Thank you very much, Mark.
Is there anyway I can know the unit of input from the top file? I am not
sure what I am getting from the webtool, although it shows "kj/mol" the
instruction on the web says the unit is reduced unit, which makes me
confused. In the former case I do not need to convert, but in latter case, I
need to convert to standard units. The webtool is from
http://smog.ucsd.edu/sbm_faq.html, it is developped by Dr. Onuchic's group
in UCSD.
Has anyone used this?
