Dear Amber Users,

I am running simulations where I'm varying the LJ potentials between specified (DM) residues. I'm doing this by altering the NONB parameter of the frcmod input files. This consequently changes the prmtop files generated in LEaP. Can someone explain how the values are generated in the prmtop examples below as a consequence of the changes I'm making in the frcmod files.
Many thanks in advance:
Mike
