Dear all,
I want to simulate DNA-drug complex, but after reading mail archive I'm
still unsure what will be the best choice for the force field: I'm
hesitating between ff98 and ff99 or may be mix of them (98 for DNA, 99 for
drug). As it is written in the manual, ff98 is tuned for nucleic acids
whereas ff99 is better for organic molecules. What will be your
advice?
Besides I have question about the assigning atom types for the carbon
atoms in the chromophore of the drug (see attached figure). Should
they all (except that in C=O group) have CM or CA type?
Thank you in advance,
Katya
