No it's ok. I think I might not have the CMAP cross terms. Please see my
previous posts. I am actually using C31, but within C31 I am using top_all27
which does not seem to have the CMAP crossterms. I am not even sure what
CMAP stands for. :) I will have to look it up. Maybe I should switch to
OPLS? That is the forcfield I am most comfortable with.
Thanks,
Ilya
