[gmx-users] Hi...

[Navratna Vajpai]

Sorry for not so explicitly explaining the things.. Here it goes
I have a nona peptide and I ran a MD of 20ns using OPLS-AA force field.
when I used the OPLS-AA the phi angles came out to be -ve for three  
of the amino acids. which is stericaly not allowed. But when I ran it  
using GROMOS I found all the phi-psi combinations with a negative phi  
value distribution. But now I am lost as you have said it works only  
for GROMOS like force field. Why?
and if that so I have got -ve phi distribution for the other phi-psi  
plots.
My other question remained unanswered even now. Is there any way  
really to judge which force field is to be chosen for particular type  
of analysis?
Best regards
Thanks
