520 |a The ability to predict and characterize free energy differences associated with conformational equilibria or the binding of biomolecules is vital to understanding the molecular basis of many important biological functions. As biological studies focus on larger molecular complexes and properties of the genome, proteome, and interactome, the development and characterization of efficient methods for calculating free energy becomes increasingly essential. The aim of this study is to examine the robustness of the end-point free energy method termed the molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann solvent accessible surface area (MM/PBSA) method. Specifically, applications of MM/PBSA to the conformational equilibria of nucleic acid (NA) systems are explored. This is achieved by comparing A to B form DNA conformational free energy differences calculated using MM/PBSA with corresponding free energy differences determined with a more rigorous and time-consuming umbrella sampling algorithm. In addition, the robustness of NA MM/PBSA calculations is also evaluated in terms of the sensitivity towards the choice of force field and the choice of solvent model used during conformational sampling. MM/PBSA calculations of the free energy difference between A-form and B-form DNA are shown to be in very close agreement with the PMF result determined using an umbrella sampling approach. Further, it is found that the MM/PBSA conformational free energy differences were also in agreement using either the CHARMM or AMBER force field. The influence of ionic strength on conformational stability was particularly insensitive to the choice of force field. Finally, it is also shown that the use of a generalized Born implicit solvent during conformational sampling results in free energy estimates that deviate slightly from those obtained using explicitly solvated MD simulations in these NA systems
