[gmx-users] [gmx-developers] DNA is one moltype or two moltype?

[Erik Marklund]

Hi,

This is a user question, not a developer question, so I reply too the user list.

Normally, they do not have bonded interactions between them. And unless they have identical sequence, they are two molecule types.

Kind regards,
Erik

I wonder if molecules such as DNA is considered by gromacs to be two molecule types (one for each strand) or is only one molecule type with some custom-bonds between the two strands?
