Abstract
Alchemical absolute binding free energy simulations require an intermediate state at which the ligand is held solely by restraints in a position and orientation resembling the bound state. One possible choice consists of one distance, two angle and three dihedral angle restraints. Here, I demonstrate that in practically all cases, the analytical correction derived under the rigid rotator harmonic oscillator approximation is sufficient to account for the free energy of the restraint.
