MOST USERS CAN IGNORE THIS DIRECTORY.
This is the original version of oplsaa.txt released with
moltemplate version 1.20. Later on I decided to direct
users to the (hopefully current) version of the "oplsaa.prm"
file distributed with TINKER's force-field-explorer program.
http://dasher.wustl.edu/ffe/distribution/params/oplsaa.prm
http://dasher.wustl.edu/tinker/distribution/params/oplsaa.prm
The original oplsaa.txt from moltemplate version 1.20 file is located here.
Feel free to pick whichever one works well for your application, but
if you publish a paper using these parameters please cite TINKER,
since that appears to be the source of all of these files.
I think these are the relevant citations:
Ponder, J. W., & Richards, F. M. (1987). "An efficient newtonlike method for molecular mechanics energy minimization of large molecules. Journal of Computational Chemistry", 8(7), 1016-1024.
Ponder, J. W, (2004) "TINKER: Software tools for molecular design", http://dasher.wustl.edu/tinker/
Here is a discussion of a difference between these two files:
