Abstract

-couplings. With its simple input features and high data-efficiency, Grappa is well suited for extensions to uncharted regions of chemical space, which we show on the example of peptide radicals. We demonstrate Grappa's transferability to macromolecules in MD simulations from a small fast-folding protein up to a whole virus particle. Our force field sets the stage for biomolecular simulations closer to chemical accuracy, but with the same computational cost as established protein force fields.
