| Zusammenfassung: | © 2022 Wiley Periodicals LLC. The calibration of torsional interaction terms by fitting relative gas-phase conformational energies against their quantum-mechanical values is a common procedure in force-field development. However, much less attention has been paid to the optimization of third-neighbor nonbonded interaction parameters, despite their strong coupling with the torsions. This article introduces an algorithm termed LLS-SC, aimed at simultaneously parametrizing torsional and third-neighbor interaction terms based on relative conformational energies. It relies on a self-consistent (SC) procedure where each iteration involves a linear least-squares (LLS) regression followed by a geometry optimization of the reference structures. As a proof-of-principle, this method is applied to obtain torsional and third-neighbor interaction parameters for aliphatic chains in the context of the GROMOS 53A6 united-atom force field. The optimized parameter set is compared to the original one, which has been fitted manually against thermodynamic properties for small linear alkanes.
