Thanks for your reply, >>Chris The test I ran was just rotating a side chain of an amino acid residue over one of its dihedral angle 360 degrees with dihre_fc = 8000.
I originally thought fc = 8000kJ/mol unit^2 would give fluctuation of about the half the unit size since I use fc = 8000kJ/mol nm^2 for 0.5A spacing. But, after I thought twice about it, it would be fc = 80kJ/moml nm^2, for 0.5nm spacing... So, after I realized that, kJ/mol rad^2 made sense to me and my test run's fluctuation (about several degress = 1/20 rad = about 3 degrees) >>David I think Chris meant "my test run" :) It's good to hear that your implementation can produce a reasonable PMF profile. I hope mine will, too.
