经典势中分子自由能的计算

Calculation of molecular free energies in classical potentials

Asaf Farhi

摘要:

分子的自由能可以通过量子计算或简正模经典计算来计算。然而,第一个可以计算不切实际的大分子和第二个是基于谐波动力学的假设。提出了一种新的、精确的、完整的标准经典势下分子自由能的计算方法。在这种方法中,我们通过放松依赖于该分子中的一组原子的坐标的势项来变换分子,并计算与变换相关的自由能差。然后,由于转换后的分子可以被视为非相互作用系统,与这些原子的自由能进行了分析或数值计算。这种两步计算可以应用于计算分子的自由能或一般环境中分子之间的自由能差(可能很大)。我们提出了化学反应自由能计算在经典分子模拟中的潜在应用。

英文摘要:

Free energies of molecules can be calculated by quantum computations or by normal mode classical calculations. However, the first can be computationally impractical for large molecules and the second is based on the assumption of harmonic dynamics. We present a novel, accurate and complete calculation of molecular free energies in standard classical potentials. In this method we transform the molecule by relaxing potential terms which depend on the coordinates of a group of atoms in that molecule and calculate the free energy difference associated with the transformation. Then, since the transformed molecule can be treated as non interacting systems, the free energy associated with these atoms is analytically or numerically calculated. This two-step calculation can be applied to calculate free energies of molecules or free energy difference between (possibly large) molecules in a general environment. We suggest the potential application of free energy calculation of chemical reactions in classical molecular simulations.
