Abstract

Infrared spectra of biomolecules are obtained from molecular dynamics simulations at finite temperature using the AMOEBA force field. Diverse examples are presented such as N-methylacetamide and its derivatives and a helical peptide. The computed spectra from polarizable molecular dynamics are compared in each case to experimental ones at various temperatures. The role of high-level electrostatic treatment and explicit polarization, including parameters improvements, is highlighted for obtaining spectral sensitivity to the environment including hydrogen bonds and water molecules and a better understanding of the observed experimental bands.
