Physics:Universal force field

From HandWiki

Universal force field (UFF) is an all atom potential containing parameters for every atom. The force field parameters are estimated using general rules based only on the element, its hybridization, and its connectivity. It was developed by W.A. Goddard III and colleagues.[1]
