METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR IMPROVING FREE ENERGY ESTIMATION OF FRAGMENTS

摘要

Methods and systems for estimating the free energy of molecules from a plurality of fragments are disclosed. A number of poses for each fragment in an unbound state and a sum of the free energy values for each fragment may be determined. A number of acceptable poses for each of a plurality of fragments when bound may also be determined. An entropy loss may be estimated based on at least the number of acceptable poses for each of the plurality of fragments when bound and the number of poses for each fragment in an unbound state. A free energy value may be determined for the plurality of fragments when bound based on the entropy loss.
