I have created new residues ready for introducing them in RNA. The
approach was the following:
-I created the residue starting with one already existing (ex: 2amino
purine starting from adenine)
-I derived the missing parameters using antechamber from Amber7.
-The charges were derived using two stage RESP fit.
-The residues were them introduced in a simple AMber minimizer in
vacuum using an igb=3(distance dependent) and a dielectric constant
equal to 4.
I have 2 questions:
-The total energy obtained from the minimization is positive. What is
the significance of such values for the total energy?
-Does anyone tried this kind of an approach and if yes can anybody
give me some ideeas how to prove the consistency of the models that I
have created? How could I prove that they are correct?
I have already received some answers to this matter and I want to
thank for all.
Best regards,
vlad
