Hello,

I have a question about how gromacs assigns VDW radii for ions. I checked the vdwradii.dat file but it does not mention any ions, so where do the parameters for ions come from? I got the .pqr file for sodium and I got the atomic radii of 1.6652A, I am not sure where that value came from.

Neither can anyone else unless you provide the command you gave that produced this result as well as the force field you're using. Presumably you generated your .pqr file with editconf? In that case, have a look at the code starting around line 587 (in the 4.0.7 source) for the decision structure that dictates how the value of "vdw" is assigned.

I would really appreciate some help!

Thanks.
