Development of accurate force fields for the simulation of biomineralisation

The existence of an accurate force field model that reproduces the free energy landscape is a key pre-requisite for the simulation of biomineralisation. Here the stages in the development of such a model are discussed including the quality of the water model, the thermodynamics of polymorphism and t...
