Recent Advances in Free Energy Calculations with a Combination of Molecular Mechanics and Continuum Models
Abstract
Recently, the combination of state-of-the-art molecular mechanical force fields with continuum solvation models enables us to make relatively accurate predictions of both structures and free energies for macromolecules from molecular dynamics trajectories. The first part of this review is focused on the history and basic theory of free energy calculations based on physically effective energy functions. The second part illustrates the applications of free energy calculations on many biological systems, including proteins, DNA,RNA, protein-ligand, protein-protein, protein-nucleic acid complexes, etc. Finally, the prospective and possible strategies to improve the techniques of MM-PBSA and MM-GBSA is discussed. Keywords: Molecular mechanics, continuum solvation model, MM-PBSA, MM-GBSA, Free energy, binding free energy

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
