Abstract

We develop an efficient method to compute the electrostatic component of the solvation free energy via the two-point Padé approximation. The Padé approximant uses four parameters to describe the electrostatic free energy change of the solvation process, which could be readily determined from four thermodynamic properties obtained in two simulations, namely, the first- and second-order free energy…
