Look at the end of that file for SOURCE3.

Subject: [AMBER] angles values in GAFF for alkynes

Dear Amber users,
Looking into the GAFF.dat file, I have noticed that the angles among c1-c1-c3 and c1-c1-ha are 177.99 and 178.38 respectively

c1-c1-c3 56.4 177.99 SOURCE3 4 1.0065 1.1721
c1-c1-ha 44.8 178.38 SOURCE3 41 1.6952 2.0683

However, these angles should be 180. If we have, for example, an alkyne CH3-C=C-H (c3-c1-c1-ha), it should be linear, and both angles should be 180.

Does anybody know why the values for these angles have been established to values different from 180?? Would it be any problem if they are changed to 180?

Best wishes,

Rebeca
