Hello,
Amber documentation covers Free Energy calculations, such as thermodynamic integration and using other methods such as BAR. It independently discusses QM/MM as well. However free energy calculations, specifically alchemical changes in which a molecule is decoupled from the system, or mutated into another molecule, using a lambda parameter that changes from 0 to 1 or vice versa, are not discussed in the context of QM/MM.
There is a post in the mail list from 2010 regarding TI when using QM/MM. There was an issue, but the issue wasn't that TI couldn't be done in QM/MM. This has me hopeful.
Can free energy methods such as TI, BAR, etc. be performed in a QM/MM simulation in amber 18?
I am specifically interested in hydration free energies of small (<50 atoms) organic molecules.
Thanks,
