What Does EFP Stand For?

EFP stands for Effective Fragment Potential Method

The Effective Fragment Potential (EFP) Method is a computational approach used in molecular modeling and simulations to study large chemical systems. By representing a molecular system as a collection of smaller, effective fragments, this method simplifies calculations while maintaining a high level of accuracy in predicting molecular interactions and properties. EFP is particularly useful for capturing the effects of electronic polarization and long-range interactions, making it a valuable tool in fields such as drug design, materials science, and fundamental chemistry research.
