A polarizable force field (PFF) using multiple fluctuating charges per atom, ABEEMσπ PFF, is presented in this work. The fluctuating partial charges are obtained from the electronegativity equalization principle applied to the decomposition scheme of atom-bond regions into multiple charge sites: atomic, lone-pair electron, and σandπbond regions. These multiple partial charges per atom should better account for the polarization effect than single atomic charge in other PFFs. To evaluate the PFF, structural and energetic properties for some organic and biochemical systems, including rotational barriers; binding energies of base pairs; a base-base interaction in a B-DNA decamer; and interaction energies of ten stationary conformers of a water dimer, peptides, and bases with water molecules, have been calculated and compared with the experimental data orab initioMP2 results. Molecular dynamics simulations using the PFF have been performed for crambin and BPTI protein systems. Better performances in modeling root-mean-square deviations of backbone bond lengths, bond angles, key dihedral angles, the coordinate root-mean-square shift of atoms, and the distribution of hydrogen bonds have been observed in comparison with other PFFs. These results indicate that the fluctuating charge force field, ABEEMσπ/MM, is accurate and reliable and can be applied to wide ranges of organic and biomolecular systems.
