All of the Towhee atom types for this force field are listed, along with a short description of their meanings. This is perhaps the most popular water potential of all time and several other force fields use similar parameterizations. TIP3P is a rigid water model that has a Lennard-Jones site on the Oxygen and bare charge sites on the Hydrogens. The Jorgensen group has also parameterized two other water models that utilize additional interaction sites. Please see the <a href="tip4p.html">TIP4P</a>and <a href="tip5p.html">TIP5P</a> web pages for more information about those water models. This water model is suitable for use with any Lennard-Jones forcefield, but is especially well suited for the OPLS family of potentials. Please see the <a href="oplsua.html">OPLS-ua</a>, <a href="oplsaa.html">OPLS-aa</a>, and <a href="opls2001.html">OPLS-2001</a> web pages for more information. Any discrepencies (especially typos) from the published force field values are the sole responsibility of <a href="mailto:marcus_martin@users.sourceforge.net">Marcus Martin</a>, and I welcome feedback on how this implementation compares with other programs. <p> </p> </ul> <b>References for TIP3P</b> <ul> TIP3P was originally published in the following paper <ul> <li><a href="../references.html#jorgensen_et_al_1983">Jorgensen <i>et al.</i> 1983</a></li> </ul> </ul> <b>TIP3P in Towhee</b> <ul> The official force field name for TIP3P in Towhee is 'TIP3P'. Here I list all of the atom names for use in the towhee_input file, along with a brief description taken from the literature. Please note that the capitalization and spacing pattern is important and must be followed exactly as listed here. <ul> <li><b>'H'</b> : hydrogen in water</li> <li><b>'O'</b> : oxygen in water</li> </ul> </ul> <b>Coulombic interactions</b> <ul> TIP3P uses atom-centered point charges to represent the electrostatic interactions. The 'bond increment' method for assigning charges is implemented for this force field. Please see the <a href="../inpstyle/inpstyle_2.html">inpstyle 2</a> documentation for further information on enabling this option. Here I list the bond increments for the atom names listed above. The value of the bond increment is added to the first atom listed and subtracted from the second atom listed. <ul> <li><font color="green">H</font> - <font color="green">O</font>: 0.417</li> </ul> </ul> <a href="../towhee_capabilities.html">Return to the Towhee Capabilities web page</a> <p> </p> </td> </tr> </table> <hr width="715" align="left"> <i><font size="2">Send comments to:</font></i> <font size="2"> <a href="mailto:marcus_martin@users.sourceforge.net">Marcus G.
