Hmm, you and Jerome are absolutely right. It could be an effect of the
huge negative charge of RNA in vacuo and perhaps addition of counterions
and water will stabilise the structure.
I actually wanted optimize conformation of RNA model, which I obtained
by another program.
Thank you for help.
Best,
Irina.
