Hello

I am a Master's student working on a problem involving modelling 
B-cyclodextrin inclusion compounds.  Can anyone recommend a suitable 
forcefield for molecular modelling and dynamics 
simulation of carbohydrates?  At the moment I am using a general 
forcefield supplied by MSI's Discover (cff91) - but I would prefer 
more specificity and greater reliability.  Any suggestions would be 
appreciated.
Thanks in advance
