Hi Amber users,

I am trying to establish some parameters for a single walled carbon nanotube.

Leap wants an angle parameter for C-C-C bonds, so I used parmcal and got 65.690
and 120.000 as results. However, in the literature I found some values like 562
kJ/mol (=134 kCal/mol).

If I assume the parmcal result in kcal/mol, there is still a large difference
between the values. Is it advisable to use parmcal results for my simulations?

Thanks,
Murat Cetinkaya
