Replica-Exchange and Standard State Binding Free Energies with Grand Canonical Monte Carlo
Replica-Exchange and Standard State Binding Free Energies with Grand Canonical Monte Carlo
The ability of grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) to create and annihilate molecules in a given region greatly aids the identification of water sites and water binding free energies in protein cavities. However, acceptance rates without the application of biased moves can be low, resulting in large variations in the observed water occupancies. Here, we show that replica exchange of the chemical potential significantly reduces the variance of the GCMC data. This improvement comes at a negligible increase in computational expense when simulations comprise of runs at different chemical potentials. Replica exchange GCMC is also found to substantially increase of the precision of standard state water binding free energies as calculated with grand canonical integration, which has allowed us to address a missing standard state correction.

Abstract
The ability of grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) to create and annihilate molecules in a given region greatly aids the identification of water sites and water binding free energies in protein cavities. However, acceptance rates without the application of biased moves can be low, resulting in large variations in the observed water occupancies. Here, we show that replica exchange of the chemical potential significantly reduces the variance of the GCMC data. This improvement comes at a negligible increase in computational expense when simulations comprise of runs at different chemical potentials. Replica exchange GCMC is also found to substantially increase of the precision of standard state water binding free energies as calculated with grand canonical integration, which has allowed us to address a missing standard state correction.
