    Thank you Justin for your response


I have tried g_sigeps with the OM type LJ values (sigma (nm) = 0.3137 and epsilon (kj/mol) = 1.2231 given in Poger et al. Paper (JCC Vol 31, 6, 1117) as an example. Unfortunately i can't retrieve the C6 and C12 values given for the same in the GROMOS53A6 ffnonbonded.itp. I used the following command


I cannot explain this discrepancy. Going back to the actual 53A6 source (Oostenbrink et al. JCC 2004: 25: 1656-1676), the parameters in ffnonbonded.itp are correct with respect to the original force field. The fact that Poger et al. claim the parameters are the same does not make sense to me. You may wish to contact the authors of that paper directly if you have questions about reproducing their results. I also find it curious that they list their values in sigma/epsilon rather than the conventional C6/C12 used by Gromos96 force fields.

g_sigeps_mpi -sig 0.3137 -eps 1.2231 and obtained the output

c6    =  4.66239e-03, c12    =  4.44320e-06
sigma =      0.31370, epsilon =      1.22310
Van der Waals minimum at 0.352116, V = -1.2231

Fit of Lennard Jones (12-6) to Buckingham:
A = 199065, B = 34.0796, C = 0.00466239

Back Off! I just backed up potje.xvg to ./#potje.xvg.8#

Did I miss something ?

Thank you again for your help

    g_sigeps can do this for you.  Otherwise, you can convert between
    the two common
    forms of the Lennard-Jones equation.
