[gmx-users] Dose the GROMOS FF favour beta-sheets?

[pascal.baillod at epfl.ch]

Hi everybody,

I am doing some protein unfolding simulations and getting some new, compact and
beta-sheet rich unfolded states.I have read 2-3 papers comparing force fields
and suggesting that the gromos force field might overstabilize beta-sheets. Has
anybody else obtained beta -rich unfolded conformations in protein unfolding
simulations, or know of any other relevant reference I might have overseen?

Thanks a lot in advance!!

Pascal
