Dear sir,
   In AMBER force field, I know the following parameters mean that atom type, Atomic mass and the atomic polarizability respectively. However, why have some atoms not polarizability such as CU,Fe,Rb,Cs,Zn?
   I am setting up NEW parameter for Silica. I have found a paper in which many parameters for silica are calculated for CHARMM force field. (J. Phys. Chem. B 2006, 110, 2782-2792). But I don't find polarizability for Silica. So what should be for Silica's polarizability ?
Which module will the polarizability parameter be used in? I am doing MMGBSA calculation. Whether is polarizability important for MMGBSA?
