dear gmx-users,

i want to do MD simulations of cyclic-peptides that include D-aminoacids.

I work with GROMACS 3.3.1 and want to use the AMBER FF ports.

Is it possible to simulate D-aminoacids without defining anything else ?

Not likely, unless someone has developed the parameters already. Within the ffamber ports, I believe all of the amino acids are in their standard L configuration.

Will the torsions make problems or do I have to define somthing new ?

My guess is that any D-amino acids would be converted to L upon energy minimization, if the energy barrier can be overcome without atomic collision.

What do I have to take care about ?


Well, that's for you to decide in designing your project :)

Any help is much appreciated.

Greetings,

Joern
