  • anharmonic Molecular Mechanics ab initio based morse parametrizations for the popular mm3 force field
    Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 2019
    Co-Authors: R. J. Shannon, B. Hornung, D. P. Tew, D. R. Glowacki
    Abstract:

    Methodologies for creating reactive potential energy surfaces from Molecular Mechanics force-fields are becoming increasingly popular. To date, Molecular Mechanics force-fields in biochemistry and small molecule organic chemistry tend to use harmonic expressions to treat bonding stretches, which is a poor approximation in reactive and nonequilibirum Molecular dynamics simulations since bonds are often displaced significantly from their equilibrium positions. For such applications there is need for a better treatment of anharmonicity. In this contribution, Morse bonding potentials have been extensively parametrized for the atom types in the MM3 force field of Allinger and co-workers using high level CCSD(T)(F12*) energies. To our knowledge this is among the first instances of a comprehensive parametrization of Morse potentials in a popular organic chemistry force field. In the context of Molecular dynamics simulations, these data will: (1) facilitate the fitting of reactive potential energy surfaces using ...

To our knowledge this is among the first instances of a comprehensive parametrization of Morse potentials in a popular organic chemistry force field. In the context of Molecular dynamics simulations, these data will: (1) facilitate the fitting of reactive potential energy surfaces using empirical valence bond approaches and (2) enable more accurate treatments of energy transfer

  • theoretical basis and accuracy of a non iterative polarization protocol in Molecular Mechanics energy function calculations
    Chemical Physics Letters, 2004
    Co-Authors: Kim Palmo, Samuel Krimm
    Abstract:

    The theory of dipole polarization as used in Molecular Mechanics energy functions is analyzed, and the difference in induction energy between an iterative (self-consistent) and non-iterative (one-step) scheme is derived. It is concluded that this difference is bound to be small in most cases, so that a non-iterative polarization model can be expected to give a satisfactory representation of the induction energy. This is demonstrated with examples of configurations of water molecules. The advantages of a one-step procedure are discussed.

  • a spectroscopically effective Molecular Mechanics model for the interMolecular interactions of the hydrogen bonded n methylacetamide dimer
    Chemical Physics Letters, 1999
    Co-Authors: Weili Qian, Noemi G Mirkin, Samuel Krimm
    Abstract:

    Abstract An MP2/6-31+G ∗ calculation of the N -methylacetamide dimer shows that it has two minimum energy structures, both hydrogen bonded with peptide planes roughly perpendicular to each other. A complete Molecular Mechanics optimization of the dimer has been done, using a model for the interMolecular interactions consisting of charges, atomic dipoles, and van der Waals interactions and the methodology of our spectroscopically determined force field for the intraMolecular interactions. The two structures are satisfactorily reproduced, as are their interaction energies, their dipole moments, and, from the point of view of our goal of a spectroscopically accurate force field, their six interMolecular normal mode frequencies.

  • construction of Molecular Mechanics energy functions by mathematical transformation of ab initio force fields and structures
    Journal of Computational Chemistry, 1991
    Co-Authors: Kim Palmo, Larsolof Pietila, Samuel Krimm
    Abstract:

    A method is presented by which ab initio (or empirical) force fields and structures can be converted to Molecular Mechanics energy parameters. Using Cartesian coordinates, the effect of van der Waals and other nonquadratic interactions is eliminated from the original spectroscopic force field, and Molecular Mechanics force constants and reference geometry parameters are derived. The computed parameters yield Molecular structure and vibrational frequencies that are identical to the original ones. The transformation produces a complete general valence force field, which in most cases is impractical, and a procedure to reduce the number of force constants is therefore described. Different ways of applying the transformation are outlined.
