[gmx-users] about potential energy calculation

[Albert]

Hi Mark.

thanks a lot for your comments.

These two peptides are isomers.

I want to know which conformations is more favourable than the other 
from the aspect of potential energy.....

However, the system potential energy and the peptide potential energy 
seems to be inconsistent with each other.... So I am pretty confused 
right now....

regards
