Hi all users,

I am dealing with  the CG DNA model and I just list the parameters for non-bond potential blow:

  S     P         1        0.000004352   4.352E-12

You can see that the base pair potential is larger than the other pairs . But I found when I run this case,using the command "ngmx",  it always shows that the matching base pair will repel from each other even I set the temperature by 0K in the mdp.file . I have checked the base pairs' distance and originally they are all in the equilibrium distance.

Thank you for any suggestions in advance.
