Wall-liquid and wall-crystal interfacial free energies via thermodynamic integration: a molecular dynamics simulation study.
A method is proposed to compute the interfacial free energy of a Lennard-Jones system in contact with a structured wall by molecular dynamics simulation. Both the bulk liquid and bulk face-centered-cubic crystal phase along the (111) orientation are considered. Our approach is based on a thermodynamic integration scheme where first the bulk Lennard-Jones system is reversibly transformed to a st...
متن کاملFree Energy Computation by Monte Carlo Integration
The principles behind the computation of protein-ligand binding free energies by Monte Carlo integration are described in detail. The simulation provides gas-phase binding free energies that can be converted to aqueous energies by solvation corrections. The direct integration simulation has several characteristics beneficial to free-energy calculations. One is that the number of parameters that...
متن کاملDirect calculation of solid-liquid interfacial free energy for molecular systems: TIP4P ice-water interface.
By extending the cleaving method to molecular systems, we perform direct calculations of the ice Ih-water interfacial free energy for the TIP4P model. The values for the basal, prism, and {112[over]0} faces are 23.3+/-0.8 mJ m{-2}, 23.6+/-1.0 mJ m{-2}, and 24.7+/-0.8 mJ m{-2}, respectively. The closeness of these values implies a minimal role of thermodynamic factors in the anisotropic growth o...
متن کاملStudies on free energy calculations. I. Thermodynamic integration using a polynomial path
The difference in the free energy of hydration between the C, and aR conformations of alanine dipeptide at infinite dilution is computed using Monte Carlo method in a canonical ensemble with the united-atom AMBER force field. The recently introduced polynomial path with different exponents for the calculation of liquid state free energies using thermodynamic integration (TI) is tested. This is ...
متن کاملForging the missing link in free energy estimations: k-WHAM in thermodynamic integration, overlap histogramming, and free energy perturbation
Free energy calculations play an essential role in computational physics. As often observed, based on the same set of simulated data, various free energy estimators, such as thermodynamic integration, overlap histogramming, and free energy perturbation, usually have different convergence behavior. In the present work, a k-WHAM approach is developed to forge such missing link by refining the ene...
