hell all:
  
  i want to change some bonds force constants and bond lengths to do some 
simulations. it seems that can be done by modifing FFg43a1bon.itp.
  The CHARMM force field which i used before defined the force constant 
with physical units Kcal/mol/A*A which almost in 10^2  orders. ( for 
example the force constant of C-C is 240 ).
but in the FFg43a1bon.itp most force constant is in 10^(-7) orders ( for 
example : #define gb_1        0.1000  1.5700e+07
; H  -  OA      750                    )
 From the Gromacs manual it seems that the pysical units of force constant 
is KJ/mol/nm*nm
.even that i think the order is too far from that of CHARMM. so how to 
convert CHARMM force constant into Gromos force field?
