A conformational factorisation approach for estimating the binding free energies of macromolecules
2014

When varying the size of the rigid region, the free energy difference converges for factorisation of groups at a distance of 14Å from the binding site, which corresponds to 80% of the protein being locally ...
A further significant gain in efficiency is achieved using a recently developed local rigid body framework in both the sampling and the normal mode analysis, which reduces the number of degrees of freedom ...
For a fully flexible molecule, κ = 3N − 6 where N is the number of atoms. The number of vibrational modes is reduced if parts of the molecule are rigidified, as described in the next section. ...
