How can I modify the Martini v2 or v3 force field to increase the Lennard Jones potential well depth (epsilon)?

Since you seem to have at least a start on automating the process of modifying the file, I will just address the other two parts of your question: the format of the ...

What kind of systems do we need to coarse-grain to observe interesting phenomena?

"What kind of systems do we need to coarse-grain to observe interesting phenomena?" Systems that would otherwise be too large and/or complicated to simulate in a reasonable amount of time ...

To what extent can coarse-grained models retain the essential quantum mechanical characteristics of a system?

Generally, in multi-scale modelling, QM characteristics are irrelevant. Most of the processes that we study for these multi-scale modelling are thermodynamics driven. So, I will be very surprised if ...

I believe I have figured it out. For those trying to martinize their all-atom files into coarse grain representations for martini 3, use the following package: https://github.com/marrink-lab/vermouth-...

Understanding the rigorous bridge between atomistic and coarse-grained simulations

Before working through the equations, I'll try to explain the logic behind what they are doing. It helps to think of think of their process backwards and assume they want an expression like equation ...

What kind of systems do we need to coarse-grain to observe interesting phenomena?

The answer given by @NikeDattani is very complete. My two cents... As the systems get bigger and bigger and the computational resources, even with the GPU development, doesn't grow in the same speed, ...

Is it correct to say "in molecular dynamics we are faced with..." or should it be "in molecular modeling we are faced with"?

From a grammatical perspective, I agree with you. It would have been better for them to have said "in molecular dynamics calculations...". instead of just "in molecular dynamics..."...

Is it correct to say "in molecular dynamics we are faced with..." or should it be "in molecular modeling we are faced with"?

I disagree. Generally the term "molecular dynamics" (MD) is used of a particular kind of simulation, to wit the kind where you model the forces that act on atoms and then calculate their ...

Is it correct to say "in molecular dynamics we are faced with..." or should it be "in molecular modeling we are faced with"?

Technically, I think you are correct: if you are talking about both molecular dynamics simulations and Monte Carlo methods, then you are talking about molecular modelling. But why not get even more ...

Choosing Between a Small Cluster and a Workstation for MD Simulations and Quantum Chemistry Calculations

Go for gaming PCs. Especially if you are using GROMACS. You'll get significantly more performance out of RTX40NN GPUs and 13th/14th gen. Intel i7s than you will out of pre-built workstations, and you ...
