Hello,
as far as I can get, the conversion is something like:
1 kcal/(mol*A*e) = 4.184 kJ/(mol*A*e) =
(4184/1.6022*10**-19)*V/(mol*A) = (4184/1.6022*10**-29)*V/(mol*m)
= 2.61*10**32 V/(mol*m)
Now i really do not understand why that "mol" is there. What is it supposed
to be? Avogadro's number? The number of moles in the box? The number of
molecules in the box? Anyways, a conversion factor in 10**32 is
astonishing, and even if mol is substituted with Avogadro's number, I
get 1 kcal/(mol*A*e)
= 4.34*10**8 V/m that is a nonsense to me. Can please someone give me an
hint? And, maybe, explain to me why to not use SI units in Amber?
