• Attempts to adjust the torsion angle parameters so that the C3′-endo conformation is less favored resulted in large barrier height energies between the C2′- and C3′-endo sugar conformation. Interestingly, if the the RESP charge model is used with the CHARMM23 parameters the C2′-endo conformation is preferred. Analyzing the two charge models suggests that moving some of the negative charge off of N1 (pyrimidine) and N9 (purine) may be needed in the development of a better CHARMM23 force field

• In the low water activity environment simulations hydrogen bond constrains were used on the terminal base pair where end fraying occurred. The hydrogen bond constraints were left on to the end of the simulation or until the ions dissociated to greater than two water layer from the edge of the base pair
