L-J mixing rules?

Could someone please explain to me how the non-bonded interaction
parameters are determined? Are the usual mixing rules applied? Here's a
piece of param99.dat from the website:

MOD4 RE
OH 1.7210 0.2104 OPLS
CA 1.9080 0.0860 Spellmeyer

So what are the parameters for an OH-CA interaction? Are the following
true:
sigma = (1.721 + 1.9080)/2
epsilon = (0.2104*0.086)^0.5
non-bonded-energy = epsilon/4*[(r/sigma}^12 - (r/sigma)^6]

Sir

I am using AMBER for my minimization procedures. In that i want to use group input option for my protein structure. (i.e) i want to minimize my protein by constraining backbone only and allowing all the other side chain torsions free.

Please advice me in this regard and provide a sample input of the same.

Thanking you in advance

Raja
