Effective Fragment Potential Method

From HandWiki

The Effective Fragment Potential (EFP) method is a computational approach designed to describe intermolecular interactions and environmental effects.[1] It is a computationally inexpensive means to describe interactions in non-bonded systems.[2][3] It was originally formulated to describe the solvent effects in complex chemical systems.[4] However, it has undergone vast improvements in the past two decades, and is currently used to represent intermolecular interactions (represented as rigid fragments), and in Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations as well.[1]
