[gmx-users] question about GBSA and opls-aa

[Per Larsson]

Hi!

The treatment of 1-2, 1-3 and 1-4 interactions with gbsa differ between the different born radii models, but not between force fields.

For the Still model, polarisation energies are computed once for 1-2, 1-3 and 1-4 interactions, and never updated for these. For the HCT/OBC models, all interactions are included in the calculation of the born radii, and subsequently the polarisation energy, in every step. This is one of the reasons the Still model is faster, there are fewer calculations done per step.

There is thus no special scaling for these interactions in any force field when computing the polarisation energy. They all contribute.

For more details, please also read the original Still/HCT/OBC-papers.
