In this study we present an alternative parametrization strategy of standard DPD force field based on data extracted from a united-atom molecular dynamics model and solving an inverse problem targeting certain properties.

Quantitative comparisons between these DPD models indicated that the DPD models with MZ-guided force fields were able to reproduce the velocity autocorrelation function as well as the pair correlation function of the MD system.

The DPD models introduced included the radial and transverse force components between the beads, and the rotational motion of the particles. The dissipative particle dynamics model was derived from the MoriвЂ“Zwanzig (MZ) projection of the underlying atomistic dynamics. 14 presented a bottom-up coarse-graining procedure to construct mesoscopic force fields directly from microscopic dynamics. However, most of the presented methods were intended to aim at a specific system property, which lead to situations where other statistics of the simulated system were lost. 13 showed an MD-based calibration scheme designed for the parametrization of models suitable for flow problems. Other researchers coupled DPD with MD simulations to calibrate models by matching the structural data from the atomistic simulations 11, 12. The most popular method of calibration was introduced by Groot and Warren 10 through mapping onto FloryвЂ“Huggins theory. In DPD systems the intended physical properties are determined by means of parameter calibration. In contrast to MD, the physical attributes of the soft matter such as actual atomic diameter, mass, energy, and depth of the potential well cannot be set in the DPD formulation 9. DPD models have proven to be useful in many fields of chemical research, enabling the description of complex phenomena of self-assembly of soft-matter quasicrystals and their approximants 5, spontaneous fibril formation by random-coil peptides 6, and simulations of large-scale micellar structures 7, 8. This is achieved by the utilization of simplified soft potentials and coarse-grained representations of modelled structures. Compared to methods based on atomistic force fields such as molecular dynamics (MD), DPD permits the simulation of large systems over relatively long-time scales 4. First introduced by Hoogerbrugge and Koelman 2 DPD was further refined by EspaГ±ol and Warren 3. The final structure resembled a three-dimensional network created by tightly associated homogalacturonan chains organized into thick fibres.Дissipative particle dynamics (DPD) is a stochastic mesoscale particle model, commonly used for the large-scale modelling of self-assembly of the polymeric systems 1. The resulting DPD trajectories showed that randomly dispersed homogalacturonan chains had a tendency to aggregate into highly organized 3D structures. The structure of polygalacturonic acid molecules was mapped into the DPD force field by means of the distance and angular bond characteristics, which closely matched the MD results. The successful application of the proposed parametrization method allowed for the reproduction of the shapes of radial distribution functions, particle velocities and diffusivity of the atomistic molecular dynamics model using DPD force field. A novel approach to a time-scale calibration scheme based on matching the average velocities of coarse-grained particles enabled the DPD forcefield to reproduce essential structural features of homogalacturonan molecular chains. The extraction of coarse-grained parameters from atomistic molecular dynamics was achieved by means of the proposed molecule aggregation algorithm based on an iterative nearest neighbour search. The model of the homogalacturonan was designed to test the ability of the formation of large-scale structures via hydrogen bonding in water.

In this study we present an alternative dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) parametrization strategy based on data extracted from the united-atom molecular simulations.
