Abstract
We are developing software and data tools which parametrize coarse-grained force-fields in a systematic way while preserving the chemistry, thermodynamics, and dynamics of the underlying atomistic system. Our approach is based on statistical thermodynamics where we utilize conservative potentials to model the molecular forces and dissipative potentials to account for the smoother potential energy landscape arising from the loss of configurational entropy. For conservative potentials, we have developed a software code based on the Iterative Boltzmann Inversion (IBI) method. For dissipative potentials, we are developing tools and approaches to parametrize friction based the Langevin thermostat as a first and the most basic approach to approximate the lost degrees of freedom.Proceedings Title
