摘要
This paper proposes combining non-Boltzmann sampling with free energy perturbation to allow calculations of the free energy of hydration of a solute with both solute-water and water-water interactions with the nearest waters calculated by high-level quantum models. The method involves simulation of an approximate model of all interactions and uses both free energy perturbation and non-Boltzmann sampling to calculate the difference in energy between the approximate and quantum models.
