Dear Amber users,
I wonder what people think of the terminal base
pair opening of short (e.g. 12mer) DNA sequences
in MD simulations at 300 K. Should it be prevented
by e.g. small distance constraints between H-bonded
atoms to mimic a normal stacking in a longer DNA
strech, or it would introduce a bigger artifact in
the model. Would this effect be significant 3-4 steps
away?
Thanks for your comments.
