Hi Ivan and Jiri,
Thanks for your help.
I am just reading the article :
J. Phys. Chem, B 108, 5466-5471, 2004
Jiri, could explain me how do u used AMBER to calculate the energies ? I mean how
do u extract from the energies just the values for one specific base pair....or may
be your system is just one base pair and nothing more?
Thanks
Angelo
