Hi MArk,

Thanks for the respond. I understood that point however I still do not get 
which sigma to change.
I the paper JCTC 2017, Miller et. al. they have mentioned that they increase 
the for nitrogen–carboxylate oxygen interactions in OPLSAA.
However there are two sigma in oplsaa.ff/ffnonbonded.itp one for amino notrogen 
and one for carboxylate oxygen.

                                                                               
sigma            epsilon
  opls_287   N3   7  14.00670    -0.300       A    3.25000e-01  7.11280e-01
  opls_272   O2   8  15.99940    -0.800       A    2.96000e-01  8.78640e-01

Which one defines the amino nitrogen–carboxylate oxygen interactions?
Which sigma should I change?


What people are doing more and more is introducing pair-specific parameters to override the combination rule values. That's likely what is being referred to. OPLS-AA by default does not use pair-specific LJ interactions, hence why you find no [nonbond_params] in ffnonbonded.itp. The same is true of AMBER. CHARMM uses some (also called NBFIX in the literature), while GROMOS uses a ton of these.

To override the LJ combination rules, add a [nonbond_params] directive with the published parameters, which refer to an *interaction*, not an atom type.

Hi,

Different force fields work differently and thus are implemented
differently. Look at oplsaa.ff/ffnonbonded.itp and you will see that sigma
is a property of the atomtype

Dear users,

I am trying to change the sigma value of amino nitrogen–carboxylate oxygen
interactions in OPLSAA in GROMACS.
However I have difficulties to understand which parameter i should change
in ffnonbonded.itp file?
I am looking something like [ nonbond_params ] section however it is not
exist in ffnonbonded.itp?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
