Actually I have already used cgenff for both the peptide and ligand. But I
got a question from reviewer that why I am using cgenff why not other force
field. So I want to test the molecule with other force field like opls-aa.
So I thought to keep the force field of the peptide fix and vary the ff of
the ligand to check it's ff validation. Is it a right way to check it or I
can use opls-aa for both the peptide and ligand to check it?
