Hi All,
I don't understand why below two parameter have the same delta value. What does that value mean? If one is 180 degrees shouldn't the other be 0 degree??

DIHEDRALS
!
!V(dihedral) = Kchi(1 + cos(n(chi) - delta)
!
!Kchi: kcal/mole
!n: multiplicity
!delta: degrees
!
!atom types Kchi n delta
O C NH1 CT1 2.5000 2 180.00 ! ALLOW PEP
! Gives appropriate NMA cis/trans barrier. (LK)
O C NH1 H 2.5000 2 180.00 ! ALLOW PEP
! Gives appropriate NMA cis/trans barrier. (LK)

HA-CA--CB-HB2

   | HB3
 O=C

Thanks,
