Dear Gromacs users,

I am planing to use buckingham potential for the non-bonded interactions of my system. I know that by changing the nbfunc to 2 in [ defaults ] directive of topology will allow to use the Buckingham potential , But I don't know how to specify the A, B,C values in the ffnonbonded.itp file.

With [ nonbond_params], not [atomtypes] or [pairtypes]. See table 5.4 of section 5.7.1 of manual.

Mark

what values should I specify in the [ atomtypes ] directive . As i know only A,B,C values for the pairs of atoms so i have tried by specifying A,B,C values both in [ atomtypes ] and [ pairtypes ] as

[ atomtypes ]
;name at.num mass charge ptype A B C CC32A 6 12.01100 0.1030 A 132277.5784 33.05785124 0.002710395 HCA2 1 1.00800 0.0355 A 29962.4608 41.58004158 0.000212547 OC30A 8 15.999400 -0.3480 A 243922.5976 40.2414486921 0.000803746

;########### I have given the A(in KJ/mol), B(in nm^-1), C(in Kj/mol*nm^6)
;D = A, B = 1/P, C = E


Doing so , grompp is showing the following errors

   ERROR 5 [file ffnonbondedpeo.itp, line 13]:
  Too many parameters or not enough parameters for topology B


ERROR 6 [file ffnonbondedpeo.itp, line 14]:
  Too many parameters or not enough parameters for topology B

Generated 6 of the 6 non-bonded parameter combinations
Excluding 3 bonded neighbours molecule type 'polymer'

ERROR 7 [file topol.top, line 1652]:
  ERROR: The cut-off length is longer than half the shortest box vector or
  longer than the smallest box diagonal element. Increase the box size or

Program grompp, VERSION 4.5.5

Any help will be highly appreciated.
