The DUFF (\underline{D}ipolar \underline{U}nified-atom |
| 5 |

\underline{F}orce \underline{F}ield) force field was developed to |
| 6 |

simulate lipid bilayer formation and equilibrium dynamics. We needed a |
| 7 |

model capable of forming bilaers, while still being sufficiently |
| 8 |

computationally efficient allowing simulations of large systems |

(\~100's of phospholipids, \~1000's of waters) for long times (\~10's |

of nanoseconds). |

With this goal in mind, we decided to eliminate all charged |
| 13 |

interactions within the force field. Charge distributions were |
| 14 |

replaced with dipolar entities, and charge neutral distributions were |
| 15 |

reduced to Lennard-Jones interaction sites. This simplification cuts |
| 16 |

the length scale of long range interactions from $\frac{1}{r}$ to |
| 17 |

$\frac{1}{r^3}$ (Eq.~\ref{eq:dipole} vs.~ Eq.~\ref{eq:coloumb}). |

The main energy function in OOPSE is DUFF (the Dipolar |
| 34 |
|
Unified-atom Force Field). DUFF is a collection of parameters taken |
| 35 |
|
from Seipmann \emph{et al.}\cite{Siepmann1998} and Ichiye \emph{et |
