Abstract

A method for obtaining potential energy surfaces for macromolecules is described. The basis of the method is the use of a neural network to learn the relationship between vibrational spectra and a multidimensional potential energy surface (PES). The results demonstrate that the neural network is capable of mapping the vibrational motion determined from spectra onto a fully coupled PES with relatively high levels of accuracy.
