The reason I asked the question was becuase I was trying to understand them in order to parameterize some bonds myself. for example, dihedral angles a lot time are clearly commented, so I know which bonds could use the parameter.
e.g.
#define gd_4    180.000       5.86          1
; N-CHn-CHn-OA (lipid)  1.4
;
#define gd_5    180.000       9.35          1
; OA-CHn-CHn-OA (sugar) 2.2

But those like following is comfusing to me which conditions they are discribing since it commented 2 atoms for a dihedral angle
#define gd_38     0.000        0.0          4
; -NR-FE-       0.0
;
#define gd_39   180.000        1.0          6
; -CHn-N,NE-    0.24
;
#define gd_40     0.000        1.0          6
; -CHn-C,NR(ring), CR1- 0.24
;


thanks

Dear all
I am a little confused with some force field parameter library. for example

Whether and how this makes sense depends on the context, which you need
to tell us, since we are not going to go looking and guessing for you. :-)

#define gd_26     0.000       2.93          3

This defines a preprocessor macro called gd_26 that replaces each
instance of that token string with the three numbers above.

; -CH2-S-       0.7

This is a comment line.

dihedral is supposed to be i j k l 4 atoms , why, for example, the case
above has only 2 atoms.

You may need to consider the effect of that macro in the context where
it is used.

Mark
