I recently pushed an update to the #oxDNA to PDB converter which makes the backmapped structures work out-of-the-box with all-atom simulation tools (the previous version didn't correctly remove the phosphate from the 5' end). Here's a 2-minute demo on how to prepare an oxDNA structure for GROMACS! 🧬
