53A6 is known to under-stabilize helices, so if a helix did not appear in a 
simulation using this force field, it is not definitive proof that the structure 
does not populate helical structures.  I generally see mixed opinions in the 
literature in terms of which Gromos parameter set is the most reliable.  As was 
asked by someone else, is there a reason you are only considering Gromos 
parameter sets?  Others may be better suited to your study.
