[gmx-users] what is the force function for proper dihedrals

[Patrick Fuchs]

Hi Chris,
I've been searching for this as well. You might get some clues in the 
following article, but I didn't have time to read it:
T. Schlick, "A Recipe for Evaluating and Differentiating Cos phi 
Expressions",   J. Comp. Chem.,  10:951-956, May (1989)
I'm interested if you find any pointer to a book or paper on this issue.
Cheers,

Patrick
