Definition
The simple base pair parameters for the A:B base pair fully compatible with the 3DNA definition.
IMPORTANT: It is critical that the A and B bases are not separated during simulation due to imaging of DNA chains into the simulation box. Use ether topjoinmol from CATs to merge both chains into a single molecule or use the correct value of iwrap in sander or pmemd.
