I'm a little lost here: Is the dinucleotide the "ligand" here?
In the top paragraph, you say that you used cgenff for the ligand, but in
the second paragraph you say you used GAFF2 for the ligand. Can you clarify
what is going on?
My take, based on incomplete information: if the force field for the ligand
changed, it is not surprising that you might see a conformational change
there. If the ligand force field has not changed, look at the RNA
surroundings (that are in contact with the ligand): has there been any
conformational change there, as one might expect in going from the CHARMM
RNA parameters to the Amber one?
