Available Force Fields

Force Field X stores AMOEBA force fields internally. The 2009 AMOEBA Biomolecular force field is specified as:

The following force fields may also be specified. Except where noted, they have been imported from the TINKER v. 5.1 distribution.

forcefield amoeba-bio-2009
  • amoeba-water the 2003 Ren and Ponder AMOEBA water model (water.prm)
  • amoeba-2004 initial AMOEBA small molecule parameters (amoeba04.prm)
  • amoeba-2009 2009 update to the AMOEBA small molecule parameters (amoeba09.prm)
  • amoeba-protein-2004 initial AMOEBA protein force field (amoebapro04.prm)
  • amoeba-protein-2004-u1 an update to the initial AMOEBA protein force field based on validation stuides done in the Ren lab
  • amoeba-bio-2009 the 2009 update to the AMOEBA protein force field and initial AMOEBA nucleic acid force field (amoebabio09.prm)

DHFR Example

Force Field X reproduces TINKER v. 5.1 potential energy values to more than 10 significant digits on large, solvated systems. For example, our test suite includes the classic DHFR bench mark as well as solvated ubiquitin.
