Ok,

So since there are no LJ on H in SPC/E, should we eliminate the line the line:
Xe    H      1     1.992e-03   2.775e-06

yes

try it in vacuum first.

to be more consistent???

Hi all, I am doing umbrella sampling on 2 Xenon atoms in a solvated 3 nm box, with the atoms were parameterized according to

Dietmar Paschek, et al. (2004) Temperature dependence of the hydrophobic hydration and interaction of simple solutes: An examination of five popular water models. The Journal of Chemical Physics. 20, 6674-6690. http://scitation.aip.org/getabs/servlet/GetabsServlet?prog=normal&id=JCPSA6000120000014006674000001&idtype=cvips&gifs=yes <http://scitation.aip.org/getabs/servlet/GetabsServlet?prog=normal&id=JCPSA6000120000014006674000001&idtype=cvips&gifs=yes>

Using GROMACS, I applied an umbrella potential to the two atoms moved along a distance of 10 Å with a force constant k = 5000 kJ mol−1 nm−2 for 2 ps time steps for 1500000 steps, total simulation time 3 ns. My resulting PMF has a first minima around 2.5 angstroms, which is at too short a distance to be correct... I feel like some repulsive parameter is either incorrect or left out, but for all my troubleshooting, I cannot find out what it is. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I am providing my topology information below:

*Xe.itp*
;name    at. no.   mass      charge ptype  c6           c12
   Xe    54        131.293   0.000  A      2.815e-02  1.110e-04
#Xenon LJ parameters from sigma = 0.3975 nm and epsilon = 2.9643*10^-24 KJ

./sigeps -c6 2.815e-02 -cn 1.110e-04

c6    =  2.81500e-02, c12    =  1.11000e-04
sigma =      0.39747, epsilon =      1.78474
Van der Waals minimum at 0.446148, V = -1.78474

You're right. How about combination rules? The parameters below are not consistent with SPC/E which has no LJ on H.
