1. Potential energy functions QM ab initio: distribution of electrons over the system. Gaussian94, Gamess, ... Semi-empirical methods: pre-calculated values or neglect of some parts of the ab-initio calculation.

Potential energy functions Differences: * Speed (as a function of system size) * Accuracy * Intended use (heat of fusion; conformational energies; transition states; vibrations/spectra; …) * Transferability / applicability * Availability / user interface

Force field parameters:where do they come from? 1. Mimic physical properties of individual elements or atom types, producing a “physical” force field. Properties can be taken from experimental data, or ab-initio calculations. Examples: Dreiding, Compass. + outcome will be ‘reasonable’, predictable; extension to new systems relatively straightforward. - performance not very good.
Force field parameters:where do they come from? 2. Optimize all parameters with respect to a set of test data, producing a “consistent” force field. Test set can be chosen to represent the system under investigation. Examples: CFF, CVFF. + outcome often good for a particular type of systems, or a particular property (e.g. IR spectrum). - extension to new systems can be difficult; no direct link to ‘physical reality’
Force field parameters:where do they come from? 3. Apply common sense and look at what the neighbors do. Examples: Gromos. + does not waste time on FF parameterization; resonable results. - ?
Atomic charges Why? To include the effect of the charge distribution over the system. Some sp2 oxygens are more negative than others. How? Assign a small charge to each atom. Caveat: interaction with other force field parameters (e.g. VdW).
Atomic charges • What is the atomic charge? • * Based on atomic electronegativity, optimized for a given FF. • example: Gasteiger charges. • Based on atomic electronegativity and the resulting electrical field. • example: Charge Equilibrium charges (QEq). • * Based on the electronic distribution calculated by QM. • example: Mulliken charges. • * Based on the electrostatic potential near the molecule, • calculated by a non-empirical method (or determined experimentally). • examples: Chelp, ChelpG, RESP.
Atomic charges Properties and features of different charge schemes: * Depends on molecular conformation? * Easy (=quick) to calculate? * Performance in combination with force field? Known-to-be-good combinations: Tripos -- Gasteiger Dreiding -- ESP Compass -- Compass
