[AMBER] Lennard Jones 12-6-4 with Multiple Ion Types

I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but there may be an issue with the use of the 12-6-4 terms with multiple ion types.


When I try to add the C4 term for multiple ions, the term for the first ion seems to be overwritten when I add the second.


My parmed input:

parm en.prmtop
setOverwrite True
add12_6_4 .%Ni2+
printljmatrix :1
add12_6_4 .%Cl-
printljmatrix :1
outparm en.prmtop

and the relevant portions of the Lennard Jones matrix (for the first and second print steps):

I apologize if that is hard to read.

The important part is the third column (which includes the r^-4 coefficient).

For Nickel ions, the C4 coefficient is added properly to all interactions in the first step.

In the second step, it is added to all chlorine ions, BUT the Nickel C4 coefficients are overwritten with zeroes.

Is there a way to add the C4 term to all relevant ions?

If I am wrong (which I would love to be) and there is something I missed, please let me know.

Thanks,
Anthony Seitz
