Studies 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 کاملUse of Polynomial Interpolation to Reduce Bias and Uncertainty of Free Energy Estimates via Thermodynamic Integration
This report presents several approaches aimed at reducing the bias and uncertainty of the free energy difference estimates obtained using the thermodynamic integration simulation strategy. The central idea is to utilize interpolation schemes, rather than the often-used trapezoidal rule quadrature, to fit the thermodynamic integration data, and obtain a more accurate and precise estimate of the ...
متن کاملComputing Relative Free Energies of Solvation using Single Reference Thermodynamic Integration Augmented with Hamiltonian Replica Exchange.
This paper introduces an efficient single-topology variant of Thermodynamic Integration (TI) for computing relative transformation free energies in a series of molecules with respect to a single reference state. The presented TI variant that we refer to as Single-Reference TI (SR-TI) combines well-established molecular simulation methodologies into a practical computational tool. Augmented with...
متن کاملA new set of atomic radii for accurate estimation of solvation free energy by Poisson–Boltzmann solvent model
The Poisson-Boltzmann implicit solvent (PB) is widely used to estimate the solvation free energies of biomolecules in molecular simulations. An optimized set of atomic radii (PB radii) is an important parameter for PB calculations, which determines the distribution of dielectric constants around the solute. We here present new PB radii for the AMBER protein force field to accurately reproduce t...
متن کاملEfficient evaluation of binding free energy using continuum electrostatics solvation.
The linear interaction energy (LIE) method is combined with energy minimization and finite-difference Poisson calculation of electrostatic solvation for the estimation of the absolute free energy of binding. A predictive accuracy of about 1.0 kcal/mol is obtained for 13 and 29 inhibitors of beta-secretase (BACE) and HIV-1 protease (HIV-1 PR), respectively. The multiplicative coefficients for th...
