[gmx-users] Tabulated potentials for dihedrals - regd

[ramesh cheerla]

Dear Mark,

                    Thank you for your reply, According to my
understanding  functional form of dihedral function type 9 is same as
dihedral function type 1 i.e   k
(1 + cos(n
 (phi)- phi
s))  except the
difference that  function type 9 is used to handle the multiple potential
functions to be applied to the single dihedreal, Is my understanding
correct ?.
The functional form that I am using  Summn over 'n'  0.5*K [ ( Cos
 n(phi-phi0)] , Here 1<= n <= 3  is different from the  k
(1 + cos(n

(phi)- phi
s)). I am suspecting   can I use  function type 9 for my
function.
Can you please clarify my doubt.

Thank you in advance.
