Dear Carlos,

Thanks for your response. The reason why I asked the question is to see
where and how the e&s interaction is used. I thought that the e&s energy
included all the e&s interactions; 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, etc... But I think that
this is not the case in AMBER force field. The 1-2, 1-3 e&s interactions
are incorporated in the bond and angle terms.

So, in reality, the meaning of e&s interaction in AMBER force field is
including the 1-4, 1-5, 1-6, etc. interactions and the e&s intermolecular
interactions, is that right?

Best,
