Hi Sikandar,

The OW atoms will act on the HW atoms, so that piece of information survives the FM procedure. By not modeling OW in the CG model you only lose the forces acting on these particles, not their effect on the ones you're interested in.

Best,
Tristan

Hi

Force Matching algorithm tries to match forces on CG sites. Forces on CG site are determined by using all-atom MD trajectory and Mapping scheme utilized to map atoms to CG site. This way, if OW is chosen to be CG for SPC/E water then only the Force acting on OW will be reproduced.

My question is, what happens to the information about forces on HW atoms? The trajectory of OW atoms in all-atom MD also depend on forces on HW atoms. Is it not erroneous to neglect these forces in FM alorithm?

thanks
sikandar
