[gmx-users] ffamber94 parameters

[Mark Abraham]

As one of the early chapters in the GROMACS manual points out, GROMACS always uses energy and distance quantities in particular units. The use of kb depends on those conventions, so you should look up the relevant formulae for AMBER and GROMACS and see how the conversion should work (hint: there's a factor of 2 involved as well). Or, you could play around with 4.184J/cal and work it out in a minute or two :-)
