Dear gromacs developers,
I would like to know what is the unity for armonic constraint in ffbonded.itp. In the user manual (Table 5.4) it is written that is kJ mol−1 nm−2 but in the .itp file
I read  "C  C          1     0.1525   259408.0 ; new99"

The value of 1 indicates a function type (simple harmonic expression).


I understand that 0.1525 is the equlibrium distance 5in nm) but 259408.0 KJ it is almost high. Maybe the right value is 259408.0 J ?


The quoted units are correct. Verify yourself with the primary literature for the chosen force field (which may require some conversions, i.e. kcal -> kJ, Angstrom -> nm).
