A nonequilibrium method for the estimation of equilibrium free energies without work measurement
Recent developments in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics have shown the existence of exact and remarkably simple equalities relating equilibrium free energies and work measurements in a class of nonequilibrium processes, in which the reaction coordinate is dynamically driven between configurations of interest by some external agent [1, 2, 3]. In the present contribution, a different type of ...
متن کاملEquilibrium Free Energies from Nonequilibrium Processes *
A recent result, relating the (irreversible) work performed on a system during a non-quasistatic process, to the Helmholtz free energy difference between two equilibrium states of the system, is discussed. A proof of this result is given for the special case when the evolution of the system in question is modelled by a Langevin equation in configuration space. My purpose in this talk is to pres...
متن کاملOptimal estimates of free energies from multistate nonequilibrium work data.
We derive the optimal estimates of the free energies of an arbitrary number of thermodynamic states from nonequilibrium work measurements; the work data are collected from forward and reverse switching processes and obey a fluctuation theorem. The maximum likelihood formulation properly reweights all pathways contributing to a free energy difference and is directly applicable to simulations and...
متن کاملCalculating free-energy profiles in biomolecular systems from fast nonequilibrium processes.
Often gaining insight into the functioning of biomolecular systems requires to follow their dynamics along a microscopic reaction coordinate (RC) on a macroscopic time scale, which is beyond the reach of current all atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. A practical approach to this inherently multiscale problem is to model the system as a fictitious overdamped Brownian particle that diffuse...
متن کاملAccuracy and convergence of free energy differences calculated from nonequilibrium switching processes
The molecular-dynamics-based calculation of accurate free energy differences for biomolecular systems is a challenging task. Accordingly, convergence and accuracy of established equilibrium methods has been subject of many studies, often focusing at small test systems. In contrast, the potential of more recently proposed nonequilibrium methods, derived from the Jarzynski and Crooks equalities, ...
