Hi guys,
I run NANMA ABF simulations with and without CMAP correction, with the CMAP I get the second minima in C7ax conformation, but in the no CMAP simulations, doesn't matter if the simulations are much longer, the second minima is in the alphaL region.
Thanks a lot for your help!.
Best,
Carles.
