Hi everybody,

I've just compared the following opls-aa torsional parameters for hydrocarbons given in J. Comp. Chem., Vol. 18, No. 16, 1955 - 1970 (1997)
as well as in J. Comp. Chem., Vol. 23, No. 15, 1416 - 1429 (2002)
with those in ffoplsaabon.itp (Gromacs 4.0.7):

##literature (these are also the original values for alkanes published by Jorgensen in 1996 I believe):
                    V1            V2            V3
H-C-C-H            0.0            0.0            0.318
H-C-C-C            0.0            0.0            0.366
C-C-C-C            1.74          -0.157          0.279

##ffoplsaabon.itp, keyword "hydrocarbon", (translated according to eq. 4.64 of the manual):

                    V1            V2            V3
H-C-C-H            0.0            0.0            0.300
H-C-C-C            0.0            0.0            0.300
C-C-C-C            1.299          -0.05          0.200

There's obviously a difference.
Is there another source for the latter parameters which I just wasn't able to find? I know that the numbers in Gromacs were updated in 1999.

Cheers,
Markus
