A method is proposed to extract sequence-dependent parameters for rigid base and basepair models of DNA from atomistic molecular dynamics. The practicability of the approach is verified by estimating a complete parameter set for a palindromic oligomer. We test the assumptions of rigidity of the bases and basepairs and the locality of the quadratic internal energy. The results show that these assumptions hold rather well for the base model but not for the basepair model.
