Hello,

I have a general question re the PRODRG server used to create topologies for gromacs.

Using PRODRG for a simple alkane I get:

[ dihedrals ]
; ai  aj  ak  al  fu    c0, c1, m, ...
4 3 2 1 1 0.0 5.9 3 0.0 5.9 3 ; dih CAG CAE CAC

The dihedrals created are given the function fu = 1 so I assume that they are not Ryckaert-Bellemans functions (where fu=3).


Correct, function type 1 is a periodic dihedral, per the normal requirements of the GROMOS force fields, for which PRODRG is intended.

What is the functional form of the dihedral given by PRODRG? Does it correspond to equation 4.6.1 on page 62 of the gromacs manual (v. 4.0)?


Yes.

If so which numbers in the above dihedral correspond to the symbols in equation 4.6.1?


Please see Table 5.4 in the manual.
