5 The Potential Energy Function U bond = oscillations about the equilibrium bond length U angle = oscillations of 3 atoms about an equilibrium bond angle U dihedral = torsional rotation of 4 atoms about a central bond U nonbond = non-bonded energy terms (electrostatics and Lenard-Jones)

The force constants can be obtained from vibrational analysis of the molecule (experimentally or theoretically).

15 Checking file structures PDB file Topology file PSF file Parameter file

16 Parameter Optimization Strategies Check if it has been parameterized by somebody else Literature Google Minimal optimization By analogy (i.e. direct transfer of known parameters) Quick, starting point Maximal optimization Time-consuming Requires appropriate experimental and target data Choice based on goal of the calculations Minimal database screening MR/X-ray structure determination Maximal free energy calculations, mechanistic studies, subtle environmental effects

17 Getting Started Identify previously parameterized compounds Access topology information assign atom types, connectivity, and charges annotate changes CARMM topology (parameter files) top_all22_model.inp (par_all22_prot.inp) top_all22_prot.inp (par_all22_prot.inp) top_all22_sugar.inp (par_all22_sugar.inp) top_all27_lipid.rtf (par_all27_lipid.prm) top_all27_na.rtf (par_all27_na.prm) top_all27_na_lipid.rtf (par_all27_na_lipid.prm) top_all27_prot_lipid.rtf (par_all27_prot_lipid.prm) top_all27_prot_na.rtf (par_all27_prot_na.prm) toph19.inp (param19.inp) A and lipid force fields have new LJ parameters for the alkanes, representing increased optimization of the protein alkane parameters. Tests have shown that these are compatible (e.g. in protein-nucleic acid simulations). For new systems is suggested that the new LJ parameters be used. ote that only the LJ parameters were changed; the internal parameters are identical
