Optimization of the OPLS-AA Force Field for Long Hydrocarbons.
The all-atom optimized potentials for liquid simulations (OPLS-AA) force field is a popular force field for simulating biomolecules. However, the current OPLS parameters for hydrocarbons developed using short alkanes cannot reproduce the liquid properties of long alkanes in molecular dynamics simulations. Therefore, the extension of OPLS-AA to (phospho)lipid molecules required for the study of ...
متن کاملPrediction of hydration free energies for the SAMPL4 diverse set of compounds using molecular dynamics simulations with the OPLS-AA force field
All-atom molecular dynamics computer simulations were used to blindly predict the hydration free energies of a range of small molecules as part of the SAMPL4 challenge. Compounds were parametrized on the basis of the OPLS-AA force field using three different protocols for deriving partial charges: (1) using existing OPLS-AA atom types and charges with minor adjustments of partial charges on equ...
متن کاملImproved Peptide and Protein Torsional Energetics with the OPLS-AA Force Field
The development and validation of new peptide dihedral parameters are reported for the OPLS-AA force field. High accuracy quantum chemical methods were used to scan φ, ψ, χ1, and χ2 potential energy surfaces for blocked dipeptides. New Fourier coefficients for the dihedral angle terms of the OPLS-AA force field were fit to these surfaces, utilizing a Boltzmann-weighted error function and system...
متن کاملIterative Force-Field Calculation and Molecular Dynamics of Cyclooctanone
Body's iterative force-field computer program has been used to calculate strain energies in cyclooctanone (I). 348 MHZ 1H NMR spectra of (I) have been investigated over the temperature range of 25° to -160°C. Two conformation processes affect the 1H NMR spectrum of (I). Iterative force-field calculations on the conformations and conformational interconversion paths of ...
متن کاملParameterization of OPLS-AA force field for the conformational analysis of macrocyclic polyketides
The parameters for the OPLS-AA potential energy function have been extended to include some functional groups that are present in macrocyclic polyketides. Existing OPLS-AA torsional parameters for alkanes, alcohols, ethers, hemiacetals, esters, and ketoamides were improved based on MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ and MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ calculations. Nonbonded parameters for the sp(3) carbon and oxygen atoms were ...
