Re: multiplicity of dihedrals

Hi,
Yes. In the potential function K(1 + cos(n( - )) for the dihedral
angle, n is called the multiplicity. Look at page 101 in the namd tutorial.
As a side note: In a small number of cases two or three terms are provided
for the same dihedral angle. XPLOR/CHARMM writes multiple dihedral bonds in
to the PSF, while NAMD writes only one dihedral bond and extracts multiple
dihedral terms directly from the parameter file.

regards,
Ajasja
