Re: [AMBER] why the 1-4 electric and vdw scaling factor are 0.0 in my .prmtop file?

Dear Hannes,

I'm sorry for urging an answer in this community.
I set up the trp-cage protein in Amber 12 using the same method with
tutorail 3 except a ff99SB FF instead of ff99 FF. Then I got the
topological and coordinate files and in the top file, I found three of 37
SCEE and SCNB values are 0.0. I considered to use DL_FIELD to do the FF
conversion, but I found DL_FIELD just can deal with the Amber ff03 force
field. So I decided to write a code.

Best!

Dongshan
