Re: [AMBER] Several alpha-helices stitched together - how would you stress-test it with MD?

The possibility in md depends on strongly on the size and your
computational resources. How long is it? Note that a single long helix
requires a much larger periodic box than the same peptide length when it
forms a helical bundle.
