Subject: best force field for Protein+DNA

Dear Amber users:

for simulations of protein and DNA together in an implicit water model
(distance-dependent dielectric constant or GBSA model) is parm99 the best
force field? Is the DNA energy/deformation energy as well described as in
parm98, and if not can one mix force fields like parm99 for protein and
parm98 for DNA. Many thanks for your advice!

Best regards,
