      &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Thanks for your reply. I am not using&nbsp; both&nbsp; LJ
      and Buckingham in the same simulation, but trying to use only <span
        class="HOEnZb"></span> Buckingham . As my system is a polymer
      which is made of the monomer unit that's what i am adding to the
      force field. Our polymer system uses the parameters only from the
      residue&nbsp; which i have added to the forcefield through buckingham
      A,B &amp; C parameters. <br>
      I would like to ask the previous question again, Which values can
      i use for the&nbsp; [ pairtypes ] directive&nbsp; in the ffnonbonded.itp can
      i use arbitrary values or&nbsp; zeroes what i noticed from my
      simulations is by changing the sigma and epsilon values in the [
      pairtypes ] directive energy values are changing.<br>
      if i try to comment&nbsp; out the pairtypes&nbsp; 'grompp'&nbsp; is generating
      the following errors( here i am sending only one error message )<br>
      <br>
      ERROR 411 [file topol.top, line 862]:<br>
      &nbsp; No default LJ-14 types<br>
      &nbsp;<br>
      i am a little bit confused&nbsp; why grompp is giving this error
      message though i am using&nbsp; the bucking potential by specifying the
      nbfunc as 2 in the [ default ] directive and providing the A,B,C
      values through [nonbond_params ] .<br>
      if it is mandatory to use pair types&nbsp; how can i get these values
      for this directive.<br>
    </blockquote>
    <br>
    You'll have to do some detective work starting at line 862.<br>

            As I understand things, pairs for special 1-4 interactions
            are not used with Buckingham interactions.<br>
            <br>
            Looking closer at your original post, you claim to be adding
            a residue using Buckingham to an existing force field. No
            force fields distributed with GROMACS use Buckingham, so if
            you're trying to make both LJ and Buckingham work in the
            same simulation, you will be unable to succeed.<span

                    You will be able to use zeroes. You can verify that
                    there's no effect by changing the values to
                    ludicrous ones and observing that the simulation is
                    the same.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
