Faezeh Pousaneh]

Thank you Wes and Mark,

Wes, that is what I am trying to do. However, still have problem.
I do not know how to derive sigma, epsilon (or C6 and C12) for my particle?
How the force fields have obtained C6 and C12 values in their .itp files
for each atom?


Best regards
