This paper evaluates RNA force fields by testing their ability to simulate the kink-turn motif, finding that some perform better than others in capturing its structural features.

This study evaluates RNA force fields using MD simulations of UUCG tetraloops, finding that some recent variants better preserve native structures but still show discrepancies in folding free energy estimates.

This study benchmarks force-field performance for DNA/RNA hybrid duplexes, finding no force field accurately reproduces all structural features and highlighting parameter conflicts.
