AMBER forcefield

Force field

$E_{\rm {total}}=\sum _{\rm {bonds}}K_{r}(r-r_{eq})^{2}+\sum _{\rm {angles}}K_{\theta }(\theta -\theta _{eq})^{2}+\sum _{\rm {dihedrals}}{V_{n} \over 2}[1+{\rm {cos}}(n\phi -\gamma )]+\sum _{i<j}\left[{A_{ij} \over R_{ij}^{12}}-{B_{ij} \over R_{ij}^{6}}+{q_{i}q_{j} \over \epsilon R_{ij}}\right]+\sum _{\rm {H-bonds}}\left[{C_{ij} \over R_{ij}^{12}}-{D_{ij} \over R_{ij}^{10}}\right]$
