In this work, we compare two available sets of parameters for bacteriochlorophyll in extended 200 ns simulations of photoreaction centers from Rhodobacter Sphaeroides in the membrane environment. It is shown that the most popular and widely used set of parameters produces artifacts in cofactor positions and orientations. It is also shown that the hydration of cofactors may vary, by dramatically depending on the used force field. Some recommendations for the further force field development are made. |
