Computation of the free energy of solids.
We present a procedure to compute the absolute free energy of solid phases by Monte Carlo simulation. The method is based on the so-called "Einstein-crystal" method of Frenkel and Ladd [J. Chem. Phys. 81, 3188 (1984)]. The new technique is more general and simplifies the calculation for systems with hard core interactions. In addition, the reference Einstein crystal is built up to fulfill trans...
متن کاملDistribution-function approach to free energy computation.
Connections are explored between the free energy difference of two systems and the microscopic distribution functions of the energy difference. On the basis of a rigorous relationship between the energy distribution functions and the free energy, the scheme of error minimization is introduced to derive accurate and simple methods of free energy computation. A set of distribution-function approa...
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 کاملFree energy computation by controlled Langevin dynamics
We propose a nonequilibrium sampling method for computing free energy profiles along a given reaction coordinate. The method consists of two parts: a controlled Langevin sampler that generates nonequilibrium bridge paths conditioned by the reaction coordinate, and Jarzynski’s formula for reweighting the paths. Our derivation of the equations of motion of the sampler is based on stochastic pertu...
متن کاملEnergy fluctuations shape free energy of nonspecific biomolecular interactions
Understanding design principles of biomolecular recognition is a key question of molecular biology. Yet the enormous complexity and diversity of biological molecules hamper the efforts to gain a predictive ability for the free energy of protein-protein, proteinDNA, and protein-RNA binding. Here, using a variant of the Derrida model, we predict that for a large class of biomolecular interactions...
