Be careful if you are going to change the parameter to zero , because there is a combination rule that defines the usage of C6 and C12. and this combination rule is defined in the *.itp file On Mon, Sep 27, 2010 at 8:34 PM, nishap.pa...@utoronto.ca wrote: How can I do that using OPLSAA, because

Hi Ehud, Did you mean that i can simply specify Sigma and Epsilon? The thing is that i didn't want to obtain a zero potential , but rather maintain the repulsive term of the LJ interaction. What would you specify then, for the C6 and C12 parameters? Amir On Wed, Jul 28, 2010 at 3:00 PM, Ehud

Hi, if you are interested in a particular angle (between a triad of atoms) you can specify it in angle.ndx file (to generate the angles run: mk_angndx -s topol.tpr -n angle.ndx) the -ov flag of g_angle will generate the angle trajectory and the -od flag will generate its distribution cheers On
