The possibility to construct and parametrize the nonbonded interactions in atomistic force fields based on the valence electron structure of molecules is explored in this paper. Three different charge distribution models using simple…

Over the past decades, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of biomolecules have become a mainstream biophysics technique. As the length and time scales amenable to the MD method increase, shortcomings of the empirical force fields---which…

The recently developed effective interaction method for the hyperspherical harmonic formalism is extended to noncentral forces. Binding energies and radii of three- and four-body nuclei are calculated with AV6 and AV14 NN potentials.…

Methodologies for creating reactive potential energy surfaces from molecular mechanics force-fields are becoming increasingly popular. To date, molecular mechanics force-fields use harmonic expressions to treat bonding stretches, which is a…

We introduce and explore an approach for constructing force fields for small molecules, which combines intuitive low body order empirical force field terms with the concepts of data driven statistical fits of recent machine learned…

We present a non-reactive force field for molecular dynamics simulations of interfaces between passivated amorphous surfaces and their interaction with water. The force field enables large-scale dynamic simulations of dry and lubricated…

We present a general auxiliary field transformation which generates effective interactions containing all possible N-body contact terms. The strength of the induced terms can analytically be described in terms of general coefficients…

The simulation of chemical reactions and mechanical properties including failure from atoms to the micrometer scale remains a longstanding challenge in chemistry and materials science. Bottlenecks include computational feasibility,…

The enormous structural and chemical diversity of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) forces researchers to actively use simulation techniques on an equal footing with experiments. MOFs are widely known for outstanding adsorption properties, so…

Hybrid particle-field methods are computationally efficient approaches for modelling soft matter systems. So far applications of these methodologies have been limited to constant volume conditions. Here, we reformulate particle-field…

A method for generating angular forces around $\sigma$-bonded transition metal ions is generalized to treat $\pi$-bonded configurations. The theoretical approach is based on an analysis of a ligand-field Hamiltonian based on the moments of…

Fundamental understanding of interatomic forces in molecules must emerge from quantum mechanics, yet widely used empirical force fields rely on simplified mechanistic approximations that often fail to capture the complexity of many-body…

We introduce a four-dimensional quantum model for describing the torsional control of $\rm G_{16}$-type molecules in the electronic ground state, based on the symmetry-adapted variational method. We define conditions for which…

A parameterization strategy for molecular models on the basis of force fields is proposed, which allows a rapid development of models for small molecules by using results from quantum mechanical (QM) ab initio calculations and thermodynamic…

Elastic contact in hydrodynamic environments is a complex multiphysics phenomenon and can be found in applications ranging from engineering to biological systems. Understanding the intricacies of this coupled problem requires the…

Classical empirical force fields have dominated biomolecular simulation for over 50 years. Although widely used in drug discovery, crystal structure prediction, and biomolecular dynamics, they generally lack the accuracy and transferability…

We employ various quantum-mechanical approaches for studying the impact of electric fields on both nonretarded and retarded noncovalent interactions between atoms or molecules. To this end, we apply perturbative and non-perturbative methods…

Many commonly used force fields for protein systems such as AMBER, CHARMM, GROMACS, OPLS, and ECEPP have amino-acid-independent force-field parameters of main-chain torsion-energy terms. Here, we propose a new type of amino-acid-dependent…

Nearly all standard force fields employ the 'sum-of-spheres' approximation, which models intermolecular interactions purely in terms of interatomic distances. Nonetheless, atoms in molecules can have significantly non-spherical shapes,…
