Subject: AMBER: B or E Dihedral Labels in RDPARM output

Dear All,

When "viewing" an AMBER topology file using the RDPARM utility one can
list the dihedrals present using the 'dihedral' command. What do the
letters B or E mean at the start of a dihedral line?

I've looked in the AMBER manual and googled a bit, but not found much,
hence why I'm posting. I'm assuming at this moment that B means an
improper dihedral and E may mean an additional term in the Fourier
series for an existing dihedral. Can anyone confirm or explain?

Thanks,

Mark Williamson
