Ryckaert-Bellemans (R-B) function is used in Gromacs [23] and Fourier series is used in TINKER [22].

All values are shown in units of kcal/mol. The R-B parameters listed use the Gromacs convention where 0° is the trans configuration (i.e., the “polymer convention”). The Fourier series parameters listed use the Tinker convention where 0° is the cis configuration.
