AMBER: helices in GB simulations

Dear all,

I have done a GB simulation (with the option igb=2) and a water
simulation on a long helicoidal system. According to experiences my
protein is very stable, so I expect the alpha helices not to deform too
much during simulations.

The trouble is the GB simulation loses almost 50% of the (n,n+4)
hydrogen bonds present in the water simulation. Is it alarming ? Is GB
known for destructuring alpha helices ? Or is GB only exploring more
conformational space ?


Thanks in advance,


Marie-Pierre.
