Yes I mentioned everything correctly. The reviewer's doubt is on the choice
of force field of the ligand not of the protein.
   Thank you

Hello Srjita, did you write correctly that you are using the "CHARMM
*general* force field" for the protein? If so, the reviewer's comment may
be about the choice for the protein, not the ligand.
