Re: [AMBER] Where are the parameters for the SCREEN RADII section in prmtop

I have my own prmtop write to create an input forcefield to pmemd. I could find all the necessary information to parameterize the protein / ligand from the forcefield files provided in the dat folder of the amber installation. The only section I can’t write is the RADII and SCREEN section to fully support all GB modes. I would like to know where tleap looks to write this section. Where do these numbers come from? Which parameter files are read to fill the section with the appropriate values for the corresponding atom types. We cannot depend on the amber tools and hence are trying to write a fully compliant prmtop file.

 In the source code you gave me I couldn’t find any SCREEN value 0.79, 0.72 or 0.85. So I am still puzzled how tleap gets these exact numbers.
