do you have any proof that the martini force field _can_ fold proteins?
the 2008 monticelli paper explicitly states that the secondary structure
of proteins is not at all modeled, but used as input parameter and then
kept fixed. so in my opinion you are currently wasting your time and
that of your computer.
