You should not necessarily assume that "C" is a good representative of a
carbon nanotube. Also be aware that Amber uses an energy function for angles
like this:
E = K * (delta-theta)**2
where delta-theta is measured in radians, and there is no factor of (1/2)
in the equation. Keep these in mind as you compare parameters, since the
literature functions may be different.
I doubt that any atoms one usually sees in biomolecules really looks much like
what one has in a nano-tube.
....good luck....dac
