Hi Charles,
Thanks! I'm using a somewhat older force field (see below. The Lennard-Jones potential is implemented differently. For example S (radius = 1.05 angstroms) sigma is 3.7458 in this setup. After double checking the formula given (sigma*2^(-5/6))I believe is wrong - it should include division by 2 . So for S I get 3.7458(0.561)/2 = 1.05 angstroms. I pretty sure the sigma I should use is 4.635 to approximate r = 1.20 angstroms. Keith ! the non-bonded parameters are approximately the same as ! DISMAN's large radii for repel=0.9, and as DISMAN's small ! radii for repel=0.75. (ECEPP2) ! the epsilon values are generally not used (and should not be) ! with this force field ! the radius is sigma*2^(-5/6) ! ! eps sigma eps(1:4) sigma(1:4) repel: 1.0 0.9 0.8 0.75 ! radii nonbonded C 0.0903 3.3409 0.0903 3.3409 ! 1.875 1.688 1.5 1.406 NONBonded C6R 0.05000 3.6349 0.10000 3.1360 ! added 02/19/10 kc from quanta params NONBonded CA 0.120 3.3409 0.120 3.3409 NONBonded CB 0.145 3.3409 0.145 3.3409 NONBonded CC 0.145 3.3409 0.145 3.3409 NONBonded CN 0.145 3.3409 0.145 3.3409 NONBonded CP 0.1450 3.3409 0.1450 3.3409 NONBonded CR 0.1200 3.3409 0.1200 3.3409 nonbonded CT 0.0903 3.3409 0.0903 3.3409 NONBonded CV 0.1200 3.3409 0.1200 3.3409 NONBonded CW 0.1200 3.3409 0.1200 3.3409 NONBonded CX 0.1450 3.3409 0.1450 3.3409 nonbonded H 0.0498 2.2272 0.0498 2.2272 ! 1.250 1.125 1.0 0.9375 nonbonded HRNE 0.0498 2.2272 0.0498 2.2272 ! 1.250 1.125 1.0 0.9375 nonbonded HA 0.0045 2.2272 0.0045 2.2272 nonbonded HC 0.0498 2.2272 0.0498 2.2272 nonbonded N 0.1592 3.0068 0.1592 3.0068 ! 1.688 1.519 1.350 1.266 NONBonded NA 0.1592 3.0068 0.1592 3.0068 NONBonded NB 0.1592 3.0068 0.1592 3.0068 nonbonded NC2 0.1592 3.0068 0.1592 3.0068 nonbonded NH1 0.1592 3.0068 0.1592 3.0068 nonbonded NH2 0.1592 3.0068 0.1592 3.0068 nonbonded NH3 0.1592 3.0068 0.1592 3.0068 nonbonded O 0.2342 2.7755 0.2342 2.7755 ! 1.558 1.402 1.246 1.168 nonbonded OC 1.0244 2.7755 1.0244 2.7755 nonbonded OH 0.2342 2.7755 0.2342 2.7755 nonbonded S 0.0239 3.7458 0.0239 3.7458 ! 2.102 1.892 1.682 1.577 Keith L.
