Is this true? I thought that the Glycam 04 force field - in contrast to the
earlier Glycam versions - specifically used SCEE = 1.2 and SCNB = 2.0 so
that one could mix sugar and amino acid simulations which earlier could not
be done?
Or perhaps I am confusing things here with 10-12 vs 6-12 VDW terms...
Perhaps Rob Woods could comment some more on how one mixes AMBER amino acid
force fields with the Glycam force fields in a single simulation... If the
different value of SCEE in the two force fields is indeed still an issue
then perhaps we should look to implement this "mixture" in the code... -
Perhaps by just hardwiring the prmtop and do away with scee and scnb as
namelist variables all together??
All the best
