[gmx-users] per mol of what?

2013-09-26 Thread Ángel Piñeiro
Hi when calculating an energy contribution using g_energy, the units specified in the plots, as well as in the output tables, are kJ/mol. This happens even when the -nmol flag is missing (so nmol=1). On the other hand, the energy units in gromacs are kJ/mol. So I guess that when a term (a dihedral
