Hi Mark.

Haven't got exactly what you said. So let me rephrase myself:

The CF4 molecule doesn't have dihedrals nor intramolecular LJ and coulombic
contributions.

What kind of contribution am I missing that makes potential energy minus
bond stretching minus angle bending *different* from Lj + coulomb(SR) +
coulomb (LR) + Disp correction?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Sincerally yours,

Jones

Dunno since we can't read your mind about the sort of calculation you
did... What does your logfile have?

It's the reciprocal space sum of the Ewald method you're using. It sounds
like you should read the section in chapter 4(?) of the manual that
describes this. The reason it's large is that it has (roughly) all the
long-range contributions from all of the atoms, and I don't think these
can be sensibly broken down into by-atom components.

So if you're interested in determining intermolecular energies, for some
reason, you should design a simulation protocol that has a chance of doing
this. In a GROMACS context, that probably means GRF electrostatics.

Mark
