German, I thank you very much for you answer. However, I am still confused. I made a small topology file containg only Na+ and Cl- to make sure I understood the parameters before I started working with the large topology file I have for my protein. I used rdparm to pull the LJ parameters out of the topology file and here is what I got:
RDPARM MENU: printLennardJones
Lennard-Jones
Types A C
IP IP 20481.52 15.06
IP IM 739119.15 221.82
IM IM 21121433.30 2906.64
I am having trouble understanding how those numbers are calculated from the sigma and epsilon values given in the parm94 file. Am I missing something? Are the units different or something like that?
Thank you,
