Although there are a number of computational approaches available for the aqueous solubility prediction, a majority of those models rely on the existence of a training set of thermodynamic solubility measurements or/and fail to accurately account for the lattice packing contribution to the solubility. The main focus of this study is the validation of the application of a physics-based aqueous solubility approach…

Pairwise‐based methods such as the free energy perturbation (FEP) method have been widely deployed to compute the binding free energy differences between two similar host–guest complexes. The calculated pairwise free energy difference is either directly adopted or transformed to absolute…

The focus of this study is an estimation of uncertainty of solid-form transition temperature (Ttr) prediction based on modern virtual polymorph screening calculations. That was done through error propagation, utilizing estimated uncertainties of the relative free energy predictions at 0 K as well as of finite-temperature contribution to the polymorphic relative free energy…

Li and co-workers [Li et al., J. Chem. Phys. 146, 214110 (2017)] have recently proposed a methodology to compute the solubility of molecular compounds from first principles, using molecular dynamics simulations. We revise and further explore their methodology that was originally applied to nap…

Free energy calculations for chemical reactions with a steep energy barrier require well defined reaction coordinates (RCs). However, when multiple parallel channels exist along selected RC, the application of conventional enhanced samplings is difficult to generate correct sampling within li…
