While the methods used to describe induction in this work are novel in their application to study RNA, force fields for nucleic acids with explicit forms of polarization are itself not a unique concept. Two of the most noteworthy force fields are the Drude oscillator model and the AMOEBA force field. The CHARMM Drude oscillator model has been applied to both proteins and nucleic acids, with much work focusing on modeling the complex structures of G-quadruplexes and their reliance on ionbase interactions. The AMOEBA force field takes a different approach to tackle the polarization problem, instead by including instantaneous point-dipoles on each of the atoms that are induced by a multipole representation of frozen electrostatics of other non-bonded molecules. However, atom-centered dipoles are not the only method of accounting for nucleobase induction; Fluctuating charge models(FCMs) provide molecular wide polarization instead via the sum of atom-centered charges that change throughout a simulation.
