Bonds cannot be broken or formed in classical MD.  That process is more suited 
to QM/MM type calculations.  Certainly the papers you have read provide 
methodology, and if you have specific questions on what has been done, it would 
likely be more efficient to contact the corresponding author(s) of those papers 
directly.
