Each species is a
Level-5 reduced record: a set of surface points carrying a
position, a charge, and a hydrophobicity value (instead of the full electronic
structure). The two records interact via:
- Coulomb between point charges: F ∝ q_A q_B / r²
- Steric repulsion: r^−12 when surface points overlap
- Hydrophobic attraction: r^−6 between hydrophobic pairs (only attractive)
The ligand is propagated under Brownian dynamics:
dR/dt = F/γ + √(2k_B T/γ) η with rotational analog.
The receptor is fixed at the origin.
