Hi,
 
I got the right electrostatic interaction!
 
For CHARMM22 Force Field, the configure is as follows:
 exclude scaled1-4
1-4scaling 1.0
 
In the namd tutorial, it says:
The van der Waals interaction for¡°1-4¡± atoms are modified using special 1-4 parameters defined in the parameter file, which is partial shown below.
 
NONBONDED nbxmod 5 atom cdiel shift vatom vdistance vswitch -
cutnb 14.0 ctofnb 12.0 ctonnb 10.0 eps 1.0 e14fac 1.0 wmin 1.5
                !adm jr., 5/08/91, suggested cutoff scheme
!
!V(Lennard-Jones) = Eps,i,j[(Rmin,i,j/ri,j)**12 - 2(Rmin,i,j/ri,j)**6]
!
!epsilon: kcal/mole, Eps,i,j = sqrt(eps,i * eps,j)
!Rmin/2: A, Rmin,i,j = Rmin/2,i + Rmin/2,j
!
!atom ignored epsilon Rmin/2 ignored eps,1-4 Rmin/2,1-4

CP1 0.000000 -0.020000 2.275000 0.000000 -0.010000 1.900000 ! ALLOW ALI
                ! alkane update, adm jr., 3/2/92
CP2 0.000000 -0.055000 2.175000 0.000000 -0.010000 1.900000 ! ALLOW ALI
                ! alkane update, adm jr., 3/2/92

My question is that, for 1-4 VDW interaction, i may use the modified values marked in red for CP1 and CP2, but what for CE2 and CM?
 
 
 
Thanks for your share!
 
 
Best wishes,
 
Yandong,
