It is certainly possible using 3.3.2, but it would be much better to use the 
current version 4.0.5, for the most up-to-date features and *much* faster 
performance!

The choice of force field is up to you based on the simulations already 
performed and reported in the literature, as well as an examination of the force 
field derivations to determine which you feel is best suited to this purpose. 
Nearly all the force fields that can be used with Gromacs have nucleic acids 
represented as fundamental building blocks.
