New solvation free energy function comprising intermolecular solvation and intramolecular self-solvation terms
Solvation free energy is a fundamental thermodynamic quantity that should be determined to estimate various physicochemical properties of a molecule and the desolvation cost for its binding to macromolecular receptors. Here, we propose a new solvation free energy function through the improvement of the solvent-contact model, and test its applicability in estimating the solvation free energies o...
متن کاملAccurate predictions of nonpolar solvation free energies require explicit consideration of binding-site hydration.
Continuum solvation methods are frequently used to increase the efficiency of computational methods to estimate free energies. In this paper, we have evaluated how well such methods estimate the nonpolar solvation free-energy change when a ligand binds to a protein. Three different continuum methods at various levels of approximation were considered, viz., the polarized continuum model (PCM), a...
متن کاملCoupling nonpolar and polar solvation free energies in implicit solvent models.
Recent studies on the solvation of atomistic and nanoscale solutes indicate that a strong coupling exists between the hydrophobic, dispersion, and electrostatic contributions to the solvation free energy, a facet not considered in current implicit solvent models. We suggest a theoretical formalism which accounts for coupling by minimizing the Gibbs free energy of the solvent with respect to a s...
متن کاملPredicting aqueous free energies of solvation as functions of temperature.
This work introduces a model, solvation model 6 with temperature dependence (SM6T), to predict the temperature dependence of aqueous free energies of solvation for compounds containing H, C, and O in the range 273-373 K. In particular, we extend solvation model 6 (SM6), which was previously developed (Kelly, C. P.; Cramer, C. J.; Truhlar, D. G. J. Chem. Theory Comput. 2005, 1, 1133) for predict...
متن کاملContinuous medium theory for nonequilibrium solvation: I. How to correctly evaluate solvation free energy of nonequilibrium
Considering the influences of electrostatic potential Phi upon the change of solute charge distribution deltarho and rho upon the change deltaPhi at the same time, a more reasonable integral formula of dG = (1/2) integral (V) (rhodeltaPhi + Phideltarho)dV is used to calculate the change of the electrostatic free energy in charging the solute-solvent system to a nonequilibrium state, instead of ...
