Effective fragment potential method
Template:New unreviewed article
The Effective Fragment Potential (EFP) method is a computational approach designed to describe intermolecular interactions and environmental effects[1]. It is a computationally inexpensive means to describe interactions in non-bonded systems[2]. It was originally formulated to describe the solvent effects in complex chemical systems[3]. However, it has undergone vast improvements in the past two decades, and is currently used to represent intermolecular interactions (represented as rigid fragments), and in Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations as well[1].
