The Natt = 56 atom types (or, equivalently, NattEE = 56 EE types) are listed, along with their usage and the associated LJ type (referring to the entries of Table 4). Initial (optimization start) and final (after optimization) values for these parameters can be found in Tables S.9 and S.7, respectively, in the Supporting Information.
