A patch to change vdwradii.dat to radii preferable for genbox and other bump-checking uses can be found under http://cesario.rutgers.edu/easmith/research/patches/. They are largely taken from reduce (by the Richardsons)'s explRad. It doesn't include phosphorus, since I was working purely with proteins when I created it, but it should not be difficult to add it; below is a copy of the relevant section from reduce's sourcecode (in ElementInfo.C, version 3.03.061020). -Allen // For non-metals, explicit VDW radii from // Gavezzotti, J.
