SMartini: automated small molecule parametrization for Martini 3 force field

Show abstract
We present SMartini, an automated pipeline for deriving Martini 3 coarse-grained force-field parameters for arbitrary small molecules. Starting from a molecular structure or a SMILES string, the pipeline maps the all-atom molecule onto a coarse-grained bead representation and automatically fits both bonded and non-bonded parameters. Bonded parameters are obtained via Boltzmann inversion of atomistic molecular dynamics trajectories; successive rounds of coarse-grained simulation and distribution-matching updates then refine these estimates until the coarse-grained conformational ensemble reproduces the all-atom reference within tolerance. We validate the pipeline on a diverse set of small molecules including drug-like compounds, metabolites, and cofactors. Implemented as a modular sequence of scripts that can be orchestrated on high-performance computing clusters, SMartini makes automated parametrization of large ligand libraries practical and reduces the manual effort required for coarse-grained model development, enabling high-throughput coarse-grained simulations of protein--ligand systems within the Martini 3 ecosystem

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
