Hello,
I have no problem using the parm6 to run with amber8 (the version of amber
I am using). What I was trying to do, when I ask the question, was to
recover the force field parameters used in the past from the parm6 I had.
I can enter the file and manually look up the values, the only
inconsistency I found was in the value and ordering of the Lennard-Jones A
and B parameters... accordingly I have posed my question to the list since
I can't recall how to go from r and epsilon to A and B (help in this
direction is still needed) and I was hoping to use leap to convert from
one format to the other to see whether the inconsistency would disappear.
I apologize for having been a bit obscure in my original posting and I
hope I made myself clearer now.
Thanks :)
Raffaella.
