OPLS: Implementation, Functional form & Parameterization

The OPLS (Optimized Potentials for Liquid Simulations) force field was developed by Prof. William L. Jorgensen at Purdue University and later at Yale University, and is being further developed commercially by Schrödinger, Inc.

Source & methodology

TTTA analyzes the structure around OPLS to surface related topics, entities, relationships, concept neighborhoods and bridge connections. Use the map to explore areas such as Implementation, Functional form & Parameterization, including less central topics that may reveal useful research gaps. Automatically extracted connections are research leads rather than rewritten encyclopedia content.
