• In order to correctly mimic the hydrogen bonds between the polar atoms, GROMOS force field uses a set of increased van der Waals atomic radii. However, because the GROMOS force field significantly underestimates the amino group short range repulsion in the case of non hydrogen bonded MPLAN complex as well (Figure 7a), discrepancies between the empirical potential and ab initio calculations can not be eliminated by means of these modified HB van der Waals parameters
