[gmx-users] Force constant - Umbrella Sampling

[lloyd riggs]

>From liturature it ranges around 1K for unravling proteins, and protein-protein dissociations range around 2-3k (kj/mol that is).  For small molecules I have no clue.  Id like to know if somone finds out ranges for any of these though....
