Abstract

Fragment molecular orbital molecular dynamics (FMO-MD) with periodic boundary conditions is performed on liquid water using the analytic energy gradient, the electrostatic potential point charge approximation, a:ad the electrostatic dimer approximation. Compared to previous FMO-MD simulations of water that used an approximate energy gradient, inclusion of the response terms to provide a fully analytic energy gradient results in better energy conservation in the NVE ensemble for liquid water. An FMO-MD simulation that includes the fully analytic energy gradient and two body corrections (FMO2) gives improved energy conservation compared with a previously calculated FMO-MD simulation with an approximate energy gradient and including up to three body corrections (FMO3).
