Abstract
En 中文
There is an accelerating interest in practical applications of alchemical free energy methods to problems in protein design, constant pH simulations, and especially computer-aided drug design. In the present paper, we describe a basic lambda dynamics engine (BLaDE) that enables alchemical free energy simulations, including multisite lambda dynamics (MS lambda D) simulations, on graphical processor units (GPUs). We find that BLaDE is 5 to 8 times faster than the current GPU implementation of MS lambda D-based free energy calculations in CHARMM. We also demonstrate that BLaDE running standard molecular dynamics attains a performance competitive with and sometimes exceeding that of the highly optimized OpenMM GPU code. BLaDE is available as a standalone program and through an API in CHARMM.
