This is interesting. In general, where can you find optimal mdp settings for
each force field?


By reading the primary literature for how each force field was derived. The parameters are only guaranteed to work within the context of correct cutoffs, electrostatic schemes, neighborlist update interval, water model used, etc. Some older force fields have been demonstrated to work well with PME even if originally derived with RF or some other method, but generally the other settings must adhere to the original parameterization. Some force fields can be very sensitive to these incorrect settings.
