Re: Parameter and Topology File Question

To be clear - unless stated in the materials, all rtf/prm files distributed
with the tutorials are included so that the examples are as repeatable as
possible and are for demonstration purposes only. They are not guaranteed
to be current or even free from error. For actual research projects it
would be wise to obtain alternative files, for example from the MacKerell
group.

Cheers,
BKR
