Dear Dr. Cuebas,

Thanks for this reply. I will take a look at Cheatham's JPCB 2008 paper.
What can I do if I dont have amber10? Is there a way to get ions08.lib and
frcmod.ionsjb_XXXXXX? Are they compatible with amber9?
Still I wonder how the Lennard-Jones-Acoef and Lennard-Jones-Bcoef are
calculated. Many thanks for clarification.
