Dear Nick,

There is no need for back converting AMBER to GROMACS, you can simple use the command "printLJMatrix" to retrieve the pair list interactions directly from the prmtop.

Be aware that there are some limitations regarding format conversions by ParmEd. Jason Swails (the principal developer) is the right person to answer that... In any case, I suggest you to carefully read the manual.

Best,

Matías

Great thank you, that was exactly what I was looking for!

How should I use parmed to check the parameters?
I imagined that I would use parmed to convert the parameters that I
manually created to a gromacs top file and then compare them with the
original itp file. I did that and thankfully everything seems to be
matching with what was converted. However, it didn't seem like the LJEDIT
parameters were converted back to [nonbond_params]. Is the LJEDIT
conversion not implemented because it is a much less used feature, or did I
miss an option when I was converting it? Thank you again!
