I tried beta-hairpin using amber ff99 + GB model. It forms helix quickly
in conventional MD simulation at 325 K. I do not have this experience to
observe helix formation so fast in CHARMM FF. Maybe I should use replica
exchange MD to generate the decoy to examine the population of
helix and beta secondary structures.
