Re: vmd-l: Angles and dihedral generation

The most accurate place would be to look at the topology file itself.

My personal advice is to remove the H-H bond from the TIP3 structure and
then run "regenerate angles dihedrals" on the whole structure before you
write it out. This is required if you're using CHARMM 31 or newer
parameter files where the patches no longer include angles and dihedrals.
