- Carbohydrate Solution Force Field (CSFF)
- a CHARMM-type force field for molecular dynamics simulations of carbohydrates. We have altered the primary alcohol dihedral parameters of a carbohydrate force field for CHARMM (developed by Brady and co-workers) to produce realistic primary alcohol motion. This was performed by adjusting the dihedral angle force constants and tested by calculating the potential of mean force for the primary alcohol rotation in both glucose and galactose. In addition, anomeric free energy difference calculations and vibrational analysis have been performed on glucose to further test the force field.
