It depends on the function type. See the table "Intramolecular interaction definitions" in chapter 5 of the gromacs manual. There you can se the units associated with the different kinds of interactions.

Hi,

In what units does gromacs MD engine treats harmonic bond constants?
In the tutorial, there is a hint about fourth-power potential (related
to GROMOS-96 FF) which I guess should have a constant in
[kJ/mol/nm^4], but not in [kJ/mol/nm^2]. Although it seems by the
absolute value that in the existing FFs (.../top/) including GROMOS96
they appear in [kJ/mol/nm^2].

If the own FF is used, in what units should one type the values of k_b
in topology file for GROMPP to understand it correctly? My variant is
[kJ/mol/nm^2]. Please let me know if I'm true.

Thanks.
