New paper from the Voelz Lab in @pccp.rsc.org! Goold et al. performed many parallel expanded ensemble free energy simulations on @foldingathome.org using GROMACS (@gromacs.bsky.social) with OpenFF 2.0 (@openforcefield.org) to make blind logP predictions in SAMPL9

Expanded ensemble predictions of toluene–water partition coefficients in the SAMPL9 log P challenge
The logarithm of the partition coefficient (log P) between water and a nonpolar solvent is useful for characterizing a small molecule's hydrophobicity. For example, the water–octanol log P is often us...

A very common use case for our force fields is to simulate a protein-ligand system, using OpenFF parameters for the ligand and a protein-specific force field for the protein. Here's an example of how to set up and run a simulation like this:
