[gmx-users] DNA-protein complex - which force field to use?

[Paulo Netz]

Hi Jernej

I'll choose AMBER or CHARMM, because these two forcefields
have a more reliable description of nucleic acids. In my experience,
OPLS-aa and GROMOS do not seem to be able to produce stable
simulations in the large time scale for nucleic acids systems.

Best regards

Paulo Netz
