Re: nonbonded interactions

One reason may be that NAMD ignores most nonbonded parameters. The
appendix D in the NAMD tutorial provides a brief discussion. (pg 103 in
the windows pdf version).

I hope someone can give a more thorough explanation.

In the PSF file generated by VMD, the number of nonbonded interactions is almost always zero except in alchemical transformation. And I'm wondering why it's that and where the VDW interactions come from in NAMD.
