In molecular simulations, the dominant portion of the computational cost is associated with force field calculations. Herein, we extend the approach used to approximate long range gravitational force and the associated moment in spacecraft dynamics to the coulomb forces present in coarse grained biopolymer simulations. We approximate the resultant force and moment for long-range particle-body and body-body interactions due to the electrostatic force field. The resultant moment approximated here is due to the fact that the net force does not necessarily act through the center of mass of the body (pseudoatom). This moment is considered in multibody-based coarse grain simulations while neglected in bead models which use particle dynamics to address the dynamics of the system. A novel binary divide and conquer algorithm (BDCA) is presented to implement the force field approximation. The proposed algorithm is implemented by considering each rigid/flexible domain as a node of the leaf level of the binary tree. This substructuring strategy is well suited to coarse grain simulations of chain biopolymers using an articulated multibody approach.

Abstract Force constants and normal coordinates of MnS2 , FeS2 , RuS2, RuSe2, RuTe2, OsS2 and PtP2 are calculated based on the five ir active vibrations of the pyrite lattice. By setting up a valence force field consisting of short and long range M -X, X2 -X2 and M -M stretching constants it has proved possible to obtain good agreement between experimental and calculated frequencies with expection of FeS2 and RuS2 . The force constants corresponding to the shortest metal chalcogen distances (MnS2: 0.30, RuSe2: 0.88, RuTe2: 0.62, OsS2: 1.32, PtP2: 1.22 mdyn/Å) are mainly responsible for the ir frequencies. For RuSe2 and RuTe2, the forces between adjacent X2 groups are not negligible. Whereas the force constants of OsS2 and PtP2 are of comparable strength, the forces in MnS2 are significantly weaker than those in the other compounds. The normal coordinates of MnS2, OsS2 and PtP2 , and RuSe2 and RuTe2 show significant differences according to both the contribution of the 6 symmetry coordinates to the 5 ir active vibrations and the assignment of the spectra.
