I´m Sorry Professor Case,
I typed GAFF in google and then one of the header resuls was:
Gaff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
linked to:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaff
But there was no reference to General Amber Force Field.
I´ve never edited before anything on wiki but I thought GAFF
should be there:
"This disambiguation page lists articles associated with the same
title. If an internal link led you here, you may wish to change the
link to point directly to the intended article."

So I start adding a reference about it, not very good at the beginning.
Then J Clear, another user with much more experience than me
corrected my first (not very clear) definition. He put instead:

Generalized AMBER Force Field, part of molecular bond simulation software.

I thought shoul be added also a link to the antechamber page
(http://amber.scripps.edu/antechamber/antechamber.html) and to the
authors and the articles cited in
( http://amber.scripps.edu/antechamber/citation.html ), so I added then
12 words:
Antechamber automates the process of parameterizing small
organic molecules by using GAFF (1)
Where Antechamber offers a link to:
http://amber.scripps.edu/antechamber/antechamber.html
and GAFF to:
http://amber.scripps.edu/antechamber/citation.html
what I think should also be interenting for anyone who wants to know
sth about it, or use antechamber.

(1) taken from:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMBER#Antechamber
which is the link that appears in the word [[AMBER]] from J Clear in:

Generalized AMBER Force Field, part of molecular bond simulation software.

So maybe shoul be there just the previous line, maybe:

Generalized AMBER Force Field, part of the AMBER molecular bond
simulation software. Antechamber automates the process of
parameterizing small organic molecules using GAFF.

Or maybe neither of them are the best. Anyone can edit this,
I think GAFF should be cited there and maybe I´m wrong in
my definition so I´m asking.

Thank vou,
Best regards,
JJ
