</div>Whether the results compare agree with experimental data is irrelevant<br>
to the correctness of the implementation -- that has to do with the<br>
validity of AMBER99sb to begin with. The only question is, do GROMACS<br>
and AMBER give the same energies for the same configurations?<br>
<br>
I actually do not know the answer, and would be interested to hear if<br>
it's been tested. <a href="http://ffamber.cnsm.csulb.edu/" target="_blank">http://ffamber.cnsm.csulb.edu/</a> does not appear to<br>
have the very comprehensive tests that appear for earlier models at<br>
the current time. I SUSPECT there should not be a problem, since<br>
AMBER99sb just changed a couple of torsions, so errors are unlikely<br>
(though in theory possible).<br>
