Abstract

In attempts to simulate the protonation of proteins, a major challenge is that the number of protonation states grows rapidly as a function (2N) of the number of protonation sites (N). Expression on the free energy of the protonation state as an N-site Ising model ─ using an empirical Generalized-Born model ─ allows a quantum computer to efficiently determine the important states at a given pH val…
