Dear Dr. Junmei,
Thanks for the prompt reply.
"On the other hand, if n is a positive number, the
followed term is for another torsional angle" is not
clear can you please ellaborate.
Stating our problem in detail
H
__ /
H1 N C
\ / \
H2 -- C4 -- C5 -- C C -- H
/ || \ /
H3 O6 C __ C
/ \
H H
In the above molecule
H1 , H2, H3 are type 'hc'.
C4 is of type 'c3'
C5 is 'c'
O6 is 'o' as per gaff parameter.
gaff.dat is reporting two parameters
hc-c3-c -o 1 0.80 0.0 -1.
Junmei et al, 1999
hc-c3-c -o 1 0.08 180.0 3.
Junmei et al, 1999
The torsions H1-C4-C5-O6, H2-C4-C5-O6, H3-C4-C5-O6
are
of the same type but Amber is reporting H2-C4-C5-O6
two times and the rest 3 times in the topology file.
I am trying to calculate the same. Therefore I need to
understand how this is done in amber.
thanks and regards,
