You don't say what you mean by "partially disappeared", or what led you to
that conclusion. Nevertheless, you should not expect any reasonable
results to arise from running a vacuum simulation of DNA at 400 K. I guess
you will get some conformation (and am pretty sure atoms won't disappear), but
I doubt that there will be any useful information there.
