Résumé

We present the GB-OBC model as an approach for implicit-solvent MD simulations of a synthetic macromolecule in water. The model is tested and found to be successful in reproducing the chain dimensions and predicting the free energy of solvation of carboxylic acid vinyl polymers. The influence of stereochemistry and the hydrophobic nature of the polymer was investigated as a function of chain length (20 <
