Hi Pascal, Please specify the (Gromos) force field used further. There seems to be something with the 53a5/6 series in terms of alpha helix / beta sheet preference. I'm not sure whether this has been fixed already. I don't recall having heard of such an issue with the 43a2/45a3 series. But these have there own problems of course, just as any force field has. Keep up the development!
Anyway, hope this is useful to you.
