[gmx-users] adding dihedral terms

[David L. Bostick]

Dear all,

If I list 2 or more dihedrals in a row in a molecule.itp file, will those
dihedral terms be added (i.e. superposed) in the resulting force field
after grompping and running?  I know I can convert the superposed dihedral
terms to an RB dihedral, but I just want to know ... is this what is done
when listing 2 or more dihedral terms or is the 1st dihedral term simply
overwritten by the second one listed in the molecule.itp file?

thanks,
David
