The VDW may work, but not differently scaled 1-4 and 1-5 coulomb interactions.

Where is the matter if I have a [ pairs ] directive in the itp file like this :


[ pairs ]
; ai   aj  fu
  1    5   2  0.5 -0.11  0.13 0.30250  0.095865
  1    6   2  0.5 -0.11  0.13 0.30250  0.095865
            .
            .
            .
            .
;this is are nonbonded intramolecular IAs separated by more than theree bonds
 2   5   2   7.569   0.07200   0.02300   0.00000   0.00000
 2   6   2   7.569   0.07200   0.02300   0.00000   0.00000


I think this will work, but setting LJ parameters to zero will cancel
the interaction for these pairs. Is this what you intend to do?

Glad to hear the my help works. Setting the LJ parameters zero for the
should avoid a further contribution of the LJ part from the defined 1-5
IA, since they are already present in the nonbonded part of the
interaction types. Accoring to Chapter 5.3.4 of the manual, the [ pairs ]
directive allows to add further nonbonded energy terms within a molecule.
This is exactly the goal we want to achieve ;)

Cheers,

I did a simple test: I've defined an abstract molecule like this:
X-X-X-X-X
so that 1 and fourth atom are 0.4 nm apart, and 1 and fifth atom
are 0.5 nm apart. I've set all bonded and non-bonded interactions to
zero, Nexcl=3, gen-pairs=yes, fudgeQQ=1.0, fugdeLJ=1.0.

Then I have defined [pairs] like this:

[ pairs ]
   1     4     2   1.0   0.1  0.0215927   0.325052    0.25
   1     5     2   1.0   0.1  0.0287903   0.433402    0.25

charges, sigma and epsilon are chosen in such a way that each
interaction should contribute exactly 1 kJ/mol. Indeed, the potential
energy calculated by GROMACS is 4 kJ/mol.

Now, changing the pairs to:
[ pairs ]
   1     4     2   0.5   0.1  0.0215927   0.325052    0.25
   1     5     2   0.8   0.1  0.0287903   0.433402    0.25

I get the potential energy of 3.3 kJ/mol, which means that coulomb14
whas rescaled from 1 to 0.5 and coulomb15 was rescaled from 1 to 0.8.
This is exaclty what I was looking for.

Thanks for all the comments,
Borys
