So there is a known issue with vdW interactions:

Also aggregation occuring in GLYCAM with glucose that can be fixed by adjusting LJ interactions:

Maybe you can do this in Amber by editing the topology file LJ section. Rob doesn’t like how much they edit the values (see page 28 here):

As it’s unrealistic. I wonder if it’s because they are running in tip3p? Or that charges also need to be changed?
