Linear-scaling soft-core scheme for alchemical free energy calculations
Alchemical free energy calculations involving the removal or insertion of atoms into condensed phase systems generally make use of soft-core scaling of nonbonded interactions, designed to circumvent numerical instabilities that arise from weakly interacting "hard" atoms in close proximity. Current methods model soft-core atoms by introducing a nonlinear dependence between the shape of the inter...
متن کاملNew Soft-Core Potential Function for Molecular Dynamics Based Alchemical Free Energy Calculations.
The fields of rational drug design and protein engineering benefit from accurate free energy calculations based on molecular dynamics simulations. A thermodynamic integration scheme is often used to calculate changes in the free energy of a system by integrating the change of the system's Hamiltonian with respect to a coupling parameter. These methods exploit nonphysical pathways over thermodyn...
متن کاملProtein thermostability calculations using alchemical free energy simulations.
Thermal stability of proteins is crucial for both biotechnological and therapeutic applications. Rational protein engineering therefore frequently aims at increasing thermal stability by introducing stabilizing mutations. The accurate prediction of the thermodynamic consequences caused by mutations, however, is highly challenging as thermal stability changes are caused by alterations in the fre...
متن کاملAbsolute-energy-minimum principles for linear-scaling electronic-structure calculations
Two absolute energy minimum principles are developed for first-principle linear-scaling electronic structure calculations. One is with a normalization constraint and the other without any constraint. The density matrix is represented by a set of nonorthogonal localized orbitals and an auxiliary matrix which at the minimum becomes a generalized inverse of the overlap matrix of the localized orbi...
متن کاملAlchemical Free Energy Calculations for Nucleotide Mutations in Protein-DNA Complexes.
Nucleotide-sequence-dependent interactions between proteins and DNA are responsible for a wide range of gene regulatory functions. Accurate and generalizable methods to evaluate the strength of protein-DNA binding have long been sought. While numerous computational approaches have been developed, most of them require fitting parameters to experimental data to a certain degree, e.g., machine lea...
