Hello All -
I am interested in performing MD on some beta- and gamma-peptides (one or
two extra methylene groups in the backbone). I has recently come to my
attention that the amino acids asparagine and glutamine with their amide
groups are good models of beta- and gamma-peptides, respectively, if you
look at the side chain as the backbone.
Is there any knowledge out there of what force fields would best handle
beta- and gamma-peptides specifically or would handle asparagine and
glutamine well?
Thanks to all,
Zachary
