Abstract

The quality of the 1.14*CM1A and 1.20*CM5 charge models was evaluated for calculations of free energies of hydration. For a set of 426 neutral molecules, 1.14*CM1A and 1.20*CM5 yield MADs of 1.26 and 1.21 kcal/mol, respectively. The 1.14*CM1A charges, which can be readily obtained for large systems, exhibit large deviations only for a subset of functional groups. The results for these cases were systematically improved using localized bond-charge corrections (LBCC) by which offsetting adjustments are made to the partial charges for atoms in specified bond types. Only 19 LBCCs were needed to yield 1.14*CM1A-LBCC charges that reduce the errors for the 426 ΔGhyd values to only 0.61 kcal/mol. The modified charge…
