Dear Kenno and other members of namd mailing list,

Is it coumarin. I am planning at the begining only to simulate coumarin
alone to see if it was well parameterized. The topology and the parameter
files were generated by xplo2d and are in xplor format. Please find
attached the files.

Kind regards,
Anna
