Force Field Database

This database is a collection of the molecular models used in some publications of the Colina Research Group at the University of Florida.

Select a molecule by navigating the drop down menu below to obtain information on the force field functional forms and parameters used in published articles. For each model, you may download data files containing all necessary molecular modeling information. If using any of the information provided in this database, please cite the corresponding paper, as listed on the webpage for each model.

Parameters

A naming scheme is used in this work for each united atom bead. The naming scheme used is:

[element][type][hydrogens]

[element]: the chemical element of the atom

[type]: the chemical environment of the atom,

A = Aromatic, H = Tetrahedral, L = Linear, P = Trigonal Planar, S = Shared Aromatic, K = Ketone

[hydrogens]: the number of bonded hydrogen atoms in the pseudo atom

For example, CH2 is a tetrahedral carbon unit atom bead with two associated hydrogens. An “L” preceding a Linking atom type designates an atom being used in a Polymatic bonding step.
