Hi all users,

I am dealing with  the CG DNA model and I just list the parameters for non-bond 
potential blow:

You can see that the base pair potential is larger than the other pairs . But I found 
when I run this case,using the command "ngmx",  it always shows that the 
matching base pair will repel from each other even I set the temperature by 0K in the 
mdp.file . I have checked the base pairs' distance and originally they are all in the 
equilibrium distance.


Then your model physics are unrealistic. Either the parameters are wrong, or your .mdp options are inappropriate. Do your nucleotides really just consist of three particles (base, sugar, and phosphate)? If so, you may be missing some of the subtleties of hydrogen bonding (which is an electrostatic interaction), and the geometry within the helix, and perhaps even causing excessive repulsion between the phosphate backbones.

Thank you for any suggestions in advance.
