A Force Balanced Fragmentation Method for ab Initio Molecular Dynamic Simulation of Protein

A force balanced generalized molecular fractionation with conjugate caps (FB-GMFCC) method is proposed for ab initio molecular dynamic simulation of proteins. In this approach, the energy of the protein is computed by a linear combination of the QM energies of individual residues and molecular fragm...
