Do you have some experimental data to compare to your IDP
simulations, like X-ray scattering or some such? I'd imagine that
IDP simulations with either forcefield would only be qualitatively
accurate given that the forcefields are calibrated, as you say, on
rigid proteins and small molecules.

Dear Prof van der Spoel and GROMACS users,
I have read the article "Scrutinizing Molecular Mechanics Force
Fields..." where it is demonstrated that AMBER99sb yields protein
conformations that are in better agreement with residual dipolar
coupling, J-coupling and NOE data, compared with other force
fields. However, both proteins used for this benchmark study
(ubiquitin and protein G) are rather rigid, so I was wondering if
there is a similar analysis for flexible proteins/peptides. I want
to simulate a few intrinsically disordered proteins/peptides of
length between 40 and 100 aa and would like to know what would be
the best choice of force field to use. Any experience or knowledge
on this matter would be greatly appreciated!
thanks in advance,
Thomas

Hi,
I have recently done two simulations on a protein at
high temperature
near its melting temperature. At the beginning I used
CHARMM forcefield,
and then OPLSAA to double check the results. There are
some differences
in the structures between the forcefield used. I know
different
forcefields can give different results. All parameters
in the
simulations were the same except the forcefield. Is
there anyway I can
tell which forcefield gives more reliable results?
Thanks for the insights,
Simon
