Free Energies of Solvation in Cyclohexane and Water: United-Atom vs All-Atom.
Free energies of solvation (ΔGsol) in a prototypical liquid alkane, cyclohexane, have been computed for 101 organic molecules at 25 °C. Monte Carlo statistical mechanics (MC) was used with free-energy perturbation theory (FEP) and both OPLS united-atom (UA) and all-atom (AA) force fields. Updated OPLS-UA parameters are...
