I am trying to replicate what is already done in one of the published works
where it is shown through long amber simulation that these bond breaking
happens.
Although following exactly what is already done, I do not get to see the
bond breaking in my case.
Wrote to the authors, but no reply yet since longtime.....I thought why not
I try forcing the system to break the bond and then see if further steps
replicate or not.
