Hi,

They were probably referring to nonbonded exclusions (originally a
CHARMM feature). They can be specified by a NNB section at the end of
the PSF file. One convenient way to build such a section to exclude
interactions between two groups is to use alchemify
(http://www.edam.uhp-nancy.fr/Alchemify/), pretending that each of the
groups is an alchemical end-point state. The web page has more info.
