You have to find an experimental measurement to which you can compare.
NMR is often good. Be sure to calculate the NMR measurable itself and
not compare to any reported populations that were derived from the
measurements. You need to do this no matter which force field you
choose. I have not used NAMD in this manner, so I don't know what the
behaviors might be. Perhaps some others here will have opinions on
that.
