<br>
I use the following parameters to run MD of ethane in vacuo. Then
I calculate the H-C-C-H dihedral angle distribution and from that
the rotational energy barrier using the formula DeltG=-k*T*ln(x),
where x is the dihedral value. The rotational energy barrier is
correct (~ 12 kJ) with all-bond constraints, but not with h-bond
or no bond constraints. Could anyone tell me which other
parameters to tweak in order to get the correct dihedral angle
distribution without any bond constraints.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance.<br>

This is too long if you are not using all-atom constraints. See
manual 6.5 for discussion.<br>
