Dear amber users,

I have performed GPU MD simulations using 2 force fields for Z-DNA protein
complex , namely 1) ff99SB and 2) combined force field of DNA
(leaprc.DNA.OL15) and protein (leaprc.protein.ff14SB) of AMBER16. I observe
that in ff99SB simulations the Z-DNA conformation remains unchanged
whereas, in leaprc.DNA.OL15 specified simulations the conformation of Z-DNA
is completely transformed to B-DNA conformation. Hence, which of these
results is reliable? What should be the appropriate force field to study
Z-DNA conformation? It would be really helpful if you could help me out
with this issue. Thank you very much.
