ABSTRACT
Mean field approximation is employed for accurate calculation of free energy differences. Significantly enhanced sampling is obtained for local changes. In an example for the mutation of a residue in a protein, the increase in the sampling yielded converged results at a significantly lower computational cost than the usual approach.

An apparent discrepancy in the data for the Gibbs free energy change as a function of temperature at different pHs, originally published by Brandts in 1965 and repeated by Brandts and Hunt in 1967 with an unexplained change in sign, has lead to close to 40 years of misguided thinking in...

The free-energy change in a system represented by an empirical energy function, when calculated by thermodynamic integration from the initial to the final state, can be expressed as a sum of "free-energy components," that correspond to contributions from different energy terms or different parts...

The statistical thermodynamics of compressible multicomponent lattice mixtures is developed using the Bornâ€“Greenâ€“Yvon (BGY) integral equation technique. Expressions for the internal energy, Helmholtz free energy, chemical potential and equation of state are derived, and the routes...

Describing kinetic processes within a perturbation theory approach such as Fermi's golden rule requires an understanding of the initial and final states of the system. A number of different methods have been proposed for obtaining these diabatic-like states, but a robust criterion for evaluating...

We use the mean field theory of Pink et al. with the ab initio calculations of the density of states of Tevlin et al. to calculate various features of the main phase transition of a lipid bilayer using fewer fitting parameters than in previous models. Good agreement with experiment is obtained...

The energetic response of two test systems to changes in the governing Hamiltonians (empirical potential energy functions) are examined. For these two systemsâ€”neon in water using periodic boundary conditions and partially solvated trypsinâ€”a systematic lag is observed between...
