Re: [AMBER] Units used in ff14sb

I'm not sure whether that's the same units. For example, for the harmonic
bond force, the website says [1] the equilibrium length is in angstroms.
However the C-C bond length for example is listed as 0.1525. The C-C bond
length (in diamond) is 154 pm or 0.154 nm leading me to suspect that the
bond length given is in nm, contrary to the what it says on the website you
linked.

Thanks,

[1]

   - 4 - ***** INPUT FOR BOND LENGTH PARAMETERS *****

                    IBT , JBT , RK , REQ

                        FORMAT(A2,1X,A2,2F10.2)

         IBT,JBT Atom symbols for the two bonded atoms.

         RK The harmonic force constant for the bond "IBT"-"JBT".
                    The unit is kcal/mol/(A**2).

         REQ The equilibrium bond length for the above bond in Angstroms

                    The input is terminated by a blank card.
