Force Field Builder

Efficient tool for optimizing custom torsion parameters in OPLS4

Force Field Builder

Overview

Force Field Builder is designed to provide force field parameters for torsions that are not explicitly represented in the force field. The set of molecules is analyzed to locate such torsions, and then quantum mechanical calculations are performed to obtain parameters for the torsions. New parameters are seamlessly integrated into the OPLS4 parameters directory for easy use in subsequent simulations.
