[gmx-users] Re: parameter of RB potential for OPLS force field

[Justin A. Lemkul]

There is a periodic dihedral within ffoplsaabon.itp which points to a reference. 
  Perhaps these are the parameters you are referring to.  If not, check out the 
bottom of ffoplsaabon.itp and read that paper to see if the parameters will suit 
your needs.

If you need an R-B dihedral, you may have to parameterize it yourself; not an 
easy task.
