I never tried, but I think you can prepare an amber.par file with only the data that you want to change and the others will be taken from the other amber.par file.
Thank you Varnon. I have one more question. Are the 'Q' flags necessary in the amber.par file for any QM atoms with modified parameters. I have seen in the following page http://nwchemgit.github.io/index.php/QMMM_Appendix#Generation_of_new_fragment_files that the newly created atom types are flagged with Q. My case is just modifying parameters though. And when the topology file was created I did see the atom types defined as QM atoms with the prepare module were all 'Q' flagged. So just wondering when 'Q' flags are needed to be considered.
Best,
Tee
Also I'm wondering how to check whether the new parameters overwrite the old ones. I've tried 2 cases, first with the old Mg2+ parameter and the second with a new Mg2+ parameter (put inthe directory I run prepare module). However, when I used 'diff' command to compare between topology files of these two cases, I got no differences except for the date of file creation. I have also tried to search for vdw parameters in topology file to match with the values in amber.par file but couldn't find any.
I'm aware that amber.par used in nwchem is format sensitive so I carefully checked and had everything to be the same as the original amber.par files.
Never mind. I think I knew where my mistake was.
