CCL: Force Field Benchmarks for Proteins, RNA, DNA and Lipids



 Sent to CCL by: "Jim Kress" [jimkress35%gmail.com]
 Recently, I've been working with colleagues to develop a new force field for
 biochemical/ biophysical application - specifically proteins, RNA, DNA and
 Lipids.  I've been seeking a testing/ validation suite for these type of
 force fields with no success.
 I recently noticed this publication:
 "Force Field Benchmark of Organic Liquids: Density, Enthalpy of
 Vaporization, Heat Capacities, Surface Tension, Isothermal Compressibility,
 Volumetric Expansion Coefficient, and Dielectric Constant", by Carl
 Caleman,
 Paul J. van Maaren, Minyan Hong, Jochen S. Hub, Luciano T. Costa, David van
 der Spoel , J. Chem. Theory Comput., 2012, 8 (1), pp 61-74
 Can anyone point me to a similar analysis of force fields for Proteins, RNA,
 DNA and Lipids?
 Thanks.
 Jim
