AMBER

[edit]

The functional form of the AMBER force field is[1]

Note that despite the term force field, this equation defines the potential energy of the system; the force is the derivative of this potential with respect to position.

OPLS

[edit]

The OPLS (Optimized Potentials for Liquid Simulations) force field was developed by Prof. William L. Jorgensen at Purdue University and later at Yale University.

The functional form of the OPLS force field is very similar to that of AMBER:

with the combining rules and .
