Coarse-grained Dynamics Simulations

Coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation (CGMD) is a computational simulation method used in the fields of biology, chemistry, and materials. It can significantly reduce the computational load by simplifying large, complex molecular systems into a small number of geometrically large "coarse particles". These simulation models are highly accurate and reproducible and can greatly improve the understanding and prediction of molecular structure and physical properties. With our expertise in the field, CD ComputaBio offers a wide range of CGMD services tailored to meet your research needs.

Particle Coarse-Graining Algorithms: A particle coarse-graining algorithm is a computational technique used in statistical physics to simplify complex systems by averaging out microscopic details and representing the system at a coarser level of resolution.

Force Coarse-Graining Algorithms: Force coarse-graining is a technique in computer science that involves breaking a large system into smaller, more manageable pieces called coarse grains. This is done by artificially eliminating irrelevant or unimportant details to the task at hand. It can improve the performance of algorithms because it reduces the amount of data.

Implementation of Coarse-Grained Simulations

Force Field Development

A force field is a computational method for estimating the forces between atoms within a molecule and between molecules. We can develop the force field according to the customer's requirements.

Mapping Schemes

We utilize efficient mapping schemes to translate atomistic structures to coarse-grained representations. These mappings preserve the essential features of the system while reducing the computational complexity.


System-Specific Parameterization

Each system requires characteristic parameter settings. Our system-specific parameterization refers to the configuration of specific parameters to optimize the performance and functionality of a particular system.

Algorithm Selection

We can select a specific algorithm for you depending on the system. Our specialists have extensive experience in this field. Our selection of algorithms helps chemists accurately predict molecular structures and optimize molecular conformations.
