Hi Gonçalo

If you do not find the parameters for vanadium, you could try to develop them using experimental physical chemistry properties of the ion and MD simulations. In the following reference you can find a suitable method to develop them that worked for me in the development of Pb and Cd ion parameters:

Alexandre S. de Araujo,*,† Milton T. Sonoda,† Oscar E. Piro,‡ and Eduardo E. Castellano, "Development of New Cd2+ and Pb2+ Lennard-Jones Parameters for Liquid Simulations", J. Phys. Chem. B 2007, 111, 2219-2224

Cheers

Dear gmx'ers,

Does anyone know of any (published or not) non-bonded parameters for
vanadium species for any of the forcefields implemented in GROMACS ?

If not, my question is: what is the meaning of the null values for
sigma and epsilon in, e.g., amber03, for Fe:

FE          26      55.00    0.0000  A   0.00000e+00  0.00000e+00
[from the ffnonbonded.itp file]

Thks for any help,
Gonçalo
