Re: [AMBER] Radii issue with mbondi2 + leaprc.parmCHI_YIL.bsc for RNA

Hi Jason,

It makes no sense to me that changing forcefield from ff10 to
leaprc.parmCHI_YIL.bsc could change some C radii. mbondi2 radii was
specified in tleap for GB run. I don't think mbondi2 has 2.2 A radius for C
and this radius value is not allowed to work with igb=7.
