Dear friends

I'm very new in the gromacs world, and I have a very basic question: I'm interested to make simulations of polyaniline but using dihedral angle parameters different from those collected in the ffG53a6bon.itp bonded file force field. In this file the dihedral angle is always 180. However the model that I would use says that the angle
is 163. The formula 4.60 (page 54 of  version 3.3 of the gromacs manual) says:

V = k*(1+cos(n*fi-fi0))

Therefore a fast solution could be to modify the ffG53a6bon.itp file replacing the fi0 =180 by the fi0 = 163. However I?m not really sure because I have read the paper where this force field appears and in te paper fi0 is 180. If this is the case then ¿ I should solve the problem introducing dihedral harmonic restraints (formula 4.69 and 4.70 of the manual) ?

Thank you very much for your help

Manel
