Dear Amber users/developers,
May I ask how the "cut" functions in PMEMD facility? I have learned that
while running MD using CHARMM, we could specify ctonnb, ctofnb, so that the
switching function is turned on at the distance < ctofnb and > ctonnb in
calculating vdw energy, as well as the shifting is turned on in calculating
electrostatic energy. On the other hand, in Amber, I found we could define
CUT, or vdw_cutoff & es_cutoff when using PMEMD, in which CUT represents the
cutoff value. May I ask if the CUT in PMEMD is the same as ctofnb in CHARMM?
And is there a similar parameter of ctonnb in PMEMD? And if so how is it
defined? The parameter RGBMAX is set to be 25 as default? May I ask if this
is also related to any CHARMM parameter? Finally, may I ask what is the name
of the source code file that contain all these parameters? Thank you very
much!
