Sage 2.3.0-rc2 is the second force field candidate in Open Force Field using AshGC v1.0. Both vdW and valence parameters have been re-fit, using AshGC charges, to a dataset of physical properties and QM data.

Sage 2.3.0-rc2 is applicable to drug-like molecules consisting of the elements C, H, O, N, P, S, F, Cl, Br, and I, atomic Xe, and the monoatomic ions Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+, F-, Cl-, Br-, and I-.

Compared to Sage 2.2.1, Sage 2.3.0-rc2 splits torsions so that a single torsional parameter only covers a central bond with a single multiplicity. It also adds some bond and angle types to improve performance of targeted chemistries, such as small rings.
