[gmx-developers] Short question: Preferred FF for proteins

[Shirts, Michael (mrs5pt)]

Not really a gromacs developer question, more of a user question.

amber99sb-ildn is probably the force field that has been most heavily
validated for proteins.  Check some of the Shaw group papers.

That's not to say that others might not be sufficient, just that more
CPU-hours have been burned studying that force field than any other, and the
results have not been bad.


Best,
