thanks for interest in our ff19SB model. We haven't yet released the actual
CMAP files as we were waiting for feedback from reviewers first in case for
some reason the model needs adjusting. If people would like to beta-test
parameters, under the understanding that they may not be the final ff19SB
set and should not be used (yet) for production runs, please contact me off
list.

Indeed, the water model appears to be crucial. We obtain best agreement
with Onufriev's OPC water, though TIP4P-Ew and OPC3 perform notably better
than TIP3P. OPC has also been shown recently to do better for IDPs, so we
are hopeful about future tests of that combination.
