The current standard model of biomolecular simulation is the point charge force field. While this model has been useful, it is rarely quantitatively predictive. In my graduate work I developed a force field called HIPPO (Hydrogen-Like Intermolecular Polarizable Potential) designed to specifically address the shortcomings of point-based models. HIPPO includes a model electron density on each atom and rigorous, physics-based formulae for each energy term. We have shown that this model yields very accurate simulations of liquid water. We are currently working on developing this model for full biomolecular simulations.
