Abstract
Two novel approaches to construct empirical schemes for partial atomic charge calculation were proposed. The charge schemes possess important benefits. First, they produce both topologically symmetrical and environment dependent charges. Second, they can be parameterised to reasonably reproduce ab initio molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), which guarantees their successful use in molecular modelling. To validate the approaches, the parameters of the proposed charge schemes were fitted to best reproduce MEP simultaneously on grids around a set of 227 diverse organic compounds. The residual errors in MEP reproduction due to calculated atomic charges were compared to those due to charges from known charge schemes. 1Presented at CMTPI 2007: Computational Methods in Toxicology and Pharmacology Integrating Internet Resources (Moscow, Russia, September 1–5, 2007).
