All-Atom Molecular Dynamics (MD) Simulations
All-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have revolutionized the field of computational chemistry and biochemistry. By simulating the dynamic behavior of atoms and molecules, MD simulations provide valuable insights into the behavior and interactions of complex systems at the atomic level. This method performs simulations according to Newton's laws of motion, where each atom is treated as an individual particle in the mathematical model.

Force Fields for All-Atom Molecular Dynamics Simulations
CHARMM Force Fields
CHARMM force fields can handle a variety of macromolecules, including organic molecules, polymers, biochemical molecules, and so on. The structures, conformational energies and free energies obtained by such force fields often match experimental values.
AMBER Force Fields
The situation of the potential energy function of the AMBER force field is relatively simple, requiring few parameters and a relatively small amount of computation. AMBER force field is mainly used to study biological molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides.
OPLS-AA Force Fields
The OPLS-AA force field has been developed for calculations on organic liquids, dilute aqueous solutions, hydrogen bonding, and ionic water complexes, and provides a set of functions describing the non-bonding interactions of proteins in crystals or aqueous solutions.
